Helping Ann Romney Pull Her Sensibly Heeled Pump Out of Her Mouth

[Liberal_in_LA]

Here are some other thoughts about what Ann Romney was really trying to say:

“I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and must go to work because they can’t afford a nanny, since sometimes these women become nannies themselves, but for other people, and that sort of thing kills two birds with one stone.”

“I love the fact that there are women out there whose children share bedrooms. Each of my five boys had their own bedrooms in each of our several homes, but it must be so much easier to pay someone to clean fewer rooms.”

“I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice because they live in states like Alabama and Nebraska where it’s practically impossible to get an abortion and they still have to raise the kids—the kids they couldn’t abort.”

“I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work so then my husband can fire them.”

1. Oh, let's just leave it there. It seems to be such a good fit, after all.

7. If she's so Ill, then stay home! Who cares that she stayed home and cared for her kids!

She needs to talk of her MS..who cares. then Mitt needs to stay home and take care of his wife! And if she's so good at taking care of kids...open a day care instead of trying to be a "first lady". And she has no attire to even dress like she can create a fashionable look to be a First Lady! Stay home ANN...MS is coming back..and women don't need YOU!!

2. You jackals and vultures!

Would you quit listening to what Ann Romney says and pay attention to what she means? Gah, you're all just sitting there waiting for one of your betters to make the tiniest little boo-boo so you can jump all over her. I suppose it makes you feel real big to make fun of Ann! Well, she's off limits, you bunch of mean girls. You're supposed to just listen to her and let her look pretty, got it?

3. See, the thing is...I really don't consider her 'pretty'...

Pretty is as pretty does.

9. Awwww

You feel sorry for Ann? She has no looks. Her Motherhood theory is a cop-out, because we've all done it..and he MS stuff is a ploy for sympathy! Get real woman. You must have blinders on!!

15. You really should abandon the MS comments.

Nobody gets a disease as a ploy for sympathy.

4. Yes please giver her a break

It must be mind boggling to balance that check book, decide which car will drive you to the spa, what the cooks are cooking for dinner, or which house to entertain at. Ann loves the fact that she doesn't have to worry about really working at all.

[GoCubsGo]

11. I'll giver her the same break she and her ilk have given you and me and everyone else here.

[TBF]

13. lol - I bet she has no idea how to balance a check book.

why would she? She has accountants for that.

5. Stop!

this is too funny!

6. I'm really sorry that Ann

didn't develop the dignity of work.

[Marr]

10. She's got the dignity of extreme wealth instead, which

is clearly far superior. I mean, I've never heard of a club that didn't allow rich people, but there sure are a lot that don't allow the non-wealthy, no matter how much 'dignity of work' they've got.

12. I want Romney to put Ann out and have her talk more.

It is clear to me that could be incredibly damaging to Romney's campaign. Ann Romney comes off as cold and calculating. Everyday people will see right through her as she speaks more.

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. Unfortunately that's opposite to what the M$M is saying. Even NPR was saying

She wins voters over especially if people sense she's being criticized by big bad pundits

[Tikki]

18. Only to a certain type of voter...not every man in the U. S. likes his..

woman Stepford and intellectually lazy. Some men take pride in their partner's thinking process.

17. Don't forget this part (her response to Hilary Rosen)

During a closed-door fundraiser in Florida, Ann Romney described Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen's recent criticism of her choosing to be a stay-at-home mother as an "early birthday present," according to a report by NBC News.

While speaking at the fundraiser for her husband Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, Ann Romney told the audience that Rosen's slam was a boon to her and her husband's campaign.

"It was my early birthday present for someone to be critical of me as a mother, and that was really a defining moment, and I loved it," Romney said.

Romney also said that the media's nonstop coverage of Rosen's criticism, along with the ensuing "war on moms," was a "gift" in the early stages of her husband's general election push.

Seems to me that her answer to everything is "I love it" or "I loved it".

Jackie Kennedy Onassis was very intelligent and knew what to say ... She was someone we were so proud of. She was one classic lady. When Marilyn Monroe died, she was asked about this by reporters. Jackie said this: 'She will go on eternally' ... that was that. Ann would have said "I love it" with a huge smile. lol
