3. Oh, that?

I thought maybe it was the whole 'gun control? Get married.' Thing.

Poor single moms with their kids running around wielding AK-47's. That's what's wrong with the country!

What a freaking idiot! He was so completely lost tonight. It was a either a train wreck, or a thing of beauty. Depending on your political affiliation.

5. You might want to rethink your outrage. It was WOMEN who compiled the binder.

Romney did not take the initiative but rather it was, a group of women, recognizing the lack of women in government positions, who compiled the binder.

7. I don't think they gave him the binder full of actual women, did they?

LOL.

9. Yes...

What actually happened was that in 2002—prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it would be a Republican or Democratic administration—a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor.

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 have written about this before, in various contexts; tonight I’ve checked with several people directly involved in the MassGAP effort who confirm that this history as I’ve just presented it is correct—and that Romney’s claim tonight, that he asked for such a study, is false.

12. I am pretty sure that there weren't live women stuck in a binder.

LOL.

[Luminous Animal]

13. Ah. Getting it now... Doh!

And I made a joke along those lines earlier:

"She is, after all, just a woman in a binder full of women who need to cook dinner."

[suffragette]

14. Romney just piles lie on top of lie

The binders full of his lies would stretch to the moon and back.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

8. Before he was ever elected.

He had nothing to do with it. He. Is. A. Liar. That is the truth of it.

[Luminous Animal]

10. Exactly.

[Retrograde]

15. For me, it was the "elect me and the economy will be so good

that employers will hire women!". Not that I'd vote I'd ever vote for him anyway.

[JDPriestly]

16. Like Romney had to search and search to find a woman good enough to serve in his

administration.

No thanks. Mr. Romney. We want a president who recognizes the worth in women without needing a binder of resumes, faces and names.
