Totally out of touch

[EE_]

Romney and the Repugnant's are totally out of touch with America, and I'm loving it!

This latest battle over Romey taking economic advice from his kept women, that has never had to earn a buck in her life...is killing any hope for this .05%'er to beat Obama.

Understand, I have no problem at all with stay at home moms...in fact, I wish we as a society, could go back in time to mother's staying at home to raise children...but that is not how the world works today.
The majority of American women have to work and raise a family at the same time. Talk about hard work!
In fact, more women today are the breadwinners of families then ever before in history.

These hard working mothers should be given an award for the great feat they undertake daily!

I'm watching the Repugs try to spin this into some kind of an attack on women by the Democraps and a good thing for the Republican party...make me laugh! Yeah, having Ann Romney in the White House will be great for real American women. (sarcasm)

Maybe they should take a look at the only viable candidate left standing? RON PAUL!

Ann Romney’s Mommy War Becomes GOP Rallying Cry in Record Time

After a brutal year of female-alienating policy debates, the GOP has settled on a message it apparently thinks will appease the ladies: "Don't Let Barack Obama & Democrats Insult Women, MOMS DO WORK!" The mug-friendly slogan is, of course, an outgrowth of Ann Romney's war against left-leaning pundit Hilary Rosen, who said last night that Ann "never worked a day in her life."

Two problems: First, Hilary Rosen has no tie to Obama and questionable ties to the DNC. Second, though Rosen's "never worked a day" soundbite is pretty painful, it was presented in the context of Mitt saying that he uses Ann for advice on women and the economy. It's true that Mitt's claim was misguided—not because Ann "never worked a day in her life," but because Ann has spent her adult life in an extremely atypical economic reality that involves spending more money on her fleet of dressage horses than plenty of people spend on their children.

Of course, just because the GOP's mommy message is nonsensical doesn't mean it won't get repeated ad nauseum every time a female Republican is near a microphone, ever. Maybe Ann Romney will be Mitt's saving grace, after all. [GOP.com, Weigel, Politico, images via Getty, GOP.com]

Off Topic, but White women will get Obongo re-elected, and this is why women and people that don't own property should NOT be allowed to vote.

This is a lie. Rosen has been to the White House 35 times! She is obviously a clandestine Obama/DNC operative. They kept it quiet to maintain plausable deniability, like the sneaky Bolshevik infiltrators that they are. I'm no fan of Romney, but this is a subtle political misinformation piece written by pro-Obama minions and trying to sound objective.

It doesn't matter whether it's Obama or Romney: both are equally bad.

Republicans: Quick, we need a diversion from the Mommy War thing...let's scare Americans and say Obama is going to take their guns!

Mitt Romney warns NRA against an 'unrestrained' second-term Obama
April 13, 2012, 12:17 p.m.

Reporting from St. Louis— Mitt Romney drew a warm reception from the National Rifle Assn. on Friday as he attacked President Obama for “employing every imaginable ruse and ploy” to restrict gun rights, which Romney pledged not to do if elected in November.

Although gun control groups have complained that Obama has done little to support their cause, Romney took a page from the NRA leadership, which has been saying that the president is waiting for a second term to crack down on firearms. He warned that Obama would “remake” the Supreme Court in a second term, threatening constitutional freedoms.

“In a second term, he would be unrestrained by the demands of re-election,” Romney told a crowd estimated at 6,000 in the cavernous Edward Jones Dome. “As he told the Russian president last month when he thought no one else was listening, after a re-election he’ll have a lot more, quote, 'flexibility' to do what he wants. I’m not exactly sure what he meant by that, but looking at his first three years, I have a very good idea.”

Referring specifically to the right to bear arms, Romney said: “If we are going to safeguard our 2nd Amendment, it is time to elect a president who will defend the rights President Obama ignores or minimizes. I will.”

Romney’s speech came at the NRA’s Leadership Forum, which always draws top conservative speakers. Also expected to speak Friday were three of Romney’s former rivals for the GOP nomination, former Sen. Rick Santorum, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, as well as a panoply of other Republican stars, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sens. Chuck Grassley and Roy Blunt, and Rep. Darrell Issa.

Most of the other speakers could claim a friendlier history with the NRA than Romney, who supported strict gun control measures as governor of Massachusetts and once said he didn’t “line up” with the gun rights group. But the NRA leadership has thrown its weight behind Romney, whom it sees as preferable to Obama, and Romney received several standing ovations during his speech.

Although Obama has not been responsible for any notable gun control measures, the organization has been sharply critical of some of his appointments, especially that of Eric Holder as attorney general.

Before Romney spoke, the NRA’s legislative director, Chris Cox, showed a video clip that he said depicted a Holder speech from 1995. In it, the future attorney general spoke about the need to "really brainwash people to think about guns in a vastly different way."

"So let's state this in very clear terms,” Cox said. “President Obama needs to fire Eric Holder, and in November, we need to fire the president."

Even before Romney’s speech, the Obama campaign hit back with a statement attacking the presumptive GOP nominee, along with a hefty file of news clippings intended to show that he had a checkered history on gun rights.

“The president's record makes clear the he supports and respects the 2nd amendment, and we'll fight back against any attempts to mislead voters,” said campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt. “Mitt Romney is going to have difficulty explaining why he quadrupled fees on gun owners in Massachusetts then lied about being a lifelong hunter in an act of shameless pandering. That varmint won't hunt.”

Outside the convention hall, a half-dozen or so soggy union-affiliated demonstrators stood in the rain holding signs that said: “Romney: 100% out of touch.”

“We’re basically here to expose Romney as a flip-flopper with the NRA,” said Ed McNees, president of UAW Local 282 in St. Louis. “In ’94, he was for the Brady bill and against assault weapons … and now he’s a newly found supporter of the NRA.”

With McNees was Steve Johnson, a local Teamsters organizer, who said Romney “doesn’t look like anybody who hangs out at any of the places I might hunt.” Leaders of the UAW and the Teamsters have pledged full support to Obama in the 2012 campaign, although both McNees and Johnson insisted that they were there as gun enthusiasts, not Obama supporters.

I disagree, Obama is worse, but better to get the revolution going sooner.
With Romney, they can extend and pretend a little longer as they grind us down.

This latest battle over Romey taking economic advice from his kept women, that has never had to earn a buck in her life...is killing any hope for this .05%'er to beat Obama.

As lackluster and uninspiring as Romney is, he has more than a .05% chance of beating Obama.

A good chance? Slim Chance? Fat chance?

We can't say now. In fact, even speculating is difficult.

The number are all over. and yes, the female support for Obama is rather high at the moment.

Add the electoral college - which is ALL that matters.

Will Obama get PA, FL, VA, Indiana, OH, again? I've haven't seen the number in those states, but we still have a 6 1/2 months away. That, is a political lifetime.

Obama will NOT get the high youth turnout this time, and the all-important Independents are likely not strongly in BO's camp.

That said, I think Obama and Romney both stink.

I'll be voting Libertarian as usual.

Just for clarification, I think this post was meant to say that Mittens is part of the "0.5%", as in the top half of the "1%", vs. the "99%".

Anybody that gives money to the NRA deserves to have their guns stripped.

Mass has some of the strictest gun laws on planet earth and the NRA supports the cheif archeitect?

Every piece of restrictive gun laws was passed with the full blessing of the NRA NICS checks waiting periods etc

it is one side of the Hegalian Dialect.
