Ann Romney Never Worked a Day In Her Life.

Not trying to pick on you - but I hate that sentiment: that it's all a matter of chance - that if I wasn't born ot my parents I would have just been born to someone else's parents. That's not how creating children works. We're not floating in the stratosphere waiting for hte stork to send us off.

It's impossible to be born into someone's else family.

You are the product of your parents, their seeds, and their upbringing.

the government has no legitimate function in trying to even that sort of "luck" out. taxes are not designed to punish those with good looks, good genes or good parents in order to make those with bad luck feel better. But if you read this board, you will see hundreds of posts from losers or wannabee winners who think the purpose of taxes is to even life up
 
and insider trading after that. Joe Kennedy was a master of using his government connections to get insider information.

another big dem-one of the most socialist in history (he was head of the socialist National Lawyers guild) was HOward Metzenscum of Ohio. He got tips where the federal government was going to establish an international airport in NW Ohio. Metzenscum bought up land in the vicinity. SOme of the land he used for APCOA-Airport Parking Company of America-the rest he sold for huge profits when the value of the land skyrocketed after the airport location was determined.

insider information through government offices at its best


Hey, wasn't Joe Kennedy Sr also "called back" from his post as Ambass to UK because the gov't thought he was a Nazi sympathizer? Or am I wrong?
 
Apparently you're right. The White House only made and hung the banner. But other than that...

Bush's 'Bannergate' Shuffle -- Printout -- TIME

"White House had to amend its account. The soldiers hadn't put up the sign; the White House had done the hoisting. It had also produced the banner — contrary to what senior White House officials had said for months. In the end, the White House conceded on those details, but declared them mere quibbles."


Great article on all this stuff that happened 8 years.

I wonder when someone would find Bush quilty of the Demo lady's comments about Ann Romney. :mrgreen:
 
... I'm just not going far enough to throw out everything that the administration of Washington & Jefferson accomplished because of it. Unless your intention was to spite Josie for mentioning Washington, thinking that she thought there was nothing of question under him.

And, what were some of George Washington's Major Accomplishments:

- 1754, Washington, loses a battle against the French, at Fort Duquesne.

- 1754, Washington, becomes a folk hero to the people of Monongahela.

- 1774, Washington, Chairs the meeting of the Fairfax Resolves document.

- 1775 through 1783, Washington scores a victory against Great Britain.

- 1789, Washington, becomes first President of the United States of America.

- 1793, Washington, issues a Neutrality Proclamation, where he takes the moral high-ground on non-interference in foreign nations.

- 1795, Washington, signs Jay Treaty with Great Britain.


So, there you have it. Seven (7) major accomplishments from 1754 to 1795. In all, Washing loses a fight, wins a much bigger fight, becomes a folk hero, chairs an important meeting, becomes the first President, proclaims the need for not getting involved in the affairs of foreign countries and signs a peace accord with the Red Coats.

All this morality playing out in the life of George Washington, and not once did he consider the utter hypocrisy of his ownership of other Human Beings - Human Beings who were actual Americans, just like himself and the rest of his family.

And, you don't see the glaring hypocrisy embedded in all of that drama? I am NOT an apologist for immoral and disgraceful behavior. Maybe you have no problem excusing it, but I cannot in good faith and good conscious, lower my integrity into the gutter, just so that I can feel good about an American Patriarch and hold on to my absolute need for nostalgia, in spite of the fact that my internal moral compass tells me that something was VERY WRONG with the period and the people, who lived, benefited and thrived on the backs of the life blood (literally) of other decent Human Beings.

So, let's just agree to completely disagree about the true nature and value of Mr. George Washington.


As for Jefferson? He was far worse. He actually had his Slaves working for him in the White House, and never once brought himself to read the Declaration of Independence, in light of his own selected lifestyle. These men did not have to own Slaves. The could have done what Nancy Reagan, did and just "Said No." But, they said, Yes. Yes, to being a total hypocrite. Yes, to being a total walking and talking contradiction. Yes, to sticking their finger up in the air, not just at the Africans they were killing and demoralizing with their Institution of Slavery, but to the political winds that blew - instead of holding fast the great moral ideals that they themselves helped to etch into the documents that were intended to set our country apart from the oppressive tyranny of the Kings and Queens of England!

