The title of the thread is Democrats Declare "War on Moms".
Nobody said anything about taking away rights.
Hilary Rosen knew what she was saying.
She has been in the business for a long time.
She is attacking women who stay home and take care of the kids. That is outrageous!

She did make a ridiculous statement....stupid....I agree. My wife and I made a choice years ago that I would work and she would take care of our kids. This was OUR CHOICE. It worked. We didn't have a glamorous life. We struggled often. But we made it. Both of my kids are now in college. So....is that a win?...I think so. Do I have a bundle in the bank?...lol...not even close!
I think our kids came out better because their care giver was someone that actually gave a #...not an institutional worker that saw one kid just like the next....a burden to tend to for a shift.
I dislike this whole conversation because a part of me feels it is a distraction.....a distraction from what matters....freedom and independence.....to do what we as individuals need to do to survive and succeed....and it is different for each and everyone of us.
I hate crap like this. We are discussing a couple of poor comments like it matters and what matters is why the cronies keep on winning and the Gov just keeps on getting bigger....I am sorry folks but I think a ton of people out there just don't have a f'ing clue.

By the way...while are discussing this Democrat war on women the GOP is moving along further cutting women's rights.

So not only are they cutting women's reproductive rights, they are now also against equal pay. I'm sure that'll bring them a lot of women votes in the coming election

Why did Hilary Rosen start a War on Moms?
Even Gov. Sarah Palin says Hilary Rosen has awoken mothers all across America!
This is a disaster for David Axelrod.
His GOP War on Women is just another phony war.
--------
David Axelrod has zero credibility.

A distraction? Funny you should mention that.
The personal attack on Ann Romney was intended to distract attention away from
Obamas 2 Achilles heels.
1) High Price of Gas
2) High Unemployment Rate
Luckily, it has turned into a way for Romney to sell $6 bumper stickers.
My new hero. - Hilary Rosen -

There never was a war on moms. It has nothing to do with moms. It has nothing to do with MS or breast cancer. It has to do with WOMEN. It has to do with women and their economic issues. It has to do with Ann Romney not having any economic issues, i.e., she has never had to worry about economic issues. Therefore she has no personal experience with the worries of economic issues. Therefore she is not the best person to listen to about women and economic issues.
This was Hillary Rosen's point. Get it??

if ann romney was just your average poor women, with ms and fighting breast cancer, you would be treating her like crap and trying to take away the programs that kept her alive, complaining how she was too lazy to work, too dumb to plan, and too stupid to take care of herself....

And with even more fairness in mind, let's take a look at Ann Romney.
Read this real close Ms. Rosen !!! You vermin scumbag, and then tell us some more about family values.
Ann was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998 and has credited a mixture of mainstream and alternative treatments with giving her a lifestyle mostly without limitations. In one of those activities, equestrianism, she has consequently received recognition in dressage as an adult amateur at the national level and competing professionally in Grand Prix as well. In 2008, she was also diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a non-invasive type of breast cancer. She underwent a lumpectomy in December of the same year and has since been cancer-free.
She and husband Mitt have five children, born between 1970 and 1981.
Ann Romney
Anything else, Ms Rosen ?? You dirtball.
ETA: Hilary Rosen is Garbage ... pure vermin.
Absolutely Perfect for the Obama den of iniquity

This is such a load of extreme crapola. I'm not Democrat but the Republicans are so panicked about how badly they fair with women they are grasping at straws.
This lady that made the comments is just a "democratic strategist" and doesn't even work with the POTUS re-election campaign. She had an opinion. Have you always had opinions that everyone in the world agrees with? I'm going to guess....erm....NO.
Personally, I think it was a stupid thing to say but guess what? This is the USA and she is entitled to say whatever she wants. Does she represent all democrats because she is a democrat? That is a retarded thing to say and believe. Does she represent all women because she is a woman? Absolutely not...
The repubs know without the women vote...they lose and their draconian policies removing a woman's rights to choose and get medical treatment is what got them in this boat. They are desperate and will say any stupid thing in the world to try to dodge the storm of bullets they are under.
I personally hope for a really solid third party candidate. The "two party system" is a joke...they are two wings of the same bird of prey and they have both failed the American people.
but that being said...people need to stop acting like horse's @sses. One person, speaking without the consensus of a group....DOES NOT represent that group. That is like saying all men age 30 to 50 are alcoholics because one man steps up and admits to it. It's stupid.edit on 4/13/2012 by Damrod because: (no reason given)

I predict there will be no more attacks on Ann Romney.
Obama has declared her - off limits -.

I guess it's back to the Buffet Tax which solves nothing.
No more attacks are necessary, it has that snowball affect, the exact same thing they did to Palin and her family
Plant the seed of hate.

The PR firm that is spinning Talking Points for the Republican Party and faxing them off to Fox News would like you to believe so.

Wrong again. The president is solely responsible for the high price of gas. Nancy Pelosi
taught me that during the entire Bush 8 year term in office. Listen for yourself.
PS. I already sent Nancy Pelosi a thank you note.
People say "Oh well Europe pays twice what we do"....that's because they tax the P!ss out of it to pay for things. You think our gas taxes are high?...Oh man...just do some homework on European and Great Britain gasoline taxes.

This!!!
People should look at Sweden's tax system. I bet most conservatives would get an insta-heart-attack. In reality, Sweden has one of the highest standards of living in the world and better education than the US...but according to the current GOP candidates Sweden is clearly a communist country
