"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.
You are 100% correct. Liberals love anything against motherhood and financial success and Mrs. Romney has both!
Posted by: A Facebook User | April 12, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Another faux outrage. Most people on twitter are actually making fun of Ann. It's not about motherhood. Ann had the option to stay at home because she was financially secure. Most women don't have that option. Most women don't have maids and full staff to take care of the children and house. Most women HAVE to work just to make ends meet. She's not the best person to speak about what the average women is going through.
Posted by: elle | April 12, 2012 at 07:03 PM
I don't agree with that. I have been at home with my children for 11 years and it is not a cakewalk in ths economy. Every SAHM I know struggles financially to make it work, but we do it anyway. I don't care how rich someone is, if they are home with their kids, it's their choice and shouldn't be made fun of.
Posted by: Catherine | April 12, 2012 at 07:38 PM
Was happy Ann was on Fox with Martha MCullum but thought Ann should have been much stronger in her comments. For example when she said "Mitt says my job at home.... Mitt says....." I felt she was trying too hard to validate herself.... Please we
Need strong representation here! Also after viewing the video of Rosen she expressed her (distasteful ) opinion in the context of economics. Come on Ann who better to understand economics than a stay a home parent who shops for provisions, buys what the household needs, probably pays bills, drives a car pays for gas.....etc. Now that would have been the response I would have expected, and what we needed. I am fearful the left is out matching us, only the strong survive, and I want to see some Romney's on steroids here! Man or Woman up!,,,

In the uproar over the stupidity of Rosen's remark there is failure to give proper credit to Rush Limbaugh and how successful he has been in shaping the way so many people think. For twenty years he has cleverly indoctrinated American thinking about the evil welfare mother, too lazy to work, only starting to get up in the middle of the afternoon. A married stay at home mom, unless she has a husband in the Romney level, is probably part of the evil 50% who don't make enough to pay income tax. If they are careless about contraception and don't choose abortion, they probably are part of the evil bunch who qualify for earned income tax credit. The kind of power to produce this kind of thinking shows why Rush has the most listened to show in the country.

I'll leave it at that.
Let's all resign ourselves to the sad fact that Kittens is what we have to work with to try and stem the tide.
I still think that negotiations should be started on dividing up the country, but so far maybe only a few on the "right" and the NOI appear to be in favor.
Count out the race reverends cause the money they are extorting basically comes from US.
Whitelibs don't make nearly enough to satisfy all their demands. Remember, they need their minions to get paid off via "programs" as well.

The problem with "dividing up" the country:
How? Why would the takers agree to leave the makers?
Why would the untaxed agree to separate from the taxed?
When do parasites ever give up their host?
When do progasite trolls ever give up Monicamemo?

Campaign advice for Mitt Romney:
STOP asking the Lady of the Manor for advice on womens' issues.
Instead, start asking your housekeepers, your cook, your upstairs and downstairs maid STAFF, your wife's 5+ interior decorators, and the 5-8 NANNIES you've hired over the years about womens' issues.
And further along, the lesbian military vet elevator tech who'll be servicing your car garage car elevator.
Hmmmmmm?
Sounds like a plan.

"This comment is a turning point in this campaign." - Monica Crowley
In your dreams, Pumpkin. One offhand comment by a pundit doesn't equate to the last two years of womens' rights sodomizing going on in JUST the State Houses, let alone nationally from your right wing hysterical Monk base and your reactionary witch-hunting Congress.
Will it play to your vicious Church Ladies? Of course.
Will it go one step farther and gain even one independent woman's vote?

Funny that the RATS should yap about a so-called "War on women" when they've been waging TOTAL WAR on CONSERVATIVE WOMEN for years.
Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Sue Myrick and a host of others have been brutally savaged by uncouth and UNCIVIL LIEberal media and political figures alike.
The recently adopted "War on women" meme is nothing but an orchestrated response to the 2010 electoral data Monica mentioned above.
I doubt that too many people will fall for it.

[DJ note: Newt Gingrich is just itching with anxiousness to grant amnesty to an estimated 15 to 25 million illegal aliens -- most of which are Mexicans (which DO NOT have intentions of assimilating. Their STATED intention is to move the Mexican border north!!!). That FACT begs the question: what kind of "conservative" would support someone like Newt Gingrich?]

Of course one such "conservative" that would support a member of the Treason Lobby such as Newt Gingrich is Al Sharpton loving Rich Lowry.

Another Purge at National Review
Rich Lowry, the "conservative" who runs National Review, has purged another writer, this time Robert Weissberg, for attending an American Renaissance conference. Lowry alleged that Weissberg's talk there was "noxious", but as in the case of the Derb Purge, no other reasons were given, nor did Lowry bother to explain what was noxious about his speech. (I haven't read or listened to Weissberg's talk.)
Conservatives - or maybe "conservatives" - are worse than foolish. Lowry and NR allow leftists to set the bounds of discourse. NR has long existed, in my view, for the sole purpose of getting Republicans elected to office - where they can continue America's run for the cliff, only at slower speed. It appears that Lowry and his ilk are terrified of being called names, and afraid that Republicans might actually stand for something other than a milder version of leftism.
This case may be another example of how liberals dominate institutions, including allegedly conservative ones. Was it John O'Sullivan who, in a saying now loaded with irony, said that any institution not explicitly conservative will become left-wing over time?

For once the X-lax aka Leslie Bell is half right. It is indeed doing the dirty work for the DNC, namely defecating all over a Conservative website which does nothing to protect its wide-open borders.
But where the X-lax is wrong is on Hillary Rosen's part. Of course sh ei sdoing the dirty work for the DNC as well.
She attacks, they wash their hands and remain "above the fray", but the damage is being done on their behalf.