The hypocrisy of this nation, was NEVER stronger than during the life and times of both Washington and Jefferson.



...
Why do I have the feeling I am going down an all too familiar path with you once you mentioned Northwoods and "Pearl Harbor" PNAC references?

Maybe you should read your own post, as much of what you wrote was extremely vague and wide open for a number of different interpretations.

what Romney's wife does is her choice.

however, their luxurious lifestyle just goes to show how far out of step they are with the rest of the American people, and how they have no right in any way to claim to have any connection with average Americans.

The Romneys are like the Republicans of the 80s and 70s. Rich, clueless, and detached from normal society.

Nobody who's reared five sons is out of touch with reality. :lamo

Its not surprising a main cog in the New Deal was a Fascist sympathizer. FDR and Hitler had many more similarities than FDR's left wing lovers would care to admit
 
Man, you sound like me. I've worked my bee-hind off and am looking forward.

I've saved. I've bought want I needed and not so much of the "what I wanted". I bought my 1st house and my mom-in-law stated: "you can't possibly live in this place!" We both decided yes we could because "this place" was what we could afford.

We've invested well, lost have of our stocks when it crashed, but had other savings, property, investments, etc. I designed, built and own my current home free and clear. But it took watching every nickel and dime.


So to keep to the thread, Romney's wealth or Ms Romney being a stay and home wife, doesn't bother me at all. I have sufficient. I just want the leadership to stop with the spending of money we don't have.

you want to take out all the fun of politics? damn, man.....
 
He said nothing even close to that. He is talking about their wealth.

Wealth that was made through honest work in the private sector, creating more wealth than he consumed. A maker. I'll take a maker's version of reality over that of a taker any day.
 
As it turns out, this Fox News talking point is a lie. She's not an advisory for Obama or the DNC.

Surprised?

Foxnews not telling the truth :shock::eek::shocked2:

No, I am not surprised, and I am not surprised that the republican faithful fall all over Hilary Rosen and attack Obama. Republicans have the problem that they view (totally without any good reason) as fair and balanced which it isn't. Foxnews is only viewed trustworthy by conservatives and because of that they get a totally skewed view on reality that is driven by republican politics and hatred of anything liberal or democratic.
 
She is a Democratic Strategist, right? She was on the Anderson Cooper show as a political analyst, yes? You know the old "if it walks like a duck". And that is what the general public will know, yes?

Democratic strategist? In which universe do you live? The Foxnews is really fair and balanced Universe? She might be a democratic pundit but as she does not work from what I have read for the democratic party as someone who sets out their strategies for elections etc. it is stupid and deceitful to say that she is a democratic strategist.

And only republicans/conservatives will see any truth in this because they are the only ones who actually only trust Foxnews where the rest of the US knows that almost anything coming from Foxnews is extremely untrustworthy and highly partisan/imbalanced/unfair.

Who is Hilary Rosen --the Democratic strategist who said Ann Romney
"Top Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen"

How many sources would you like me to show you indicating Rosen as a Democratic strategist before you give up the "faux news" tactic?

The thread is about Ms. Rosen's comment made on CNN (take time to read it will you) about Ms. Romney. Not Fox News. Try to keep up okay? :mrgreen:
 
Was John Kerry an "out of touch rich guy" back in 2004? I dont remember the complaints from the left about his extraordinary wealth back then.

I am not sure John Kerry has ever been as out of touch as Romney is out of touch with all of reality.

I am keeping up because it is Foxnews that is running this dis-information campaign/lying campaign against Hilary Rosen and her comments and then blaming Obama for these opinions. Try and keep up, okay?

I think the only person more out of touch than Kerry is Biden.

Really?

Hilary Rosen, Democratic Strategist, Criticizes Ann Romney For Having 'Never Worked A Day In Her Life'
"Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen stirred controversy Wednesday evening when she criticized Ann Romney for having "never worked a day in her life."

