Why Should I Care About Ann Romney's Resume? [W:52]

She seems very decent to me, I think she is a fine lady


Ms Romney is more than likely a very nice lady.

IMO, Ms.Rosen thought she'd fire a salvo over the Romney camp and it fell back to earth on her. Now she's been hung out to dry by the DNC. All in this game called dirty politics.

Why is it "dirty politics" when Ms.Rosen, who has no formal connection with the White House, criticizes Ann Romney

BUT

not when Mitt Romney, and other members of the GOP, ridicule Michelle Obama for attempting to focus public attention on the issue of child obesity in America?

Are you ****ing kidding me? Just go to Youtube and type: "Fox Michelle Obama" and you'll find enough swill dished out by Fox News to fill a swimming pool.



Well...Michelle spoke...the media reacted...sounds fair to me.

What did Ann Romney say that should justify the attack she received?
 
I'm sure you were quite vocal in denouncing the attacks on Michelle Obama back in '07/'08, right?

"Quite vocal" where? It certainly wouldn't have been here.:mrgreen:

I would hardly say that she was attacked. Her husband brought her into the conversation by claiming that he relied on Ann about stuff like working mothers, and Rosen simply pointed out -- truthfully -- that Ann has never been a working mother. Not quite the same as claiming that she hates her country, or she's "bitter" or all the other nonsense that's been levied against Michelle.
 
Hmmm...

Can you give me examples of mainstream media figures making comments about Michelle? Before she became First Lady? I don't remember any...but then, I'm getting old.

Anyway, I see this liberal attack on Romney...through attacking his wife to be a pathetic tactic being used by the liberals...currently.

Do you excuse this action because something like it might have happened in the past?

Terrorist fist bump ...

I don't excuse either side. Is this an issue or liberals vs conservatives or media? You did a switcheroo there.
 
Perhaps you should have resisted taking a soundbite and applying some sort of unrelated meaning to it. Romney's remarks were in the context of enabling women who are living on welfare to become self-sustaining...with a little help from the government for day care...enabling them to get off the dole. It has nothing to do with who should be privileged enough to be a stay at home mom. This was a position championed by Clinton and a majority of Congress during his Presidency and, with the increase in the number of people dependent on government assistance lately, Romney's proposal would help reduce unemployment and government spending...something Obama has pretty much ignored.

Now, danarhea, I can understand you being someone who hates Romney...but, at least, do me the favor of resisting liberal debating tactics. It's beneath one who calls himself a conservative.

For someone who supports a candidate who has done more Liberal things than most Democrats have done, you are in no position to question my lean, nor that of anybody else.

You should probably avoid using You Tube videos as your source. It starts with Jane Hall of the American University School of Communication. Not a Fox News anchor, a guest and her comments here are poorly edited to make it look like she was attacking Obama, when in fact she was speaking about some of the attacks others were making and tactics she was seeing employed. Her stances on matter like this are quite well documented and easily located through just a Google search using Jane Hall of the American University. The rest of the pathetic video you posted are opinion commentators commenting on Mrs. Obama's public statements and stances, and none of it is very salacious either.

So there really is no comparison between criticism of Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Romney. Though I suspect you will try to argue there is, oh wait, you just did in post #30. Unsuccessfully.

Actually his membership here at DP entitles him to do just that. Besides that, the vets around here talk and even us newbies can read. When I joined you had yourself labeled as an independent, I am told that you have been posing as a conservative for years and I believe it. Because you posting history, from the topics you start and the comments you make, to the posters you chose to argue with, don't spell out anything approaching a "conservative" and I think it is all part of this constant trying to prank everyone thing I am told you and another poster do as a matter of routine.

I personally don't care about your political lean, I just go by what you actually post and say, if you are truly a conservative I'm the king of planet Earth.

If you support Romney, you are no Conservative. Candidates are not defined by the BS they shovel, but by what they actually have done.

That is funny. I know plenty of conservatives that will support Romney, but I'll be sure to tell them that a "questionable" conservative on the internet says otherwise.;)

This is something I have been agreeing with for some time, but I just found something out....

