Mitt Romney, takin' special considerations to make sure the Women on his team can get home in time to make their Husbands a Sammich and raise their children.

What is your opinion on maternity leave?

Okay, that burns. Not sure if most people saw it.

What's funny is Romney applied the classic defense "I hire women too!, in fact I'm the best at hiring women!" to fend off the Left's demand for affirmative action, or a sexist claim against a Republican. Then they go ahead and attack him over it anyway.

It's the typical left-wing hyper-partisanship that thinks "You support program/tax/regulation X? I thought you were a conservative/libertarian!" is a rational argument. Or, on the political flip-side, "You support discriminating against racism? I thought you were against discrimination!"

Oooh...oooh! That's when a mommy leaves a bun in the oven at home and she has to take time off from work to take it out of the oven!!

Yes. There is no physical labor or stress involved in giving birth, and the mother neither needs time to recuperate nor does she need to spend time with her newborn, either for physical or psychological reasons. The only people that support the concept maternity leave are sexist religious men, so that the mother can perform her primary duty of child rearing with bonus perks courtesy of the employer. Everyone knows this.

As usual, you have nothing but insults.

It wasn't directed at you and I notice you didn't post what started the insult binge.

At this point, you have to take everything mitt says as a lie unless there's a 3rd party confirmation backing it up. Unless you're monovillage of course. he just eats that shit up.

Romney was the guy that actually hired them. You are a lying piece of garbage aren't you.

No one said he didn't hire them. Then it again it would have been Shannon O’Brien or Romney hiring them anyway as both campaigns committed to doing so. In other words, hiring women didn't depend on Romney being in office or him taking extraordinary initiatives to do so. It was already a per-determined outcome to hire more women which was an initiative pushed by MassGAP.

Romney can run but he can't hide.
What Mitt Romney wants for business is labor at a discount.
Ryan voted against equal pay.
Romney consistently avoids the question on equal pay. Will not answer.
Romney was a business man that made money off low employee wages and outsourcing jobs.
Mitt Romney says he wants high paying jobs.
That is what he "says" on camera.
You connect the dots.

I think this may be a problem for Romney. My wife, who does not watch the debates, took control of the remote, paused the DVR, and asked me what he meant. I explained to her what I thought he meant, including the part about making a flexible schedule. She said nothing afterwards. But now I'm hearing about it from the women in the office. I had no idea it was offensive to them.

How does your wife feel about the hostile for women workplace in the whitehouse?

Desperate reach is desperate, but a funny meme all the same. "Binders full of women" lol

I don't understand why any woman would ever vote Republican

Well, as always, we must have tit for tat


The White House Boys’ Club: President Obama Has a Woman Problem


‘War on Women’?: White House Found to Pay Women Less on Average Than Men


http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/white-house-book-hostile-politics-president-us-14550854

I become more confident every day of a Romney win. Post after post of seizing upon something completely insignificant in an attempt to make candidate Obama look better says a whole lot.

Obama avoids matters of substance and his minions do the same. When you have no record to run on, binders become very important.

It was a poor choice of words but really nothing more. I am not surprised to see it being pumped in the media, though, like they did with big bird.

well duh he is a politican. Until people get tired of of it and stop looking at the R or D after the name and hold them accountable for the lies nothing will change.


This story is idiotic. who cares about binders? it's understandable. It's not like he had binders of naked women (well i would understand that too..)

There was no "We". Romney didn't go to any groups to obtain this "Binder-full-o-women". He did not take initiative to create the binder. The binder was constructed independently, before Mitt was even Governor and without the intent to help Mitt. It was made for whoever was going to take office. He made it sound like it was his plan to do this. It was not.

Keep spinning!

I'm not spinning. Once again, the question:

How are those two statements mutually exclusive?

I bolded the lie.

He didn't go after anything. Romney was approached before he took office, and even considered his cabinet. It was part of the starting information he had to go by.

As you may recall he stated that he (paraphrasing) "looked around the room, and saw nothing but men, and thought--Gee, can't we do better than this? There has to be some qualified women, right guys?"

It seems likely that this never happened. He never requested candidates, or a binder--it was waiting for him, and created by a lobbying group ahead of his taking office.

Once again, how does anything in the linked article contradict what he said? Who did they quote that was there when he was putting together candidates for his cabinet? Do you think he didn't consider his cabinet until after he was elected?
