April 14, 201214 yr That's a stretch .Rosen continued to tweet herself, adding, “I’ve nothing against @AnnRomney. I just don’t want Mitt using her as an expert on women struggling $ to support their family. She isn’t.” Read more: Dem strategist apologizes for attacking Ann Romney, as Obama calls remarks 'ill-advised' | Fox News :idunno:
April 14, 201214 yr Fine, if they want to keep the argument to how we generate and spend OUR money, I'm all for it. When they start making comments like "she's never worked a day in her life", that is class warfare, nothing less. It has nothing to do with the problem at hand and is brought up simply to generate envy, the main weapon in class warfare. You can't say, "when they start making comments like....." when only one person said it and both Obamas as well as other democrats defend Ann Romney and then Rosen backtracks her statement. One person is guilty. Not 'they'. They is plural.

One person is guilty. Not 'they'. They is plural. Sorry but it fits, she's made herself the face of the class warfare argument for this week, therefore plural is appropriate. Unless you think no one else thinks like her?
April 14, 201214 yr If you add a lower income class that is increasingly little desire to look for a job but is contemt with living on the government payroll, then i could agree with your statement. I asked this several years ago and don't think you guys came up with a number. How many people does this include and what % of the federal budget is spent on them.
April 14, 201214 yr What message did you take from it? I will tell you what I took from it. I took that Anne Romney's experience as a wealthy stay at home mom is in no way the experience of my mother's as the wife of a blue collar worker nor of ny friend Erin's ad the wife of a Starbuck's store manager. That's all.
April 14, 201214 yr So do the working single Moms who bust their *** working 60+ hours a week get bonus points? I think Getslow nails it with this: FWIW, neither Romney NOR Rosen have a life remotely resembling what an average American woman's is like. This is political theater Which is why I ignore it. It's already gotten more play than it deserves. One of these days I'll read exactly what Rosen said. In my opinion, though, this whole course of rhetoric is a waste of time.
April 14, 201214 yr I asked this several years ago and don't think you guys came up with a How many people does this include and what % of the federal budget is spent on them. Too much, too many and growing. And no doubt other parts of the budget needs to be addressed. Wait, I guess the Democrats can't address it since they don't submit budgets.
April 14, 201214 yr Maher's comments on Ann Romney spark outrage - POLITICO.com He's an idiot but not doing Democrats any favors.
April 14, 201214 yr Who is this "they" you are referring to?Democrats. Specifically the Obama Campaign team.
April 14, 201214 yr Maher's comments on Ann Romney spark outrage - POLITICO.com He's an idiot but not doing Democrats any favors. Maher is a sleazeball and a coward. If he had to deal with what Ann Romney has, I have zero doubt he'd cower in a corner and cry his little eyes out. Certified wimp.
April 15, 201214 yr Why should she have said anything about Mrs Romney? She running? If I'm a campaign strategist (and I'm most certainly not), I play up the disconnect between the candidate and the masses. I don't think it's dirty pool at all to point out the fact that the candidate's family lives in the lap of luxury, particularly if I'm trying to woo the middle class. I obviously disagree with the "stay-at-home-moms don't work" angle, however.
