Binders full of women! Twitter users started making fun of a random phrase because it sounded funny, so people took a closer look at it. It turned out to be a lie. What were the odds? We’re talking about Mitt Romney—the odds were 100 percent. Mitt didn’t ask for the binders full of women, as he stated in the debate. They were created by a bipartisan women’s group and presented to him. All he did was to accept them from the women—and probably roll his eyes a little when they weren’t looking. We know that Mitt doesn’t like to have any women telling him how to do things. Just look at how he treated Candy Crowley. For Mitt, a woman’s place is in the stables. His wife can fill her spare time riding her dancing horse—and the working class woman can clean the stables.
When Mitt ran for Senate in 1994, his excuse about the lack of women at Bain Capital was that the private equity profession “doesn’t attract many women and minorities.” Hey, if it’s full of guys like you, I can see why. No women or minorities want to enter private equity? It’s a profession where people with no discernible skill get obscenely rich. EVERYBODY wants a job like that, For Mitt, a woman’s place is in the stables. His wife can fill her spare time riding her dancing horse—and the working class woman can clean the stables.
Super-rich CEO’s are threatening their employees with losing their jobs if Mitt Romney isn’t elected president. Romney himself has even encouraged the behavior. Hey, at least if they get fired, they’ll have health insurance if Obama is president. Several CEO’s have sent out messages to all their employees telling them that they will lose their jobs if Obama is reelected. Evidently their businesses can handle four years of Obama during a huge economic crisis, but not four years of recovery and growth. My advice to these employees is vote for Obama. He’s going to win anyway, and you don’t want to lose your job AND know you voted for a sleazebag like Mitt Romney.
Tagg Romney wants to tag President Obama. Romney’s son Tagg said he wanted to “take a swing” at the President during the debate. Hey, Tagg could have taken a swing at Obama from his seat in the back and still not missed by as much as his dad missed Obama with that wild swing about the Rose Garden statement.
