Ann Romney: "I love the fact that there are women who don't have a choice and they must go to work" [View all]

Ann Romney Sticks Her Silver Foot In Her Mouth Again

Far be it from me to give helpful advice to either Romney but they keep going back to the .... adage about when you're in a hole stop digging.


“I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. Thank goodness that we value those people too. And sometimes life isn’t easy for any of us.”


Would you like more cake with that let them eat cake? What does that even mean "I love the fact that there are women out there who don't have a choice...."

Let's be clear. She had the choice and the financial means to enable her to make the choices she did. Fine and dandy. But when are they going to realize that for many to most families, this choice isn't one, and that her husband's economic policies don't positively impact families and further that goal? Because until then ( and I'm not holding my breath) it just comes across as indulgent, fake, and clueless.
