NOW President: Ann Romney Lacks 'Life Experience' And 'Imagination'

TERRY O'NEILL: What would we be saying if Hillary Clinton [sic] had said this: that Ann Romney has never, has not worked for pay outside the home a day in her life? That's my understanding that's an accurate statement, and that raises the exact issue that Hilary Rosen was trying to get to, which is do Mr. & Mrs. Romney have the kind of life experience and if not, the imagination, to really understand what most American families are going through right now? I think that that was what Hilary was getting out, and so she left out the words "for pay outside the home."

Remember when feminism meant supporting the choices of women and defending them from being marginalized and demeaned?

I love the lefty media running with the idea that the Romneys don't have a clue about what it is like to struggle in life. Think Mitt had his millions when he spent 2 years as a missionary?

I am doing well right now, but that doesn't mean I don't remember the days of eating fake cheese and parking my car in backwards because I couldn't afford new tags. And I suspect Mitt and Ann remember those times too.

Working as a missionary for the Mormon Church is is a spartan life, but it's not struggling. They were supported by the church.

Mitt came from a multi-millionaire family. I doubt he ever had to worry about out of date license plate tags.

It doesn't matter one iota if the Romney's ate fake cheese or grew up with an outhouse behind their house, you cannot divide peoples personal experiences and life ideologies into convenient buckets just because they became successful and wealthy. The left does that all the time, even though their political party has more than it's fair share of filthy rich supporters. It's "class warfare" plain and simple no matter how many times they decline that appellation.

Here's the big-bad-rich-isolated-from-the-"little people"-Ann-Romeny

While Massachusetts First Lady, she was active in teenage pregnancy prevention efforts.[27] In 2004, she said she was in favor of stem cell research as long as it was done "morally and ethically".[21] One of her rare public appearances at the Massachusetts State House came in 2004 when she lobbied the legislature to raise awareness about multiple sclerosis.[28]

In 2005, the governor appointed his wife as head of a new special office whose purpose was to help the state's faith-based groups gain more federal monies in association with the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.[29] This came after the state had seen its share of faith-based grants decline over the preceding three years.[30] In this unpaid Governor's Liaison position,[17][29] Ann Romney was termed a "dynamo" by Jim Towey, director of the White House office.[30]

She has been involved in a number of children's charities, including being director of the inner city-oriented Best Friends.[17] She worked extensively with the Ten Point Coalition in Boston and with other groups that promoted better safety and opportunities for urban youths.[31] She was given the 2006 Lifetime Achievement Award from Salt Lake City-based Operation Kids.[32] She has also served as a board member for the United Way of America[17] and helped found United Way Faith and Action.[31]

At the conclusion of her time as Massachusetts First Lady, Romney said that the role "doesn't need to change your life at all. I think it's an opportunity for service and an opportunity to see people of all walks of life from across the Commonwealth.... It's an enriching part of your life [and one will] treasure it forever."[33] Her health was still a primary factor in family decisions about her husband's career, and Mitt said in 2005 that if her multiple sclerosis flared up, "I wouldn't be involved in politics anymore; that would be over." [34]

Yea... so she's swimming in money, that doesn't preclude her worth from charitable work. What would the left prefer? It's dishonest for Lady Jazzer, JSG, Something the Dog Dragged In, Archer and the other liberals on this forum to assume to read the minds and claim to know if Ann Romney's life events did or did not give Ann an insight to the plight of her fellow humans. They snipe and gripe from their ivory toilets and have built their arguments on a base of wet toilet paper.

Yeah, when you have a father who was the CEO of American Motors (and later Governor of Michigan), and a million-dollar trust fund, and guaranteed entrance into Harvard, I'm sure it's comforting to think back "on the hard times."

You're batting zero this week JSG...

Mormon missionaries serve voluntarily, not receiving any salary from the church for their work, typically supporting themselves financially or through assistance from family. Many young Mormons save money during their teenage years to afford missionary expenses when they are so called.

And thanks for admitting that they live a spartan life. I'm waiting to see how you try to finesse your statement. JGS... The BackTrack Champ of 285 Bound.

Wow, they typically support themselves "through assistance through family." The multi-millionaire dad family? THAT family?

That's the American Dream... you evidently haven't attained it. I suggest stop coveting what your fellow American has and get you ass in gear. I bet everything that has happened in your life has been someone else's fault... right?

You were wrong again. You said the church supports them. Why don't you do a little research before you shoot off your mouth?

The fact remains.

Like I said. You want Thurston Howell III for president, have at it. Prove to people someone can buy their way into the presidency.