Romney has been defending his wife's wish to be a stay at home mom.... So far, no problem. But in January, he said this:





Apparently, it is OK for his wife to be a stay at home mom, but not OK for regular Americans. Now, as far as Ann Romney goes, this is not about her, and we shouldn't be jumping all over her for her decisions in life, which are just as valid as decisions made by any other American. But, apparently, Mitt Romney believes that the choice to be a stay at home mom is a privilege that should only be enjoyed by wives of billionaire elitist assholes like himself.

Oh yea, and Mitt wants the government to spend more money too. You sure he ain't really a Democrat billionaire elitist asshole? :mrgreen:




Chris Hayes has turned up the video of a speech made by Mitt Romney in New Hampshire this past January where he spoke of his efforts, while serving as governor of Massachusetts, to force all mothers receiving government aid to get out of the house and into the workforce—or lose their benefits.
Romney had a higher goal in mind —he wanted these stay-at-home mothers to know the ‘dignity of work‘.

Dignity of work for all women, except HIS wife....

As you will all note this does not come for a Liberal web site...au contraire

Mitt Romney Says 'Dignity Of Work' Only Available To Women In The Paid Workforce - Forbes
 
If you support Romney, you are no Conservative. Candidates are not defined by the BS they shovel, but by what they actually have done.

When the GOP primary was just getting started...conservatives on all the forums..were screaming NO RINOS....NO MORE MCSAMEs....ROMNY WILL NEVER GET THE NOMINATION....hes a rino...romnys a LIB....
NOw all of a sudden hes a conservative darling.....america rejected all the further to the right candidates

You want to look at a questionable conservative? Take a look in the mirror, bud. With your support of Romney, you are supporting his past support of Roe v. Wade, his nomination of Liberal judges, his development of Romneycare, which Obamacare was patterned after, and especially his signing of some of the most repressive gun control legislation in the history of Massachusetts.

I, on the other hand, support overturning Roe v. Wade (States should decide that question, not the Federal government), supported Bush's nomination of Supreme Court Justices, am against Obamacare, and support the 2nd Amendment.

So, you see, I have no problem with your questioning my lean. I pretty much ignore those kinds of attacks, especially when those attacks come from RINOs like yourself, whose actions reflect their own Liberal lean, when they support a candidate who, in actions, has been one of the most Liberal candidates to come down the pike in American history. Action talks and bull**** walks, Mr. RINO.
 
Why is it "dirty politics" when Ms.Rosen, who has no formal connection with the White House, criticizes Ann Romney

Now there you go again.


I didn't say it was okay to riducle Michelle Obama, as Ms. Rosen did to Ms. Romney.

But . . . . . I also don't think it's okay for some DNC strategist to say that because Ms. Romney, who has raised 5 sons, hasn't worked a day in her life.

Uh huh ... and Sean Hannity? And Bill O'Reilly? And about 20 other videos I could pull up if necessary?
 
Since you stated - "do not watch the news or read newspapers" - how did you choose your candiate? You're just sticking with the one you voted for in 2008?

Where'd you get your info on the candidates? How do you know what the issues are?

And again how'd you come up with the "bigot" theory on Romney?

I wasn't always so checked out. It'd been happening gradually, and when I sprained my back, I said "no more".

Sorry about your physical problems.


So how do you keep up with the issues. No newspaper. No TV/Cable. Do you use the web to keep current?

I have given up on the "Nightly News Whatevers"; to many personalities and not enough basic news. I do listen to local news and read the newspapers.
 
I wonder how much help she had around the house as well. I'm sure there had to be some kind of human assistance for her while she had her hair and nails done. This made her in home job a tad easier than for most stay at home moms. But you are correct Pinkie why the hell should we care anything about her?

Just as an FYI, poor and middle class women also have their hair and nails done. Check it out next time you're standing in a grocery store line. Somehow, lots and lots of women find the money for these beauty "necessities."
 
