(snip)
"Folks, the idea he needed to go and ask where a qualified woman was, he just should have come to my house," Biden told an audience in Greeley, Colo. "He didn't need a binder."
Biden invoked his daughter and granddaughters, as well as President Obama's two daughters, to say the two of them believed "to our core" that women are entitled to "every single, solitary opportunity; every single, solitary thing my sons are and my grandsons are, without exception."

"Look, talk about being out of touch. It's not just the Swiss bank accounts and the Cayman Islands," he said, referring to Romney's personal finances. "What I can't understand is how he has gotten into this sort of 1950s time warp in terms of women."

"That 47% and more should worry about Romney, because he doesn't have any idea who they are," said Biden, who debated last week with Romneys vice presidential nominee, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

"His answer: self-deportation. I don't know where he lives. I really mean it, I mean, I don't care what your position is on immigration. Self-deportation?" Biden said to laughs. "Whoa! Every 13-year-old get up and move, man!"

Biden added: "What I can't understand is how he has gotten in this sort of 1950s time warp in terms of women," also referring to the Republican nominee's plans to defund Planned Parenthood.
Not intent to stop there, Biden also went after a comment made by a Romney adviser after the debate.
"His senior adviser said last night, in they call it the spin room
when they're asked about did Romney support The Lilly Ledbetter (Fair Pay Act), which is just basic, minimal justice, he said, Romney would have vetoed it."
(that was my answer to a right winger at work. I was born in the 50's and I'm NOT going back there. We've come too far to have it all taken away)
