Have you read or seen the movie "The Help"? Mrs. Romney strikes me as the "Hilly Holebrook" type

[demtenjeep]

feels like she is above everyone, even the girls in her circle and one that would snub her nose at any she "deemed" below her

She seems like she could be very viscious and hateful and would enjoy being that way.

1. Sounds a out right. After all SHE is an honest woman staying home to care for her kids, while any

Low income woman should leave their child at age two to someone elses care so that they can " have the DIGNITY of work" according to Mitt Romney. Who - might I add is a mega millionaire. And his missus never had to draw a paycheck in her life. She never knew what it was like to worry about being able to support her kids when layoffs were being handed out at work.

While i fully support the idea that women who stay home to care for their kids are working, I recognize that Mrs Romney (who has the economic power to get shopkeepers to close their store so she can shop in peace...?!) is not really like your average stay at home mom. Not even like your above average stay at home mom. Most stay at home moms work to make ends meet. Sacrifice sontheir kids have things.

Mrs Romney gets storekeepers tomclose the store so she can shop in peace, without those annoying little people around....

The rich, they are not like us.
And i do not think they LIKE us or really care about us. Except as useful idiots to further their way of life.

2. Totally agree with you. nt

3. Well, certainly Mitt is reminiscent. One of the most poignant moments is Abilene talking about

how she has to leave her own son in the care of others in order to go be the maid/nanny for white folks in that book "The Help".

Honestly that book came to mind as I read Mitt's words this am about how poor people should just suck it up and put their 2 year olds into daycare. I have no idea if Ann Romney also ascribes to that motif and if she's a "Hilly Holebrook" in spitefulness but she's certainly got a lot of characteristics reminiscent of the spoiled privileged white women of that class.

4. I certainly get that vibe when I hear Ann speak

spoiled privileged describes her to a T

5. Shouldn't families be off limits?

Best to focus on the candidate.

6. not when she puts herself out there and says she got an early birthday present by this

no.

She is meaner than Mittons and we are not gonna let her smear and slide because she is the wife

[oberliner]

7. Both Barack and Michelle have said so

"Let me tell you, the one thing I believe is families are off-limits."

- Michelle Obama

"I don't have a lot of patience for commentary about the spouses of political candidates,"

- President Obama

8. She has entered the campaign as an "asset."

And, honey, I'd like to know more about those fine upstanding sons she has raised. What do they do all day?

[amuse bouche]

9. She comes across as a flighty ditz

It's weird because Mittens is a ditz too.
