ROMNEY GAFFE #2: Epic Fail on women

"Gosh, can't we find qualified women for the cabinet?" Means you had NO WOMEN in the upper echelons of your campaign.

"If you're going to have women in the workforce..." WHAT THE FUCK???

"They'll be so anxious to get good workers, they'll be anxious to hire women." So if the economy was better, they wouldn't hire women, but they'll settle now for hiring women because things suck???

Fail.

That's probably because they eliminate the women who are too smart for them.

Even if you do manage to find qualified women, they won't want to work late because they'll want to be home with their children.

"Under me (Romney), the economy will improve so much that employers will be desperate for workers, so they will scrape the bottom of the barrel and hire women."
