15. Thank you. But get ANGRY about Romney!

Mom was gracious. I am not. Get ANGRY about Mitt Romney's demeaning comments about women and the "dignity of work" for those women not born of privilege, like all those he knows. I grew up with Gov. George Romney and his wife, Lenore. George Romney was a fighter for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam; Lenore was a passionate supporter of the ERA.

Mitt is fraudulent, and could even be worse than his fellow child of privilege, W. We are in grave danger. That's why I posted this, for all the Moms trying to make it today.

Excellent! kentuck Apr 2012 #1
