Here's what the actual group had to say, nice shitty blog you have there:

TLDR: It wasn't Romney's initiative, he lied.
Following the election, MassGAP formed committees for each cabinet post in the administration and began the process of recruiting, interviewing, and vetting women applicants. Those committees selected top applicants for each position and presented this information to the administration for follow-up interviews and consideration for appointment.
They did the research and put together the binder full of women qualified for all the different cabinet positions, agency heads, and authorities and commissions. They presented this binder to Governor Romney when he was elected.
I don't understand why any woman would ever vote Republican
Romney was the guy that actually hired them. You are a lying piece of garbage aren't you.
Oh look! A squirrel! Pay no attention to the economy! Pay no attention to the Debt! Meanwhile, Obama pays the women on his staff less than the men on his staff. Which is exactly what the debate question was about. Women making less then men. But hey, that damn Romney! He has a binder full of women!
I looked at those articles.
How to lie with fake statistics.
Take all women and men regardless of position and use their median income as the mark for fair wage.
Shenanigans
I don't see the issue with that particular remark. I didn't think it was offensive when I listened to it in real time, and I don't find it offensive now upon reflection.
So it was computed the same way the women making 77% of what men make statistic?
so that's how Mormons find their wives
also..

Once again, how does that contradict what he said?
Was the "binders full of women" comment offensive? No. Is it funny when taken literally? Kind of, funny enough for an Internet meme.
Instead, what was offensive, was romneys inability to answer a simple question, what will he do about equal pay for women? He didn't address the question and he made up a story that was unrelated to the question.
How do you answer a question premised on a lie?
You might as well ask him what he will do about the midwest unicorn problem.
The amount of double think required by liberals to believe that corporations only care about their profits and yet will continue to hire men at 133% the rate of women is ridiculous
EDIT: The correct answer would be to point out that Obama pays the men on his staff more than women (as was pointed out above). Doesn't seem like someone I would trust on equal pay to me.
If obama, then claimed the reasonable explanation for that. Then Romney could point out that the 77% stat is arrived at the same way. And the he, Romney, would work to improve the pay for all American's instead of divisively pandering to one group over another.
It's a very tight race and neither side has made significant missteps lately. Therefore anything someone imagines might be spun to be offensive will be shouted as if the candidate had said something like "I like to eat baked children, because they are more tender than adults."I don't see the issue with that particular remark.
