He was reelected to the City Council within months after being released from prison, was mayor again for four years, and after a short gap has been on the council again since 2004.
Yeah, go figure.
Hilary Rosen is a moron. Thank you so very much for giving Romney such a gift. You’ve single-handedly cost Obama about 10 points in the polls.
Stupid bitch.
How can the White House be a “bit silent”?
Anyway, while I agree that it was very poor form from the woman and that raising five children cannot be easy, according to ontheissues, Romney suggested this:
I’m not sure what that means, but assuming that Anne Romney wasn’t married to a millionaire, wouldn’t that mean she’d be incapable of raising her children?
There’s also this:
It wouldn’t make any difference one way or the other. Eligibility for unemployment benefits is based on one’s employment history, and if you’ve never been employed, you cannot be eligible for unemployment benefits. Depending on Ms. Romney’s hypothetical net worth, she might still have been eligible for TANF, food stamps and Medicaid.
Rosen wasn’t wrong, she just didn’t frame it right.
Ann Romney didn’t *choose *to stay home to raise five kids. It’s not like she had a prime gig lined up at the dollar store, but she had to dash those career dreams to raise her children. She would would have been a stay-at-home-wife, if she weren’t a stay-at-home-mom.
The point is, the woman has zero clue what actual women who *have *made sacrifices to be stay-at-home-moms have had to deal with it.
Have a bit more faith in the guys that smell good. They aren’t that fucking stupid, except that they hang out with us.
Don’t be ridiculous. Do you really believe that that woman’s comment is going to make women vote for Romney? Jesus how airheaded do you think anybody is much less the women that “were” going to vote for Obama?
It gives Romney ammo and just might convince an independent idiot. We have this election in the bag if we don’t get cocky and start making stupid mistakes. Like this one.
Election day is a long, long way from here. Nothing, but nothing, is in the bag but bag. Karl Rove just by himself has enough PAC money to buy three third-world countries, retail. You can buy a lot of highly skilled professional cynics for that kind of money.
And when things are shitty, people blame the head guy in charge. We can’t help it, its our tribal instinct, back when you could become chief if you insisted on it, and people would do what you say, but if the thistle crop fails, we sacrifice you to Og. Crude, but effective balance of power.
It is a demonstrable fact that Karl Rove has never publicly denied taking a large sum of money from Al Qaeda to destroy the American political process.
Republicans: Refute that statemen if you can. And then consider: that is precisely what is wrong with his style of politics.
No, but I’ve read arguments that it does unite conservatives behind him, which helps overcome the issues he’s had getting them in line during the primaries. And we all know how much THAT difficulty has been discussed in the media. If Rosen has negated that disadvantage, Obama will have a harder time of it in November.
(Then again, there’s many months for Romney to remind conservatives who were squishy about him just why they were squishy. OTOH, if this helps sway independents…)
Still, shows a terrible lack of discipline and focus for Obama to go around appointing random media women to make policy pronouncements for his campaign.
You take your czars wherever you find 'em! 
Well, any woman who thinks that being a SAHM is as much work as actually going to an office for eight hours and then coming home to do all the things she has had all day to do…
A Democrat State Senator in Oklahoma has proposed an amendment to a personhood bill:
She withdrew the amendment after her betters pointed out that this denies men control over their own bodies. Still, what will liberals think of next? :dubious:
The same news article mentions that
It doesn’t say explicitly whether Howell has the Big D-for-Dumb by her name, but we all know it’s the liberal donkeys who are statist and authoritarian, so I’ll bet that way.
(BTW, I’m sure those of us who believe in the Rights of Life are proud that American legislators are finally recognizing that human life begins with a healthy ovum. But that ovum will die unless it is fertilized. 
I hope these laws are written to make clear that women who fail to fertilize their healthy ova are committing manslaughter.)
Hello Poe’s Law. I’m not sure if this is a parody or not. Just in case, you do realize that these were just protest amendments in response to the laws that women have to get an invasive exam prior to an abortion, and were not meant in seriousness, right?
Oh Poe’s Law…is there any American political discussion you don’t apply to?
I’m pretty sure Septimus is in on the joke…
I told you the gay agenda was a hoax.
