Ann Romney Never Worked a Day In Her Life.

Rosen is a troll using a stereotypical character assassination remark and Ann Romney was the guppy that took the bait. Here is more on this Rosen from her wiki page.

This page should be deleted sooner than later, this is the kind of garbage that gets put up on that site and wiki can't get out from under being an inadequate source to refer to.

Is it an insult to state a fact? She has never worked a day in her life. She married into money and has been a stay at home mom.

To be fair, do we know if she even raised the kids by herself w/o nannies or has she ever cleaned one of her homes?

We don't, but you've posted several posts in this thread which accuse of her having done any number of things we have no direct proof for. I find it ironic that you even made this post.
 
I think religion plays a huge role in her decision to not work. Every Mormon mother I have known is a sahm. The Mormon religion teaches that the role of mother is sacred and are encouraged to stay home if possible. Here is an excerpt from the LDS Proclamation on the Family:

The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation.

Could it be that Rosen is NOT the face of the Obama campaign and is simply a dumbass on her own?

Hey I didn't write the story but she was described as a "DNC strategist and CNN analyst". Sounds like she's on the team to me.

As to the "dumbass on her own" that's for you to decide, yes? But that could be how the Oval Office is describing her today.
 
What I find funny about it on the face of it is that it seems to smack in contradiction toward a great deal of early feminist literature, in which the women of the 19th and 20th centuries had to keep reminding the men and other esteemed profesisonals that their presence in the home was a lengthy and arduous job.
 
it sounds kinda crazy, like saying Pat Buchanan a RNC strategist and multi- media analyst speaks for Willard. Or perhaps Anne Coulture...

But not a job that gives insight into what working class women face financially if the stay at home mother is a multi-millionaire's wife. That is like saying Thurston Howe the third's wife is the typical castaway... :)

Oh, I see... you two are changing the subject and trying to derail the thread. As if hypocrisy = staying on topic. No, it doesn't.

This thread is about Ann Romney never working a day in her life and advising her husband about concerns of the average working family.

If you don't mind, I'll stay on topic.

If you want to start a thread about a Dem wife, feel free.

So to use your analogy -"This thread is about Ann Romney never working a day in her life and advising her husband about concerns of the average working family", then everyone can dismiss your point of view on the rich, yes?

So do you agree with this in today's world or is this an outdated square thing to do.

Do you think stay at home moms is a thing of the past and that has no place in today's world. Hell if I could have been home even more to unravel knots out of fishing lines I surly would have, even in today's world.

I think it is becoming more and more unlikely, something of a luxury at best. In the past, it was luxury for the middle class white woman and lower-middle class black women to be active in the community and political activism outside the home. On the other hand we also have a new ethos which stresses professionalism for both sexes, of which I am personally inclined.

And that's fine..there's nothing wrong with someone staying home to take care of the kids. I'm sure if more families could afford they would choose that route.....

But Rosen is right...if your indicator on what policies are important to women is based on things your wife said...she represents a very very very small sliver of what most women deal with. It's a fact. Just like Mitt Romney almost has no inkling of what most Americans go through daily or in life.

I always admired the single income family that landed in the middle, it is a good place to be and raise a family. It is sad that I do have to agree with you on that it has become a "luxury" slipping away from more and more folk that would actually love to do this for themselves but most have to rely on double incomes.

Those who are running for President have very rarely have the complete inkling of what most Americans do in daily life.
 
This election cycle will be pure joy. Class warfare, race warfare, sexism, attacking stay at home mothers, the 'war against women'...

Well...at least we dont have massive debt, unemployment, lingering terrorism, a war in Afghanistan, a continuing housing crisis, or anything important to talk about.

Well, personally, again, I prefer a woman who is going to be professionally-inclined rather than stay-at-home mother, but I am perfectly fine with both. There is something that is gained and lost with each preference. That is why I also do not register with this new form of class complaint coming from critics. What the classes have complained about has changed, is all. The complaint remains the same: they do not get us.

This is a great point. I sincerly doubt that very many politicians, or their wives have struggled through what most of us have.

If anything we have become much more democratic than we are letting ourselves believe. The rich and powerful retain riches and power, but the amount of "regular" people who have risen to moderate posts in government and organization has increased dramatically. Yet, it is as if the historical register is not there. People can flip the switch and rant against the rich being leaders, and then flip the switch once more and idolize numerous Presidents and their administrations from the past without seeing a difficulty.

I'm sorry but the Reagans/Obama's/Clintons are different than the Bush's and Romneys of the world. Yes almost all Presidents are pretty wealthy when they step into office but that's not the eqivilent of being born and raised in massive wealth.

I think pointing out that either Democrats or Republicans are hypocrites is pretty much like stating the obvious "The sun is bright".

Both sides have proven themselves to be hypocritical on certain issues and situations. So what is the point of you stating the obvious again?

Do you have any proof that the sun is bright? I demand links!

And yet many of our esteemed Presidents and party nominees came from such wealthy and/or governmentally-elite circles since childhood. You aren't exactly going to see many rant about the Roosevelts and the Kennedys, are you?
