Ann Romney Never Worked a Day In Her Life.

I think Rosen's mistake wasn't saying that Anne Romney never worked a day in her life, I bet she hasn't. What she should have added was that while most stay-at-home mums might never have done a day's paid work in their lives, they most certainly have worked, and hard! I suspect Anne Romney doesn't fall into that category. I'd be surprised if she had had fewer than a couple of full-time nannies plus a whole household of domestic help. She's no ordinary struggling stay-at-home mum.

Again, her son has said there were no nannies.

He was referring to single parents. Not stay home moms.

Are you comparing stay at home moms to welfare queens?

No comparison. They both stay at home, don't work, and take care of their children....

NO, this would be a better example of your metaphor: "I wanted to increase the work requirement," said Romney. "I said, for instance, that even if you have a child 2 years of age, you need to go to work. And people said, 'Well that's heartless.' And I said, 'No, no, I'm willing to spend more giving day care to allow those parents to go back to work. It'll cost the state more providing that daycare, but I want the individuals to have the dignity of work.'"

Romney forces me to infer that stay at home parenting lacks dignity and is not work. That is a great example of tripping on one's crank. Way to appeal to your base, Mitt.

If you're taking money from taxpayers via welfare, I agree with Romney. Get up at "O'dark'30" like every other taxpayer; get your child(ren) to daycare and your arse on the job.

What makes a person on welfare different than John Q. Taxpayer who has to get up get their kids to the daycare/babysitter/school and go to work?

Well yes there is that, and I can see why. My relative, who's on welfare, complains he's not getting enough. It truly amazes me, especially when he wants me to contribute to his income.

Well, of course, he does. That's part of the pathology.

gotta give my younger brother credit, he never asked me for money.....guess he knew me too well...
Big surprise came when my older brother, who pretty much ignored me for decades, calls up wanting a "loan". He has ample income, just needs to learn how to stay out of the casinos, give up the beer and cigs, and sell his boat.

The biggest difference, I think, is that the latter is being forced to carry the former's load as well as his own.
 
I guess I am just an evil heartless bastard, but I don't think that someone living off the efforts of others deserves the same standard of living as those who are paying to support them.
 
According to this poll, the cons little hissy fit didn't matter a hoot to women.


The survey indicates women voters back Obama over Romney by 16 points (55%-39%), virtually unchanged from an 18-point advantage among women for the president in CNN polling last month.

The poll was conducted two days after Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Hilary Rosen created a controversy by saying that Ann Romney "never worked a day in her life."

"That remark may have little long-term effect on women voters," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "By a two-to-one margin, the women surveyed saw President Obama as more in touch with the problems facing American women today."

I'd have more confidence in the objectivity of the poll if it had been conducted by someone other than CNN

According to that poll they could have interviewed 10 to 1 liberals. We dont know because they didnt publish their cross tabs. IE its not worth posting about because we dont know their samples.

Oddly - stepping back into this thread I read that in the context of the OP: Ann Romney. . . ;) . . . only after recapping a bit did I realize you were referring to welfare recipients.

I'm REALLY sick of this ignorant race-baiting crap.
 
Ann romney never worked a day in her life? Then she should be well in touch with all the people on welfare living off the efforts of others. :)

As with most attacks that liberals try to level at their political opponents, they have it exactly backwards. What do they call that when one constantly forgets to include a word?

The sentence instead of saying "Ann Romney has never worked a day in her life." should instead read: "Ann Romney has never NOT worked a day in her life."

Listening to Ann Romney talk about working every day with 4 maids is like hearing Hollywood actors talk about the grueling schedule of making a movie. Oh puhleeeeeeze. Come run a chain saw in the mountains for 10 hours then tell me about exhaustion.

Hmmm....You want Ann Romney to run a chain saw in the mountains? That doesn't seem very plausible.

It used to be shameful in this country to not be able to support your family....now it seems to be becoming shameful to support them TOO well. :shrug:

Romeny's worst enemy continues to be his own mouth. Apparently, he recently referred to how many horses he owns and elevators in his houses... I'm not gonna go look up a link for those comments. I'm sure they are there, but I don't really care to even read them. He's a multi-millionnaire who is gonna have trouble relating to average people during the campaign. Go figure.

The campaign isn't about Romney, it's about Obama, and he has related to anyone in America, not even his own party.
