ANN ROMNEY: SUPER MOM

  • McCague said...

    Republican senators used the filibuster during Obama's first two years more than any other Senate in history. That's why nothing got done. Some Republicans only broke ranks to vote for a health bill that was extremely watered down and something they could campaign against. That old song-and-dance won't work. If Republicans regain the Senate they will immediately push for a simple majority, or at least require someone to actually speak during a filibuster. It would serve them right if Senate Democrats used filibuster after filibuster. However, I doubt many Democrats would hold out against their constituents' best interests as Republicans did (and are still doing). In truth, I would not want the Democrats to be petty and vindictive enough to bring Washington to its knees as has been done during the past three years. I'm sure most Democrats would agree.

    How ironic that things would get done under a Republican majority. Why? Because Democrats would actually vote for things that help the country. Why? Because they're not Republicans.

    you"re right Sir Harry has been very helpful on getting things voted on in the senate.......

    Romney himself started this whole flap about his wife when he brought her into the campaign by saying "When I want to know what is important to women (assuming middle class women), I ask my wife." Really? She has personal knowledge and understanding of the problems facing working-class mothers, single mothers, factory workers, poor mothers, college women trying to afford tuition, etc. etc.? By involving his wife she came under scrutiny that may have been a little unfair, but he invited it. If he truly wants to know how women feel he should ask some. After all, he should know how his wife feels by now. Unless he doesn't. On several occasions she has said "maybe I should do the talking." Michelle Obama has been a target for vicious attacks from the right since Barack became a national figure - and Hiliary Clinton long before that.

    maybe Mitts wife needs to take a $500.000 vacation to Spain with her friends to figure out what a middle class women is going thru........

    I know Obama and much of the Democratic Congress takes money also. They would be stupid not to since they probably don't feel like ceding an even greater advantage to the right. Let's all pledge to forego big money from any source and see who would be willing. We all know what party that would be. Where did I mention that I got a raw deal? I was pretty much saying I would have been willing to give up that "refund" and the subsequent tax breaks for a balanced and thriving economy and a solvent SS and Medicare. I am happy with my life. I have an apartment building that nets $2,800 a month from college students, a year-round condo two blocks from a casino in Henderson, NV, a 100% retirement income, 70 years old and look 50, running a 5k tomorrow morning, preparing for the Columbus Marathon this fall, may open a bar in my 1830 building, writing 5 screenplays and a book, never had a broken bone, in perfect health, and never have a down day. I think I could have qualified for any management position in your little world. However, that seems awfully dull to me.

    The mouthpieces exist on the right, where it is devoid of independent thought and everyone is just waiting for the next talking point of the week.

    so you are a retired goverment worker........so how much are we on the hook for in paying for your very stressful life, were u one of those guys that had a buddy clock in for you when you weren't there? AS Paul Harvey use to say.....and now we know the REST OF THE STORY.........

    Dave1954, I just can't leave you alone..... What is this about being patriotic and supporting the other party when they are in power? Is this a new thing for you guys? Patriotism from the left? Come on. Now you are pissing me off.

    It was a man like you who tried to punch my uncle in 1971 on leave seeing his son for the first time. You are disgusting.

    And you're nuts!

    And here I thought that even though we disagreed, you were smart enough to cut through a lot of the bullshit. First, the GOP does not want to take women's choice away from any woman. The GOP does however want to outlaw murder/genocide, better known as abortion. The GOP also does not want to prevent the poor from recieving medical services. The GOP will continue to fund Medicade, no one has even mentioned eliminating it. However, the GOP does rightfully want to end all public funding for Planned Parenthood. The GOP also does not want to ban contraception. However, the GOP would respect the 1st Amendment and religious freedom and not try to force the Catholic Church to provide it.

    I am shocked that you fell for some of the Liberal talking points.

    Unfortunately BW it is you who has accepted misinformation as truth.

    Abortion is legal in this country. States and repubs in Congress trying to take that Constitutional right away from women are taking away their freedom of choice. Doesn't matter how many times you or anyone calls it murder, the Supreme Court has ruled that it a woman's right to choose.

    Anything you say contrary to that is the BS of people who want their religious views on others.

    However, I do not want to debate abortion. My point was that the red states are passing bills which are clearly UnConstitutional based upon their political philosophy and the House tries to sneak into bills the same things from time to time. Millions of women have had abortions and tens of millions of others support the Constitutional right of women to have control over their own bodies.

