So you think the binder thing is not a stupid childish joke told by those that understand what he was saying but chose to ignore it anyways because it could possibly score some political points?

Shhh. It's all they got left.

What's almost as bad is hearing a montage of journalists trying to run with it and say it shows Romney is sexist.

What I think is pathetic is the left trying to make it sound as if abortion and free birth control is the biggest issue facing women on a daily basis.  I think it's a sexist notion to suggest women alone are responsible for contraception in the first place.

I noticed that too. Apparently perceived sexism is far more dangerous to society than actual sexism.

The biggest issue for women & men is jobs and income. That seems to be something the president would rather avoid, therefore giving something for nothing is what he has to work with, and since his campaign has been hemorrhaging women voters, his focus is naturally focused on free stuff.

The talk about binders may send a thrill up the leg of the more ignorant and childish among Obama's supporters, but it's hard to believe it will sway anyone to vote for him.  To the extent it does, such votes will probably be outweighed by potential voters driven away by the focus on insignificant non-issues and avoidance of the real issues.

You guys don't think the Dems are taking the binder comment as a joke and the GOP is the party over reacting to the whole thing?

Come on guys... for a majority of us, it is just a little humor in a situation where the humor is hard to find.  I am not sure why everything has to be so damn serious all the time.  Just because life gives you lemons doesn't mean you have to squirt them in your eyes.

OK, so I had to click on your link because I had no idea who Mika is.  Is that link to MSNBC's version of Fox morning show?  Is she their Gretchen?

If so, people need to switch to something else.

Not trying to be critical of MSNBC (because FOX has it's fair share of nit wits), but Mika has got to be the most brainless political pundit out there. If her old man wasn't anybody, she'd be working at Macy's like she ought to be.

Now I'm a sexist right?

After listening to this chick argue with Chris Wallace a few weeks ago, Mika would have to work very hard to sound more brainless.

The most apt description I have ever heard about Mika is that she is the resident Newspaper reader. And if you would ever watch the show, you would understand perfectly. Usually the only comments she has are lifted directly from the days paper held directly in front of her face as she reads it while the screan is plastered with a screenshot of said article.
