You people shouldn't be making light of Ann Romney.

Think of the life challenges she faces--like trying to remember which Cadillac she left her purse in.

And wanting to fire the domestic staff every now and then for amusement but having to restrain herself upon realizing how hard it is to find good help.

She doesnt labor. Other than birthing. Should be the phrase.

But, even then, she has MS. Maybe leave her alone. Let her make a fool of herself.

Except that she and her husband have consciously, deliberately injected her into their campaign. As for letting her make a fool of herself, it's pretty obvious by now that there is no way a Republican can do that in the present atmosphere in the popular media. They need all they help they can get, otherwise these nonsensical "issues" fade from their white-hot relevance as soon as it becomes inconvenient for the Republican who started it (viz., that vile human being and "sluts" who demand everyone else pay for their birth control pills).

as in very rich and entitled... serious answer to your post...

They do have issues with life... they are just different issues

Here is another observation... they tend to go on vacation often, change the cars often, yes at times FIRE the wait staff for stupid shit... and I mean really stupid shit.

And you know what? Some of them are the most unrealized people you will ever meet. Yes, they have all the material things in the world, but happy... no, not really.

for low level depression... which can be a hell all on it's own. Good news, she could afford the doctors.

One of these people, not naming names or relations or anything, for decades did not come out of bed before twelve, and was under treatment most of her life.

That is the kind of hell... and seriously, we now know that money is not all...

The Romneys have security, economic security, but they may, not saying they do, don't know them, have some of the issues I just spoke off. Hell, perhaps there is a short story there. Not to try people feel sorry for the rich, lord knows I don't.

There is another one... the resentment. They know people resent them, so why people in that category rarely become social with those under them. And in some countries they need to live within a security bubble from hell.

You speak truth when you observe, "good news, she could afford the doctors."

Resentment cuts both ways too. I would bet there's as much resentment flowing from the rich to the peasants as there is the other way around.

As you can tell, nadin, I can't find it in my heart to feel too sorry for rich folks. I believe you're a better person than I am.
