McCain for Women? The Women Vote.
While the Republican ticket touts a female VP, is this enough to win the women's vote? I should think not. I'd say to suggest such a thing is an insult to all women everywhere. This would be like saying all blacks should vote for Obama. I don’t know about the rest of America, but my mom, my wife, and even my eight year old daughter can see when they are being had.
Women (and men) fought way to hard for the right to vote, to have it exploited.
Sarah Palan and John McCain want to take away a women’s right to choose – even though Sarah Palan’s family had that same choice. They chose life, a good choice, but they had the right to choose none the less. Well, not under their would-be administration.
John McCain voted against the violence against women act. What? Yes you read it right. What was this guy hatched from snake eggs. Doesn’t he have a mother? Oh yeah, they touted her at the convention too. Poor thing looked like she was held up on strings. I guess that was to prove he had a long life expectancy.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden (Especially Joe Biden) have been supporting women’s issues all their careers. Whether it has been right to choose, or equal pay, or protecting women against violence. Their record shows they are on the right side: My daughter’s side, and my side.

I am leaving the comment below for the sake of free speech and the writer, while not leaving their name took great lengths in writing it. Unfortunately the bulk of their argument is about how violent women are. This may be true, but it is completely irrelevent - perhaps there should be a violence against men act. The rest of the arguement is that the laws are too loose, and restraining orders are granted to anyone without much investigation. To that I can only say, if someone goes to the length of getting an order of restraint, they most likely have a decent reason. At any rate, I'd rather air on the side of caution.

Women Want Safety, not Biden's Abuse of Power
Senator Joe Biden proudly proclaims that he was beaten with impunity by his sister as a youth. This is the same sister that raised his two sons after his wife and daughter were killed in an auto accident.
Biden has often claimed that the Violence against Women Act is the greatest achievement of his career. Yet he fails to recognize the role women play as perpetrators of domestic violence.
Hundreds of studies show that women commit acts of domestic violence as often as, or more often than men. Many studies also show that lesbian women physically attack their intimate partners at least as often as heterosexual men.
As a result of Biden's Violence against Women Act, the federal government pays states to create laws effectively requiring that men be removed from their homes and families without even an allegation of violence, with no legitimate standards of evidence, when a woman makes a claim that she is afraid.
Elaine Epstein, president of the Massachusetts Bar Association (1999), has said "the facts have become irrelevant... restraining orders are granted to virtually all who apply. Regarding divorce cases, she states "allegations of abuse are now used for tactical advantage". According to Epstein, who is also a former president of the Massachusetts Women’s Bar Association, restraining orders are doled out "like candy" and "in virtually all cases, no notice, meaningful hearing, or impartial weighing of evidence is to be had."
State restraining order laws are starting to fall because they're unconstitutional. The federal law behind them, written by Joe Biden, is likely to fall as well, not because it isn’t popular, but because it is clearly unconstitutional.

Here are some of the facts regarding Biden's abuse at the hand of his sister. During senate hearings held on December 11, 1990, Biden testified to the abuse.

This recent CDC study indicates that women between the ages of 18 and 28 initiate reciprocal violence against their intimate partners about as often as men. It also indicates that women initiate non-reciprocal violence against their intimate partners more than twice as often as men.

Here is a link to a bibliography of over 200 studies indicating that women are as violent as men in their intimate relationships:

According to the US Department of Justice, women also abuse, neglect and kill their children at significantly higher rates than men. Here’s some of the data on child homicides.

Research clearly indicates that lesbian battery is at least as common as heterosexual battery.
