+ 1 YJ

... though I do want to see you flip out

Im thinking of saying it just to see you have a spazz attack.....

My bad bro. I'd rather use Big Bird anyway.

+1 YJ! And bad bo_sox! Next thing you know, you will bring up capital gains versus income tax.

You must have been raised by only 1 parent to have so many violent tendencies ;)

I'm not a political debater. Philosophy and emotion take much higher precedence than pieces of paper that the bankers say are worth something.

+1 jmo, lol...

YES! The answer to gun violence on the streets is more marriage!
"Does that mean gays can marry now and be equal?"
NO!
"...But it'll lessen--"
NO! Marriage is between a husband and wife...and second wife...and third wife...and fourth...and, well, soon you may have binders full of wives, but gay marriage is just a step too far!

;)

+1 OBI *claps*

@Obitard - You do know the Mormon/LDS church no longer supports polygamy right?

The whole answer was pretty bad. That line may not have been...it was just bad phrasing.

It just seems that everybody is overlooking the fact that he was trying to point out he won an award for appointing more women to the council and we're all just focused on a minor *derp* in how he said it.

I hate the circus.

Oh, but the talking fucktard clowns are so much fun to watch spinning away and trying to make their guy look smart when his record speaks for itself.

From what I read, he appointed lesd.

NO GODDAMIT DRAUG. Both sides do and say ridiculous fucking shit about the other. The left is absolutely not having a monopoly on this.

It just seems that everybody is overlooking the fact that he *lied* about going out of his way to appoint women. He left office with less women in his admin than his predecessor. And Mass Gap was a bipartisan group that purposely sought him out to give him the binders.

Why are people falling for this thug's lies? All he does is lie. If he isn't lying, he isn't talking.

YJ. I thought you were smarter than this. Romney lied about his record in Massachussets. He lied through his fucking teeth. Get this through your heads people. He did not go out of his way to appoint women. Mass Gap gave him and his opponent the binders. He didn't give a shit about women. And his answer was a gaffe because he *refuses to answer the question about equal pay for equal work*. Why is the media giving this asshole a pass?

Thanks for the fact checking Putin, I was wondering whether it was a true statement Mitt was making. What about the award though? Did he get one?

The real misogynist comment was that shit about having flexible schedules to cook dinner.

Nope Putty I fully admit I don't take enough responsibility on myself to fact check. It's a sad truth :(

Did I say they didn't. I said his record. Which his I referred ot is up to the reader to decide. Romney doesn't exactly have a perfect record either. He tries to dodge the whole "my company was a corporate raider" reality.

The thug is now telling his big business buddies to force their employees touniversities? vote for him or risk losing their jobs. And you rightwingers whine about unions and professors?

And putin hits on the real problems...

This is rightwing "democracy", in a nut shell.

Doesn't sound too bad, really. If this is the worst the Huff can do with the statement I'd still chalk it up as a plus for Romney. They don't even bother to mention this award (seriously, did he get one or not?). I'm not saying I like him or I'll vote for him - I'm just saying it looks to me like he made an effort here.

You obviously didn't read the article. He didn't make an effort. He didn't even meet with Mass Gap. He appointed women to low level positions and then didn't retain them so that by the end of his term, he had less appointees than his predecessor. You're just going out of your way to be contrarian here. A few token appointments doesn't absolve him from having one of the worst misogynists in all of Congress as his VP choice and for opposing equal pay for equal work.

YJ, do you give a shit if people answer questions? Or does refusing to answer the Ledbetter question just fine with you? If Palin got crap for never bothering to answer questions, why isn't Romney? How is this a net plus? The guy is the laughing stock of the internet. He's a disgrace. The only reason this race is competitive is because he has a long line of billionaires threatening people with their jobs if they don't vote the right way.

"Hardy-Fanta challenges the validity of the 2004 SUNY Albany survey Romney cited on Tuesday, which he said, “concluded that mine had more women in senior leadership positions than any other state in America.” She explained that the results were likely skewed because each governor was allowed to decide how far down the employment ranks they could count female hires. “For instance, [Romney] included the assistant to deputy press secretary as a position in his inner circle,” she said. “Because they didn't specify what types of positions were uniform across states, it was pretty easy to move pretty far down the rank and find more women at the lower levels.”

Moreover, Romney’s appointments of women to top-level positions began to taper off after his first two years in office. "Prior to the 2002 election, women comprised approximately 30 percent of appointed senior-level positions in Massachusetts government," MassGAP said in a statement on Wednesday. "By 2004, 42 percent of the new appointments made by the Romney administration were women. Subsequently, however, from 2004-2006 the percentage of newly-appointed women in these senior appointed positions dropped to 25 percent.""

I DID read the article - it should be no surprise to you that I have a bit more centrist feeling after doing so.

It also sounds like you may be misinterpreting it. the last paragraph says only 25% of NEW appointments were women, down from 42% of a year earlier, but it doesn't say anything about there being fewer OVERALL than when he started. Did I miss that or was it from a different source?

I'm really not trying to be contrarian, It's just been my experience that Huff is the left's equivalent of fox news and if they have an opportunity to phrase something so it sounds worse than it is they will do so.
