A voter asked: In today's economy why are women still paid less than men for the same work/job and what will you do to help change that?
The question was about how the candidate would improve work equality, and Romney said when he became governor, he turned away the men that were presented for his cabinet, and asked his staff to find qualified women, who then turned up "binders full of women"
Yeah really, "autotune the news" used to take weeks.
They really seemed to lose a lot of momentum once they started looking at putting their work on media networks and skipping the internet. I'm glad to see they're doing a bit more again, but I wish they'd restart autotune the news. I really think they could have millions of regular viewers if they produced a monthly or weekly autotune the news show, and they'd get quite a chunk of ad revenue from it.
Thank you Gents. Any ideas as to why this particular asinine sound-bite got so widely distributed? Or is that more a question of meme creation than politics?
Even I don't get that.
Well, if his point was that in order to raise better citizens then bettera better home life isn't really a terrible answer, even if it is only part of the answer. In fact, I would bet that Obama would agree with the basic premise (how can you not?). However, the problem is, once again, Romney says things awkwardly and in ways that seem designed to offend people.
Because he's reading from a mental script he was taught, not because it is his actual idea/opinion.
It sounded like his answer was meant to not piss off his nra base, and then deflect by throwing out one of his sound bites of how family is good.
You mean besides the fact that "binders full of women" sounds like something Buffalo Bill would say?
Haven't you heard? Fact-checking transcripts is just another form of liberal bias...
If he can't speak in a debate without offending people, how will he handle the rest of the world leaders? He came of as saying a big portion of the gun violence comes from single parents. Look at the big shootings in Aurora and Ft Hood, hell even Kazynski. Did they come from single parent families?
Obviously I'm not defending the comment, just saying I think I know what he was trying to say, which was something most of us would agree with. This has been a constant problem for Romney, his foot lives in his mouth.
I know. My main point was that a president needs to be able to communicate properly. If he honestly can't express himself good enough so that the American people understand what he means, how will he fare with non-english speaking people. Maybe it's because he's trying to pander to the base, and doesn't necessarily believe everything he's saying. I don't know, but from what I've seen most of his presidency would be dedicated to apologizing and trying to explain what he means after others have told him what he should have said.
Wouldn't it be great to cut that number down by allowing a certain group of people to get married?
Are you saying single parent mothers will spontaneously become lesbians... without 5 shots of tequila?
Yes, that's exactly it.
don't forget and true.
I've personally seen otherwise, so I dunno what to tell ya brosef.
