I want to preface by saying I am voting for Mitt Romney and I thought the debate moderated by Candy Crowley was horrendously bad. I think she was even worst than Martha Raddatz, if that was possible.
But one statement Romney said that bothered me during the debate. A feminazi asked a loaded question about how men make more than women (a falsehood for the most part).
Gov. Romney said that when he first became Governor, he looked at a stack of potential cabinet members and complained that they were all men. He then directed his chief of staff to find more women.
If I was a potential cabinet member, who campaigned for you, supported and donated to your campaign, and was QUALIFIED to do the job I applied for, and my resume was sent to the circular file because I was a man, I would be fuming!
Romney, I understand, was only trying to aticulate he would be fair to women as president, as he was trying to downplay a fake "war on women," but I found the treatment of those potential cabinet members unfair because their gender should not have mattered. Finding a good cabinet should not be an affirmative action game.
NO!!!
Not an all women cabinet, but if they are qualified they are considered equally as a candidate for the positionng
I have been a victim of EEOC related regulations in my past and I am FIRMLY against anything like that!
That is all
