Ann Romney Never Worked a Day In Her Life.

How awkward that just a few years ago, what Michele Obama wore and where she traveled was an issue for Republicans on this forum. The Obama's were constantly called elitists because they supposedly couldn't identify with never went to college Joe Blow and his plumber abilities. Now the shoe is on the other foot and wives are irrelevant, wealth is irrelevant and it's okay to be a rich snob with a lot of education. Oh Republicans...

the hypocrisy is equal or higher on your side. the feminazis have long looked down at stay at home moms as breeders as the politicians the feminazis support make it tough for a family to raise children with one wage earner.
 
That's kinda overkill, isn't it?

Wasn't the Axlerod Twitter enough, LOL?

Well Axlerod and Messina had already thrown Rosen under bus this morning.

Evidently the hue and cry was to the point the President had to speak out. Can't let this get out of hand this close to the election. :mrgreen:

When you put it like that . . . . makes me want to be a Repub. :)
 
Oh Hatuey. How does this pertain to what was said? Are you saying that you think Obama should have been attacked for her wealth and inability to connect to common people?

Lefties don't like inherited wealth or wealth earned from investment but they have no problem with people using public office to become filthy rich such as the Clintons, the Kennedys or the Obumbles who saw Michelle get a 200K salary increase after her husband won the senate. Does anyone think Obumble's book would have made millions if he had not been elected? would Al gore's father "the poor country" school teacher have died a multi millionaire but for being a senator who became Armand Hammer's favorite pet monkey?

I thought that those complaints were idiotic for the exact same reasons. I thought what was complained about Kerry and his wife was also pathetic.

Lots of people did. Don't like the stuff about candidates' kids either (Kerry's daughter, Gore's son, Chelsea, the Bush twins, Palin's daughters, any of it. The issues are plenty enough to talk about.
 
And the republicans are blamed for "A war on women"??? That's funny coming from the left after they demonize Ann Romney. I remember a speech by Ubama when he talked about after Michelle and him married and had their kids that Michelle had to work. They didn't have the luxury of her staying home to raise the kids. Ubama said Michelle felt guilty about her job when with the girls and felt guilty about the girls when working.

What we have here folks is class envy!!! How dare Ann Romney have a husband who made enough money where she could stay home and raise 5 children. Ann Romney also has MS.

Did Michelle ever work while having a debilitating disease???


But now a Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen thinks that's not good enough. She should have to work like the majority of American women.

Affirmative action poster child Michelle Obama (who got into Princeton with mediocre grades at an OK High school and then got into Harvard Law with grades no white man would have been accepted with) claimed she was not an affirmative poster child but rather a LEGACY because he affirmative action older Brother had got into Princeton before her.

Isn't that rich?
 
I haven't mentioned a nanny. She never has to worry about healthcare, she never has to worry about gender inequality in pay, she never has to worry about the things most people and/or most women deal with. She's not the best sounding board for what's important to women.

Typical lefty response. Ann has a debilitating disease...MS that she also deals with.

How about Ubama paying women in Washington 18% less than the men? Pretty cool huh.
War on Women???...talk to your president.
 
You're the only one that's mentioned feelings. Understanding the concerns of Americans doesn't mean their feelings it means you prioritize based on what's important to most Americans. That you recognize issue that are important to Americans and try and solve them as President.

For example...we hear from conservatives in Arizona that passed the immigration bill that people don't understand the situation in that state in regards to immigration....aka understanding the concerns of those citizens. That immigration is a large issue. They are tired of it not being dealt with.
Its comical beyond words that you think someone has to be a democrat to 'understand' whats important to Americans. Lets see...whats REALLY important is a war on women...unfettered access to birth control, Romneys wealth...Romneys religion...

No...whats really important to Americans is JOBS. The ability to provide for their own needs and those of their families. Being able to fill a gas tank without selling plasma. A stable economy. A responsible government. Not dumping a mountain of debt on future generations. National Security. The difference is in how we accomplish those goals.

If you are in the great midwest he is your president to.

Believe me Ann Romney knows what is important to women and this country. Rosen is your typical radical left wing hack.
 