To answer your question: You shouldnt care...

Since I've never claimed to be a conservative nor have I ever expressed a single thought or post at DP about Romney, one wonders where you got the cacamamie idea I'm not only a Romney supporting conservative but a RINO. Fact is that when I joined here you were self labeled as an independent and have since switched to conservative. Your post all attack conservatives, your fellow DP vets and friends tell me you have been flip flopping about your stated lean for years, which coincidentally is the same length of time you have been posting like anything but a conservative. Walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, for years at a time? It is a duck. You want to call pointing out obvious facts and the things your long time peers here at DP say about you as attacking you? OK. Fine by me. Fact is that I responded to you asking another poster who they think they are to question your lean. Apparently many "conservative" vets at DP also question (some outright call it BS) your stated lean. Basically, any poster at this forum is welcome to do so. You might say posting as you do is an open invitation to have your lean questioned, maybe you do it so you can say people who do so are attacking you. Maybe you do it because you are said to always be trying to yank peoples chains and prank them. I don't know or care really, but when I see you getting your panties in a wad because someone noted the same thing many other posters here at DP have for years? I think it is exactly what you look for, part of your "game" at DP. If you are a conservative, I'm the King of Planet Earth, not a RINO.

Who gives a damn. Talk about my lean all you want to, but YOU are the one who is supporting a candidate who signed legislation to take our guns, which means that you don't have a damn clue as to what a Conservative is.

Oh no no no! :rofl:

Don't tell me you believe that news papers (which few people actually read these days) and mainstream 24/7 news dribble is the ONLY source for such information. :rofl (and heck - lets inclue their online websites while we're at it)

I'm very well informed - and don't engage in either: I do research - lots of it . . .and extensive amount of reading (books, journals, articles) - not affiliated with mainstream anythings. . . I engage in debate and discussion (fascinating stuff others can bring up in a debate).

The path to knowledge doesn't have to be defined by some faux journalists cleaving to a secret ideology defined by their ratings - er - I mean 'audience'

Sometimes I go to foreign news sources - it's surprising sometimes the vast variety of US news you get from places like Reuters and China Daily.

Who gives a damn? You of course, you were all bent out of shape that someone (well another someone to add to the list of many) questioned your lean. Frankly anyone who did not would probably have attention deficit disorder IMO. Meh, based on what I have seen of you I don't buy that you are a conservative. I not only questioned your lean but your "game". If you were or are really are a conservative it is bound to become obvious somewhere down the line, though of course up to now that does not seem to be the case since August 2005. What I notice now is that you don't address the fact that up until two months ago you were a "independent" and I'm told that flip flop has happened more than once. That is the case is it not, or would you like to argue that after years of being a member here you did not change your lean to independent and then back to conservative again? I'm told that was in direct reaction to you being called out as a fake conservative by a great many posters and one thread in particular, though I admit I was not made pirvy to that thread, I'd love to see it now though. Then two months ago, one day you went and switched your lean back to conservative. Coupled with the fact that you really only seem to have it in you to argue with conservatives, the fact that you can't seem to make up your mind about your stated lean, says a lot. About the "game" that is. Speaking of a stupid game, were you too busy un-bunching the wad in your panties to catch the clue that I've never identified as a conservative? Likewise I've never expressed a single opinion about Romney, so to borrow a famous quote, what is your major malfunction? The one that lead you to think I have identified as a conservative and Romney supporter?

So based on your complaints above, is it safe to say the candidate you will be supporting in the upcoming election will be Obama?

I can vouche for his conservativeness.

Ahh. Nice try, but I am not taking the bait. Onto the old ignore list you go.

NOTE: In my 15 years on internet forums, I have seen much better people than you attempt to bait me. In fact, your attempts to bait me here are pretty weak sauce. If you want to be successful at baiting people on the internet, then you are really going to have to step it up a few notches. Just trying to help you out here so that you don't flop so badly in your future baiting endeavors. Have a nice day...... And adios. LOL.
