ALL OF THEM ...either they're silent or they agree that the binder thing does NOT matter to women and it's NOT important..
Halipren is a silly bastard..
Saying that rMoney got his facts wrong KNOWING that he out and out lied! Then says this matter (equal pay) doesn't matter to women and the Joe points to stupid SCIENTIFICALLY WRONG NATIONAL (not swing state) Gallup polls and a MSNBC focus group
I'm not JUST talkin about Joe...he's already a bastard but the other 5 people sittin AROUND him are either silent or in agreement that the Lilly Ledbetter act doesn't matter...equal pay doesn't matter.

(223 posts)That it was a lie how romney mid-represented him 'asking' for the binders. And the fact that all the men at the table thought it was no big deal IS PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!!! They think it's okay. It's NOT okay.

(25,415 posts)When I watch Joe Scar I know full well that he is still a conservative as is Mark Halperin and some of the other guys that come on that show. That they are more tolerable then the idiots on Faux and that they admit (at times) when Romney does something stupid does not make them our friends. Remember that.

(11,243 posts)My vote was in the tank for Obama. It was a given. But the misogynistic bullshit that has been going on with the Republican party is really making me angry. Really angry. And when I get angry, I get active. It is driving me to volunteer more, donate more and just generally putting my enthusiasm level for Obama and most Dems about five points higher than it would have been. Because they seem willing to stand up for me, my daughter and our basic human rights.
The binder thing matters. It is funny but also symbolic of how Romney views women. Lilly Ledbetter matters. My right to chose and use contraception matters. Hopefully we stun them at the ballot box and they will see how much.

(1,575 posts)With all that we know about Robme, why would anyone (women especially) want to vote for him. I work in Virginia (at the Washington Beltway) and the women I work with would not vote for him. Are the others brain dead? Why would anyone vote for him? He's an empty suit and his debate performance showed it.

(11,243 posts)I posted something along these lines on my Facebook page and he responded with some bullshit rightwing propaganda article about how Obama was secretly sexist. And I Let. Him. Have. It. Obama passed Lilly Ledbetter. Obama does not secretly (or not so secretly) wish to symbolically rape me or my daughter if we decide to exercise our right to an abortion. If my daughter or I was raped, Obama would not force us to prove that it was "legitimate". Obama is finally finally finally making it possible for women to obtain birth control at a reasonable price (I can't tell you how much that would have meant to me in my 20's).
I am seething angry at conservatives on this issue right now. And if I am, many others are too. They are stupid to just blow us off like that.

(1,575 posts)They are the "me, me, me" party. If it isn't about them, then it really doesn't matter. We people (remember Ann Romney's "You poeple" line?) are not insignificant. We really are a majority and can turn an election if we all care enough to vote. Romney definitely would not be good for women, which would mean he is not good for the country.

(3,526 posts)...Democratic Party because they believe they are less enthusiastic and less motivated than Republican Likely Voters. There is also some question as to who, when, and where the pollsters are calling.
Additionally, I find it VERY difficult to believe women and Latinos have drawn even in some polls. There is too much at stake for that to happen.
