did you want to puke when Ann Romney was talking about their early married days when they were supposedly poor? All I could think was you fucking pampered piece of shit! Both these people had all the resources and advantages than anyone could think of. Not at any time in their lives did they ever fear being on the street or not having something to cook for dinner. Her whole speech sounded plastic to me...but maybe I am just biased! How about some concern for those less fortunate than yourself? How about doing something to uplift the voiceless and those who have no voice of advocacy...all I heard was just a bunch of arrogant, self serving bullshit!!!

Being away from her family, sure.
Struggling economically... not so much.
Ann should try to raise a kid while hubby is deployed while on food stamps.

(154,021 posts)I shared a lot of my early marriage years... you know the Navy wife, of an E-3, who was on food stamps and I took her part on the they need soap at the boat because Halliburton has no clue how to do supply in theater, or toilet paper... or batteries. No, I am not kidding. She was in tears. It came out of the special chief's fund... aka what should have gone into savings that month.

Ann, what's really tough is when you face these problems with no insurance.
Now there's a real testament to character--when you can survive republican policies and come out alive with no insurance.

(25,415 posts)to talk about the advantages they have in life and being real with people instead of trying to pretend they ever had economic struggles. Wealth does not make one a Repub as we have had the Kennedys and the Roosevelts prove. But Mitt never seemed to use what he was given to help others.
