Ann Romney: 'I love the fact that there are women out there who dont have a choice'
by Kaili Joy GrayFollow
Ann Romney, the hardest workin' hard worker ever and Mitt's "greatest asset" as well as his chief adviser on Stuff That Ladies Care AboutTM, continued her "I'm every woman" tour yesterday with an address to the bluest of the blue collars:
Romney told the audience at the Connecticut Republican Partys Prescott Bush Awards Dinner in Stamford of the exhausting nature of the campaign and the unfairness of the news cycle.
Ann shared many harrowing tales of struggle, from having to watch her husband "not getting the proper treatment at times," to doing laundry. Because Mitt Romney's chief lady stuff adviser is quite certain that the best way for her to connect with the common (wo)man, is to continue insisting that she, the wife of a multi-millionaire, is just a regular mom with regular problems and regular struggles and she knows just how hard it is to raise a family on nothing but your husband's stock portfolio, the house your father-in-law the governor bought you, and today's equivalent of a couple hundred grand.
And then Ann shared this terribly empathic sentiment:
I love the fact that there are women out there who dont 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 isnt easy for any of us.

(82,849 posts)5. Oh, now, you're just taking her remarks out of context
Or something. Anyway, it's just soooo unfair to throw Ann's stupid words back in her face, as if it proves she's as ignorant as she sounds. If you want to know the REAL Ann Romney, you should talk to her dressage coach, just like you would for any woman in America.
