Has Ann Romney ever worked a day in her life?

[Exterminator]

What say you?

[Bo D]

Probably not. Don't really care. But if I had the kind of money she fell into, I wouldn't work either.

[Exterminator]

Neither would I but I also wouldn't try to pretend that I understand the economic plight of middle class women.

[me]

And the big deal with this is?  She was/is a stay at home mom are you putting that down now too?  Is there something demeaning about that?  Does that make her less of a person or woman and if so how? 

[The Troll]

  I would say that Mitt has always been rich, born with a gold spoon in his mouth.  His wife, hooooooo she had it so bad.  In 2011 she had 5 house keepers and she don't have any children at home.

  I bet she didn't have one person helping taking care of the house, taking care of the kids, cooking.  Mowing the grounds of the manison, cleaning the stable where she and Mitt has their horses.  If anyone tell you she didn't have nannies, maids and cooks, I would say you're a big fibber.

So what does she have to do with Mitt anyway?  Why is it so important to go after her character and put her down?  Does it have a bearing on any kind of issues that are important?  If so then why don't we look into Michelle's background?

I don't think you can still claim to be a stay at home mom after your kids are all grown.

I didn't say that but don't conservatives imply exactly that all of the time when they portray welfare mothers as lazy?  Do single mothers who must rely on public assistance have the same right to make the "career choice" to be mothers or is that option only available to people who don't have to work anyway?

A lot of the people on welfare do make careers out of it by choice and you can't deny that.  But one has nothing to do with the other in this case.

What the liberals are trying to do is put the Romney's in a bad light any way possible to stay away from having to discuss the issues.  It is getting old and no one is paying attention to it, well maybe a few like you are,  because they want to hear the issues discussed and how they are going to be handled not who did what to who and where.

I'm not talking about making a career out of being on welfare, I'm asking if a woman has the right to choose the "career" of being a mother if welfare is the only way she has to support herself while doing so.  Your ilk has been calling them lazy for decades and now wants to get indignant when someone suggests that Ann Romney, who has drivers, cooks and housekeepers, never worked.

No, what the liberals and many middle-class conservatives as well are suggesting is that Mitt Romney's constant deference to his wife's opinions on the economic plight of middle-class women is misguided and misplaced because she knows absolutely nothing about them.  And here's a clue for you: these are the real issues.

[The Troll]

  I heard it with my own ears what Mitt said, "my wife REPORTS to me on the economy."  I do agree that she probably more up on the economy than .   But like what they say about Mitt working with many women and having ask for their advice.  I'll bet they REPORTED to him too.

Did you know Mitt Romney's wife also has had breast cancer and has MS?  You do know what MS is don't you?  Now lets hear you put her down some more.  Of course you have a right to put her down 'cause she's just a conservative's wife as well as a conservative herself, she's fair game like was said in another thread.  You all are amazing.

  My wife and I have friend who has at the present breast cancer.  We have friends who have had breast cancer.  We had friends who have died of cancer.  We have a friend with MS and a woman I worked with had MS and has since died and not in a very good way.

  The woman who said that Romney hadn't worked a day is a working woman outside of her home, who also is raising children.  Romney's wife has not worked outside of her home, like my wife didn't until our boy was in school and she got bored staying home.  I didn't ask her to get a job because I made and work enough for her to not work.

  When you were working did you have maids, cooks, nannies and money to take really good care of them giving them everything they wanted and sent them to the finest colleges that money could buy.  I'll bet you didn't, unless you have lied about not having any money when you were raising kids.  Hummmmmmm.   

  "Me" you know what you are saying is total crap and bullhocky, give it up, your not proving a thing to us.

Who is qualified to 'understand the plight of the middle class woman'? Certinaly not the woman who called her unqualified, not Mrs. Obama, not Mrs. Clinton or anyone else who has voiced an opinion on tv. They are all past that. My point is, she is as qualified as many of the people who want you to think they know so much about the subject.

What does that have to do with any of the issues Romney will have to deal with as President if he is elected?  I thought kids, wives, and family had been made off limits by the dems.  Oh, of course that only applies to them doesn't it and not the conservatives.  Don't you think Michelle had maids, cooks, and nannies?  How about Hillary, don't you think she had maids, cooks, and a nanny?  You know come to think of it Obama took their cook to the White House to cook for them and also moved Michelle's mom into the White House to be with the kids.  How many other presidents have done something like that?  All this stuff the dems are coming up with to discredit and demean is pure garbage and you know it.

Very well said Anne.
