Biden: This is not your father's GOP

Vice President Biden warned female voters against selecting Republican candidates on Friday, painting the GOP as a force that has obstructed progress on equal opportunities for women.
"This is not your father's Republican Party," Biden told the annual conference of the YWCA. "The other team is taking on virtually every one of the initiatives you and I fought so hard to establish to give girls and women a level chance to have an equal playing field."
Biden spoke of drafting the original Violence Against Women Act in the early 1990s, and of bringing Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on board as an original sponsor.
He expressed shock that the move to reauthorize the act has been met with resistance, and said he and President Obama would be coming back to push the Paycheck Fairness Act, an expansion of the Equal Pay Act passed a half-century ago.
"We shouldn't even be having this debate," Biden said to applause from the audience of mostly women.