    States who are passing bills that say that life begins at conception are absolutely trying to take away many forms of contraceptives used by women. Most do not stop the sperm from fertilizing the egg but interfere with the fertilized egg attaching to the wall of the uterus. Something like 85% of women on contraceptives, use one that would be illegal if the SC overturns Roe.

    Many of the working poor do not qualify for Medicaid. There were 40 to 50 million people with no health insurance including medicaid when the AHA was passed. Even if the SC finds it Constitutional, which they won't, there will be nearly 20 million people without insurance with over half of them being female. Planned Parenthood provides millions of women with contraceptives and it is estimated that they help prevent 500,000 pregnancies a year. They also provide many women who have no insurance, but do not qualify for Medicaid, with basic preventative tests like pap smears and mammograms. Defunding it is going to be another blow to women's health.

    No church can be made to provide contraceptives to their direct employees. However, religious affiliated hospitals and colleges which receive taxpayer money have no such 1et amendment right. The SC has ruled on this multiple times. The SC has also ruled that it is UnConstitutional and a form of sexual discrimination for employers/insurance companies to not offer legal medical procedures/medicines that are used by females when no such constraints are used for male procedures/medicines.

    Again you can debate that the SC is wrong on all of that - but that does not even really matter here.

    Another example, the House GOP just passed a continuation of the reduced rate for student loans but want to pay for it by eliminating a program that provides for preventative care and public health for middle and lower class people, mostly women.

    Such actions do not constitute a "war on women" but the point is the results are the same. Women are losing rights and privileges they currently have. This is not because the GOP wants to penalize women but rather because the repubs are trying to pass into law the things they believe in. Things that are farther right than they have been in many decades.

    However, the bottom line is that if your fist keeps hitting me in the nose, even if that is not your intent, it feels the same as if you were trying to hit me. States and Congressional repubs keep hitting women in the nose wether it is intentional or not.

    This is why the Mitt is way down with women in the polls.

    Though often asked, God does not take sides in politics or college football.

    Menstrual,

    My apartments have a waiting list. All 5 have brick walls throughout, a bar with 4 stools, a built-in booth, bead-board wainscoting throughout with a 6 inch ledge at the top, hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, and 10 foot ceilings. I pay utilities. Isn't that enough?

    Your misguided stereotype of a Democrat is so 80's. You need to get a new schtick.

    Retired teacher of 36 years. And 4 years in the Air Force (1960-64). 41 year coach of football, basketball, track, cross country, and volleyball. I consider myself a pretty good judge of character. For instance, GW Bush was that guy who sat in the back of the room in every one of my Biology classes snickering around with his buddies, never completing an assignment, and wanting extra credit at the end of the grading period to pull up his grade. We all remember that guy. I suspect you have many of those same traits. Sorry to use the word "traits," since that may be construed as an evolutionary term. Wouldn't want to offend your Creationist sensibilities.

    You paid nothing for my stressful life, unless you happen to really be one of those idiots in the back of my classroom. BTW, I have never had a "very" stressful day in my entire life. I guarantee you could not say the same. You're too tightly wound.

    Willard Romney's wife must be Super Mom. After all, she raised 5 boys all by herself while her husband was out buying up companies, firing their workers and then selling the company off for profit. Meanwhile Little Ann was home with 5 monstrous boys. I wonder if she did her own grocery shopping? How about worrying about the gas bill in winter? How about doctor's bills? Do you think she had to worry about everyday things most mericans worry about? I don't think so. I've heard the Mitten dotes on her, will do anything for her, and forbids the kids to talk back to her. if that is so, why no maids, or nannies to help his wife? Doesn't really make sence. Now before your moron Cons start blaming me for being anti-women you best get out there and read the Romney story. Not all roses and alot of holes in it. And lease don't call me a women hater, I believe a women should have a choice, should have equal pay and be treated as equals in everything they do. I am sure Cons out there believe in the same thing, too.

    Wow buddy. You're still in here making retarded posts? You don't give up too easily, do you? It seems like the more thumbs down you get the more you post. I think I'm gonna start thumbing UP your shit now... a little reverse psychology. Whatever it takes to get you to read a book or two.

    I get the feeling you have never seen the clip of Bush saying that he does not know where Bin Laden is, and that frankly he doesn't think much about Bin Laden. It is understandable, since FOX "News" has probably never shown it. If you have seen it, please respond. One thing I'm sure of, Bin Laden was not in Iraq. And neither was Al Quida until Bush invaded and occupied it.

    BTW, you keep responding to "Bin Laden is dead and the auto industry is alive," but you never comment about "The sky is whatever color Hannity says it is." Do you not know what we are referring to when we are saying that?
