Another Left-Wing Hilary Mouths Off

"She has never worked a day in her life."

So said top Democrat operative and frequent White House visitor Hilary Rosen about Ann Romney, setting off a firestorm.

"She has never worked a day in her life."

If that were true about Ann Romney, then she has the same resume Barack Obama had in 2008.

Team Obama immediately fled to Twitter to flash its "disappointment" with Rosen's comments. David Axelrod and Jim Messina, the two big Obama re-election enchiladas, tweeted distance from her remarks. Other Dems followed suit, including President Obama, who saluted stay-at-home moms, even as he said that he and Michelle didn't have the "luxury" of having Michelle be one. Never miss an opportunity to spin ANYTHING into a slam of the evil 1%!

Of course, the reason they all rushed for the exits is because they remember the damage done when that other Hillary said in 1992 that she "wasn't some Tammy Wynette, standing by her man" and that she guessed that she could've "stayed home and baked cookies and had teas" but chose to pursue a "profession."

Flash forward to this week, when another left-wing Hilary showed the Far Left's true colors yet again. A few points:

1. Ann Romney should take this as a big compliment. If Team Obama weren't threatened by her and her influence with women, they wouldn't have attacked her. She is dynamite out there on the campaign trail---and Team Obama knows it. They know she's Mitt's secret weapon, especially with women. Therefore, she must be discredited and diminished and destroyed: just as strong conservative women who have come before her. Just ask Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, who also threatened to chip away at that core Democrat constituency. If you come near, they will tear your eyes out. But when they try, it indicates just how big a threat they think you are. Ann Romney's power here is immense.

2. This comment is a turning point in this campaign. In 2010, Republicans won a majority of women, setting off fire alarms in every Democrat precinct from the White House on down. They cannot win without the chicks. So, Team Obama dropped the HHS mandate on contraception into the campaign like a grenade and watched gleefully as they GOP shot itself in the foot while they spun it as a "war on birth control," and later, a broader "war on women." Both, of course, were totally bogus, but enough women fell for it to give Obama and the Dems a gender gap lift, according to at least one major poll in some swing states. Hurrah! The Dems succeeded in getting a lot of women back into the victimhood and dependency fold!

Until Rosen's comment, which insulted stay-at-home moms, and frankly ALL parents, who know that raising children is the toughest job on the planet. Ann Romney, by the way, managed to raise 5 well-adjusted sons, none of whom have been in jail or rehab. Now if that's not a job, I don't know what is. And she raised these 5 normal, high-achieving sons while battling MS and breast cancer. She is superwoman. But to Rosen and Team Obama, she's someone to be targeted, polarized, mocked and humiliated. Or so they thought.

This comment and the ensuing backlash may have reversed all of the gains the Dems made with their phony "Republican war on women," as more and more women realize that it's the Democrats ACTUALLY waging that war.

3. This IS the Left. They run on identity politics: class, race, gender. They clump us in groups, because groups are more easily controllable and because individuals are so unwieldy with those silly minds of their own. The Left is also a bunch of elitist, arrogant, dismissive, power-hungry snobs who believe that they need ever-more power and ever-more of your money because you can't manage either. And oh yeah: they have utter contempt for traditional America and the values we hold dear.

Ladies---and gentlemen---start your engines. As of today: game on.

I simply disagree.

Austerity is not coming. Obama is FDR, not Hoover.

And FDR got the US out of the Depression; not Hoover.

That is why only the GOP right wing want to be Hoover.

They feed on misery.