Is huffpost lying too?

Well I was out looking trying to find out about Joe Kennedy and did find some really interesting info.

Joe Kennedy, Sr., made a goodly amount of his money in the 1920s thru speculation and some "insider trading and market manipulation". Seems he was in the top 10 who did make money during the depression. And unlike others Joe Kennedy Sr. knew to get out before the stock market crashed. Old Joe put his money in real estate, liquor, and movie studios, "generating gaudy profits and cementing his family's place in the highest financial echelon of American society".

Smack of Bernie Maddoff don't you think? Along with greed.

Now I don't think Ms. Romney, a work at home mother, got her money using these tactics.
 
He said nothing even close to that. He is talking about their wealth.

Thunder said (Post #361): "...their luxurious lifestyle just goes to show how far out of step they are with the rest of the American people, and how they have no right in any way to claim to have any connection with average Americans.

The Romneys are like the Republicans of the 80s and 70s. Rich, clueless, and detached from normal society."

No right to claim to have any connection with average Americans? Rich and detached from normal society?

Again, I say that anybody who's reared five sons does have connections with average Americans and is not detached from normal society. Unless, of course, those sons never went to school (or church), never played sports, and never were Scouts.
 
Rosen is a Deocratic Strategist and Advisor to Debbie Wasserman Schultz......

A Democratic consultant with ties to the Obama administration sneering that Ann Romney “never worked a day in her life” is an opportunity for the [COLOR=#216221 !important][COLOR=#216221 !important]Romney [COLOR=#216221 !important]campaign[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], but a small problem in the big picture. In the big picture, women who are unable to find work in Obama’s economy are a bigger one.

Having said that, White House visitor logs indicate that “Hilary Rosen” visited [COLOR=#216221 !important][COLOR=#216221 !important]the [COLOR=#216221 !important]White [/COLOR][COLOR=#216221 !important]House[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] 35 times.

Rosen Advised The Obama White House On Messaging During The Obamacare Debates. “Demonstrating the political element of the health care debate, the records show that senior adviser Axelrod held what was described as a ‘communications message meeting’ on March 13 with 18 people, including prominent Democratic strategists Brad Woodhouse, the party’s communications director, and his predecessor Karen Finney; Steve McMahon, a campaign veteran and media strategist; Hilary Rosen, the former top lobbyist for the music industry; Jennifer Palmieri of the liberal Center for American Progress, John Edwards’ former press secretary and a veteran of the Clinton White House; Maria Cardona, a specialist in Hispanic outreach at the Dewey Square Group; and Simon Rosenberg a founder of the centrist New Democrat Network.” (“Records Show White House Health Care Talks,” The Associated Press, 11/25/09)

The Obama Campaign Enlisted Hilary Rosen As An Advisor To DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. “Obama advisers have occasionally told her to ‘tone it down’ and ‘back off a smidgen,’ Ms. Wasserman Schultz says. She agreed with them to enlist two seasoned Democratic female pros, Anita Dunn and Hilary Rosen, to begin giving her occasional political advice and media training, advisers say.”(Monica Langley, “Combative Top Democrat Gains Clout In Campaign,” The Wall Street Journal, 2/16/12)

Since 2010, Hilary Rosen Has Served As Managing Director Of SKDKnickerbocker. “Hilary B. Rosen is a well-known Washington, DC strategist who effectively navigates the intersection of communications, media, and politics. Rosen joined SKDKnickerbocker in 2010 and specializes in the firm’s strategic communications and public relations practice.” (SKDKnickerbocker Website, SKDKnickerbocker | SKDKnickerbocker, Accessed 4/12/12).....snip~

Now, now I don't want to burst you're Libby bubble, but all your favorite news outlets are reporting the same about the Rosen/Romney dust up. And, if I might add, they are "leaning" as far left as they can to cover up this pile.

But I expect anyday now MSNBC will have either turned it around and Ann Romney will have said this about Ms. Rosen, the Demo strategist, or that George Bush said it.

There is always hope for you Libbys when MSNBC is reporting the situation. :lamo
