DNC on Ann Romney – Mother of Five – “Never Worked A Day In Her Life” – War on Women from the Left
Ann Romney - Good Grief She's a Mother! - image Politico from Article: "Ann Romney is the Romney Democrats Fear Most- Explains a lot!
From ABC News: Hilary Rosen, a Democrat Strategist (meaning politic pundit whose sole purpose is to further the DNC’s goal of maintaining and imaginary edge in the 2012 election cycle (could also apply to RNC’s depending on which side of the fence one sits) knocked one out of the park yesterday, suggesting that Ann Romney, wife of GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, had never worked having raised five children.
Whether one is rich, poor, or in what’s left of the middle, and has had the opportunity to raise one, let alone five children, that individual understands that “motherhood” is a position in itself, and at times a thankless, unpaid position that requires a skill set which would be the envy of most CEO’s. Frankly, the comment insults all women who have made the “choice” to raise a family. The feminist rants of the 1960’s are echoed in these tired claims by the left that mothers are in the role of Betty Crocker, and that all women want is access to free abortions and contraceptives – apparently to avoid becoming like Ann Romney – or any woman who has or is intending to raise a child. The vestiges of the radical feminist, who are all of an age that would send most to the shuffleboard court, continue to haggle on and have become the “face” of the DNC in its quest to appeal to women voters. Those women who are in need of nothing more than freedom from motherhood, and a access to unlimited “choice” at the taxpayers, or the Catholic Church’s expense.
When one is a “wife and mother”, who has an education that is equal to, or in some cases greater than her husband’s (another choice that is not preferred to women under the mantle of “choice”), and actively decides to stay home and care for her child (or children), that women is often referred to as someone “shackled” with a loss of “freedom”, as she is perceived as being “tied down to children and under the direction of a husband” (except in the preferred DNC case where one is on welfare and under direction of the “State”), the reality being that the woman who stays at home, is more of top of her “job” (for that is what it is), and responsible for running the home and “helping” (i.e. caring for) her husband. A woman at home, if one were truly a committed progressive, and or socialist such as the majority of the DNC are, would be well aware that in true socialist nations, these women who stay at home and raise children are paid by the state (See Austria). It is encouraged, as the children fare better than they would normally in an institutional (day-care) center, it saves the family money, and these women are often paid for that particular job title.
Of course, feminists never would stoop to being a “kept” woman, who works tirelessly for the “cause” and demeans men and children – except of course if one is the leader of a movement – say Gloria Steinem.
The Republican War on Women is a myth that should be debunked – it is nothing more than a political ploy, one designed to persuade the “silly sheep” that women are – or “the masses” from an elite point of view (either way) that a political body wants to control them – by turning them into mere servants!
How? By taking away their contraceptive.
Fact: Candidate Rick Santorum in defending the Catholic Church, and all religious institutions who employ U.S. citizens, through their myriad charitable organizations, due to President Obama’s mandate that all those must supply contraception and abortions through their health insurance programs, which is contrary to most established religion’s tenants, was the root of this little tirade from the left. Santorum was defending the first amendment right of freedom of religion, and as he was a Republican who personally, as a Catholic, did not practice ‘birth control” in his family (see multitude of children), it was an immediate MSNBC moment whereby women under Santorum would be forced to marry and produce children left and right! The horror!
Now that Santorum has exited the race, this imagined war on women must continue, so they (Democrat strategists) have found a new target - Ann Romney – her crime – being a mother. In doing so, they have insulted, to the very core, any woman who has raised children, is raising children, or plans to raise a child or two or ten - by suggesting that the task is somehow easy, one just sits and eats bon-bon’s all day.
Here are but a sample of the many facts about the real war on women – The Pocketbook
From Free Beacon.com “Obama White House pays women less than men, records show”
Price of food continues to bow to inflation – paying more getting less at the grocery store (This affects both women who choose to stay at home (moms); mom’s in the workforce, mom’s who have incomes, and mom’s who rely on the government for food.)
What women really want: security, financial, national, and frankly, from political organizations who feel they have a right to co-opt and lead those of such light political and mental acumen to vote one way or the other.
Conservative Feminists are branded as out of touch – specifically because they would prefer to have a child than abort a child – other than that – they look for equal pay, for opportunities (both in the workforce and education), and are no different than their more Progressive counterparts, with two exceptions: abortion and the ability to forget one is a feminist, if the woman running for office is highly qualified (Hillary Clinton), and the man is a bigger fan of abortion (See NARAL and Obama’s star rating). It is that one issue, that issue that is lucrative (financially) to both insurance carriers, as well as clinics who perform abortion, paid by either insurance or the taxpayer, to the tune of billions of dollars when one calculates the cost per abortion and the numbers being performed. Contraception is not the real issue – it’s the stepping stone to the abortion issue.
What drives these committed ideologues over the ledge? (Including the Obama campaign)?
Ann Romney.
And the millions of ordinary women, of all race and ethnic origins, regardless of political affiliation, who have children, and would prefer that one start talking about more important issues: the economy, and the deplorable state of education in the nation that once led the war (pre-1970’s and pre-teachers unions).
Hysterical: The left is now complaining that the “war on women” came from the Republican’s – it’s all about politics – however, review above on Rick Santorum, a Republican candidate, good Santorum and War and Women, and try and find a reference to a Republican citing the phrase “war on women” – unless of course it was in response to some Democrat “strategist” (MSNBC’s crew) flipping out on this new “war on women”.
