So the big issue for Democrats: binders full of women. They’ve clung to a number of distractions so far, but this is probably the least coherent. When I heard Romney use the phrase “binders full of women,” I immediately made fun of it because it was so inartful. But the Democrats contention now is that its actually offensive somehow. How… they can’t really explain. They seem to act like Romney wants to physically put women in binders… but even they know that doesn’t really make any sense. So it’s somehow offensive Romney was looking at resumes of women… because its pandering? So the party who treats women like vaginas that vote and need nothing more than some free birth control thrown at them are offending by pandering?
Anyway, have you seen the recent Gallup poll? Romney is up by 6. They are desperate. They don’t have time to be coherent. They just have to attack and attack and hope that it makes sense to someone somewhere. The 47% things was a bust. Big Bird just made them look silly. I don’t know why they think a focus on binders is going to work better for them… but no time to think! Act offended and yell and stuff!
What’s the alternative? Talk about Obama’s record over the past four years? If they even mention a serious issue like jobs, they risk just making people think of how useless Obama has been on that throughout his presidency. So binders. Big Bird. Seamus. Something about Paul Ryan washing a dish. If they were more inventive, they’d turn their random, wacky attacks on Romney into some sort of variety show.
Hey jobless claims shot up — unexpectedly! They better get more binder costumes out there and fast.
We only got a few more weeks left and it doesn’t seem it can get much dumber, but I guarantee you that if polls keep going Romney’s way we’ll look back on this binder issue as one of their intellectual high points.
“What’s the alternative? ” I’m guessing more violent Occupy rallies.
And the Libya kerfuffle from the debate died off once people realized that Candy continued talking after the applause….
Binders? It is more humane to keep them in pens.
@3 – …and the pen should only be 72% as big as the pen the men are in….
I especially like how this is going to backfire. Undecided voters will be like “Binders of women? That makes no sense. Can I see the context?” And then BAM! They’re reading about Mitt actively recruiting women because only men applied. That story never would have been repeated by the media, but now word will get out.
I know the real reason our enlightened friends are angry about the ‘binders’ comment. They know the truth: Mitt Romney drives the Hate Tank in the War on Women… and crushes them flat and then stores them in binders so he can gloat over his every victory in his femocidal war.
Or maybe they’re all just a bunch of maroons who have never gotten a job, or hired someone, so they don’t understand the concept of binders and resumes.
Hey, you women! Send me your binders. I need binders full of women.
Never mind. Just come on over.
Answer: Bind him and gag him.
Question: What was the best campaign strategy to get Obama reelected but is now too late to implement.
binders=burkas

I wish someone would draw a political cartoon of Obama stacking binders with Big Bird on the cover as a wall around the Benghazi consulate. Somebody with artistic talent get on that at once.
Vice President Joe Biden, at a campaign stop in Greeley, Colo., said: “When Governor Romney was asked a direct question about equal pay, he started talking about binders. Whoa. The idea that he had to go and ask where a qualified woman was, he just should have come to my house. He didn’t need a binder.”
So Joe has them held hostage in a pit in his basement?
DummyCraps have always had problems with women. Look at Clinton or any of the Kennedys.
