“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT?”
As a guy I can’t begin to explain it; at least Bush spoke out against affirmative action. Romney seems to be proud of his role in it.
I think he should be proud, and it doesn’t, in my book, amount to affirmative action.
Were you listening to his preparatory remarks? He said he looked at the lists of names brought to him when he was setting up his administration and they were ALL male.
So he said “Go out and find me some talented women”, presumably to get some balance.
Doesn’t sound to me like numbers or race or sexual preference or anything else was the criteria.
Affirmative action MUST be defined in such a way that a lower-qualified applicant gets preferences over another applicant based SOLELY on race or sex or whatever other criteria...
