I'm finding myself disliking Ann Romney almost as much as Mittens

[book_worm]

She called the controversy over the comment that she hasn't worked a day in her life as an 'early gift' (today is her birthday). I still believe that a major point could be made that she and Mittens don't understand the struggles of working moms. Let's face it, being a stay home mom is hard work--definitely!--but Ann Romney isn't fooling anybody. She didn't do it alone. She had lots of help with maids and (perhaps) nannies when raising her kids. Most working women don't have that kind of help.

1. I agree and I also think this business

of "being a birthday present" will backfire on them. I think they are both clueless.

[earthside]

2. I'm with you.

I find her smug ... and, frankly, with the demeanor one would expect from someone who has lived her entire life as part of the one percent.

[Daniel537]

3. She seems like a nice lady to me.

Of course i don't know her so i can't be sure, but its a political year so people will say things that will anger people on all sides.

[mzteris]

4. I read an old interview

where she used to sit on the piano bench with her boys and "pinch their necks" to make the practice.

Nice lady. uh-huh.

[SpencerShay]

5. "She seems like a nice lady to me."

The standards for "nice ladies" must be really low where you come from.

[Daniel537]

17. I guess. I mean, it is South Florida. n/t

[book_worm]

6. would a 'nice lady' condone putting a dog (family pet) on top of a moving car?

[Daniel537]

21. Who knows? n/t

[Wind Dancer]

41. I know!

"Nice" people don't put dogs on top of their cars for travel........... ever.

It's not rocket science.

[rufus dog]

43. any person with a half ounce of common sense

who knows! get the fuck out of here.

[HangOnKids]

10. A Nice Lady Would NOT Be Married To Mittens

She is as big a malignant narcissist as he is. Peas in a pod.

W+Laura = Shitbirds
Sarah+Todd = Shitbirds
McCain+Cindy= Shitbirds
Poppy+Babs= Shitbirds
Rove+his hand= Shitbirds

Just a few examples.

[Daniel537]

20. Why not? Opposites attract all the time. Nothing new there. n/t

[Tom Ripley]

14. Bless her heart

[TBF]

16. my view exactly! nt

[Daniel537]

19. Agreed. n/t

[HangOnKids]

30. I Don't Think That Means What You Think It Does

In parts of the USA that means "fuck her." Just sayin'.

[Stuckinthebush]

39. Ouch! +100

The worst Southern insult known to humankind!

[just1voice]

46. Oh sure, a "nice lady" who would torture people, LOL

That Hitler seemed like such a nice guy too, LMFAO!

[butterfly77]

7. When you watch them on stage..

he always looks like a wimp and she looks like she wears the pants in the family and is the dominant personality in the relationship..

[gratuitous]

8. Well sure it's an early birthday present

See, when the substance of the nontroversy doesn't affect you in any way, it's just a lark. So much fun to see your name in the papers, and the teevee people are all so nice about getting your hair and makeup just right. Of course, it's not quite so much fun for the impoverished folks she's looking down on, but then the poor are so déclassé anyway, don't you agree?

[DebbieCDC]

9. I'm sure her mind is just as beautiful as Battleax Barbara Boosh's is

[AnotherMother4Peace]

22. Good one - 2 birds of a feather. They both have one set of rules for the 1%, & one for the 99%ers

Different standards for Moms; different standards for tax obligations; for debt management; for education; the list goes on and on.

Yes - I'm beginning to dislike her more and more - Just like I dislike the person who seeks to jeopardize the health, wealth, and welfare of my family.

[mzteris]

11. how dare she compare herself to

SAHM's who AREN'T rich with six houses - and they lived in the GOVERNORS MANSION! Don't tell me they didn't have servants there.

REAL SAHM's don't have chauffers and people to do the yard and cooks and god knows what else.

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. Every time she opens her mouth, the hole gets deeper.

Self-absorbed, entitled shrew. I have zero respect for that type. Let her try to get out there and make it in this world without "cashing in stock to make it through college" and then I might reconsider.

[libodem]

15. And the foot goes in further

[HangOnKids]

32. Foot In Mouth and Head Up Ass Typical GOPer n/t

[bec]

13. I started dislike her when

I found out she allowed her husband to baptize her deceased father, even though her dad was against it when he was alive.

[GoCubsGo]

26. Same here.

Baptizing dead people is pretty warped as it is. But, to do something like that to her own father is beyond the pale.

I don't know how I'm going to make it to November having to listen to these two spewing their smug, dishonest puke.

[Fumesucker]

36. I hadn't heard that.. Thanks.. n/t

[LynneSin]

18. If Ann was smart she would have made one comment about working at home and then shut her mouth

The more she talks the more people recognize that this is a woman of extreme wealth who has no clue what working moms and most stay-at-home moms struggle with day-to-day. Add to the fact that Mitt wants to force moms on welfare to work adds to the fact that Ann really is fucking up Mitt's attempts to reach out to women.

[JEB]

23. The only place this woman has callusses

is on her heart. She works hard counting piles of money, figuring how to not pay taxes and deciding which Cadillac to drive. I swear money is the gateway drug to total delusion.

[Pirate Smile]

24. Just like Mitt, the more you know her, the less you like her.

[patricia92243]

25. Yep - to know her is to not like her. She is as bad about saying stupid stuff as her husband. n/t

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

27. I said this very thing this morning...

"Can't figure out who I dislike more: her or her husband. Here's yet another example of the privileged, snobbish, wealthy elite who think they are entitled to everything they won't. They think they can just buy people off like they buy a pair of Manolos!!"

[demgrrrll]

28. She lsot me with that comment. I did have some empathy for her illnesses and still do but like all

Republicans they just don't know when to quit.

[PatSeg]

34. For people like this,

empathy appears to be a one way street.

[Fumesucker]

29. Bless her heart.. n/t

[Canuckistanian]

31. Quite the snarky comment she made

And about a very serious subject.

And this is a woman who wants to be the First Lady?

[PatSeg]

33. I was just thinking the same thing

I still think she presents herself in public much better than her husband, but in her own way, she appears to be as clueless as Mitt.

When these people open their mouths, they insult me, my children, and most of the people I know.

[abelenkpe]

35. She's totally out of touch

And I'm sorry being a working mom is far more difficult. I'm lucky to be able to spend a couple months each year not working home with my kids and it is far easier than when I'm working. As far as I'm concerned Ann Romney can kiss my fucking ass. She is clueless. And I do fault her and her husband for their double standards. I see, working class mothers are lazy and setting a horrible example for their kids if they stay home but wealthy people are above reproach and doing the best for their kids when they stay home. Romneys are privileged fools. I dare them to live a week in my shoes and still think the same idiotic bullshit.

[Fuddnik]

37. The Romneys don't understand anything about working people.

[demtenjeep]

38. she strikes me as the mean vengeful

better than everyone else type.

Kind of like "Hilly" from "The Help"

[Jamaal510]

42. Perfect fit for the Republican party.

[jp11]

40. I retract what I said about her maybe not being as bad as Mitt in that thread where someone

asked if her having cancer or MS changed my view of her.

[Bryn]

44. Don't forget her "Listen and Obey" thing .... eeeewwwww!

Ann Romney said “Listen and Obey” to introduce her husband... as if he's a god. Disgusting!

It seems to me the rich thinks they should order us around. She and Mitts both are not fit for 'of the people, by the people, for the people' stuff. They have proven to us over and over that they understand NOTHING... and should stay away from politics. They can sit around admiring their polished silverware for all I care...in their own 5 or 6 homes, away from us the people.

[Raine]

45. She should stick to her riding her imported French horses and not show her unlikableness by opening

her big mouth.
