Yes, Mitt Romney Lied About His “Binder of Women” Comment Too

Andrew Sullivan did some digging and guess what he found – Mitt Romney Lied!

No news here, because lying is now synonymous with Mitt Romney. This particular lie came in the second debate with Romney trying to pander for the women’s vote. In an attempt to show that he hired women in his administration when he was governor of Massachusetts, Romney claimed that he went looking for qualified female candidates and was given “binders of women” to choose from.

And now the truth about Romney’s binders.

What actually happened was that in 2002 — prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it would be a Republican or Democratic administration — a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor. They did the research and put together the binder full of women qualified for all the different cabinet positions, agency heads, and authorities and commissions. They presented this binder to Governor Romney when he was elected.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
