When Gov. Romney Talked About there being "Too Many Men" in his Potential Mass. Cabinet (Vanity)

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.

McCain reached down below politicians with more experience, because he saw an unexploited talent. Romney did much the same thing. In business you might not do this, because the competition is so fierce, but in politics, you want a staff that is more representative. What you need is someone who is competent who fits your needs.

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