Not really - all of her kids are grown: why isn't she employed now? Is it considered a sin in their eyes to find employment when you're a woman?

I think it actually brings up some significant questions - our government is suppose to foster equality and freedom and further the belief that women have a right to work and should find employment as it suits their needs in their life. Does Romney believe that women have a right to work or are we going to see hints of male-favoritism as we did during the Great Depression if the government tries to step in to help with employment issues and exludes women in the process if he's in office?


I don't think it's wrong to be a stay at home mom: I am one.

But at some point you stop being a stay at home mom - their youngets child was born in 1981, making him one year younger than me. . . she is no longer a stay at home mom for her children - that is no longer her description in life and does not account for their actual beliefs at present.

What does she do - if anything - with all these years she's had? Where does he fall in his beliefs? If we bring the President's career choices and his wife's career choices into question (yes - I was here last election: I remmeber all of that quite clearly and it wasn't all a negative issue) then why can't we question this and what it reflects on them as people of this country.

I have a serious problem with a grown capable woman who does not find employment - ever. My husband's mother is one and she's lowly in my view: living freely and welloff on the hard work of others and has done nothing to earn anything for herself. It is a questionable existance: it's wealthy laziness.
Seriously? You do realize that Romney's list of advisors and former cabinet members are chock full of women right?

Considering things he's said from time to time, their family dynamic, and some things he seems to believe in I don't think I'm insane for being curious - curiousity leads to knowledge, knowledge leads to answers, answers lead to wisdom, wisdom leads to forum superiority, forum superiority leads to forum leadership . . . LOL :shrug:

I think it's worthy to question - but I don't vote with my emotions.

Hope this satisfies some of your curiosity. he's a pretty impressive guy.

I guess the "War on Women" the Repubs are supposed to be waging has been turned around on the Dems. :2razz:


The "left wing hack" Rosen woman lobbed one over and Ann Romney smacked it out of the park. Now the President has to play the fielding position and I don't think he wants to be doing that now.
 
Ballot Box - The Hill's Ballot Box

"Rosen is not officially part of the Obama campaign but is a longtime party strategist and insider, and those on the conference call said she's visited the White House more than 30 times during the Obama administration."
 
a stupid attack by this Democratic party strategist.... stupidity only eclipsed by those whom defend her or make similar arguments.

listen Democrats, put down the idea that you know what is better for women than the individual women out there.. you do not.
put down the idea that success is evil or somehow bad.. it's not.... it's good.


y'all had it right during the last election when you argued that being elite was good .. and was a good trait for the President to have... do not change now and declare that being elite is now evil or bad.


hopefully there are not too many liberals/democrats who believe women should get off their ass and get to work if they do not need or want to, hopefully there are plenty of liberals/ democrats who understand the importance of raising children and tending to the family...
but after a cursory reading of this thread, i'm afraid my hopes are dashed.... too many people are still attacking this women for not working , but instead choosing to stay home and tend to her family.
 
Seems like President Obama is trying like hell to distance himself from this woman. Yet she'd visisted the WH 30 times? Seems a little cozy to me.

I think the President, Axelrod and Messina, better pick up the pace it they think they can outrun this fiasco. :mrgreen:

ann romney's husband is a freakin millionaire. she doesn't need to work and can hardly be considered to be living freely on the hard work of others. what would you expect her to do? get a job at walmart? I can see it now, "here's my paycheck honey...now we have 200 million and 175 dollars. I just want to do my part"

My wife has a degree in accounting, and by these standards has "never worked a day in her life". I have been fortunate (and worked hard enough) that she has been able to be a stay at home mom. once the kids are gone we plan on living off my military retirement. will she then be guilty of living off the hard work of others?
 
Well, we know two things for certain. Her husband is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and she has two cadillacs. I'm willing to gamble that she also had plenty of help taking care of her kids.


And in your mind that justifies this Demo hit woman's comments? What is it the money? Or is it the 2 cadillacs? I'd say both just tighten your jaw. You realize your feelings are called envy, yes?

That's right, now I remember, you like to bet with folks on line. Is that it? One bet to many? :2razz:
