Politics got personal on Wednesday when Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen accused Mitt Romney's wife, Ann Romney, of having "never worked a day in her life." It moved Mrs. Romney to send her first tweet ever ("I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work"), setting off a debate over the decision to work or stay home. But The Christian Science Monitor is calling it a "fake" debate.
Ann told Fox News, "[Rosen] should have come to my house when those five boys were causing so much trouble, it wasn’t so easy. My career choice was to be a mother. And I think all of us need to know that we need to respect the choices that women make. Other women make other choices to have a career and raise a family, which I think Hilary Rosen has actually done herself. I respect that, that's wonderful... We have to respect women in all those choices that they make."
But Rosen is sticking to her guns, and responded to the criticism in a CNN editorial: "I have no judgments about women who work outside the home versus women who work in the home raising a family. I admire women who can stay home and raise their kids full time. I even envy them sometimes. It is a wonderful luxury to have the choice. But let's stipulate that it is not a choice that most women have in America today." We're not sure if Hilary Rosen or Ann Romney wins this debate, but that's not really the point. Do you think these kinds of feuds are real -- or just manufactured to get a vote in politics?

In South Florida we call my expressions Espanglish.
Is that Dan Marino or the new T-bone guy in your pic?
It is OK with you the Marlins Stadium?; would think is a nightmare to drive by there during the games.. I know it was not easy before.
People like that however, do not necessarily advance other less fortunate people. We know that they would like to have those privileges themselves only. I have been the target of persecution by similar people of various political persuasions for years, and I can tell you that is difficult to handle. I lost my apartment, my car, my job, my mother.. the only thing left to loose is my life. I don't think their debate is ludicrous but the wrong words are used. How could they say what they really mean I wonder. "Them rich people will n...
People like that however, do not necessarily advance other less fortunate people. We know that they would like to have those privileges themselves only. I have been the target of persecution by similar people of various political persuasions for years, and I can tell you that is difficult to handle. I lost my apartment, my car, my job, my mother.. the only thing left to loose is my life. I don't think their debate is ludicrous but the wrong words are used. How could they say what they really mean I wonder. "Them rich people will never know what a pain in the ass it is to be near do wells." "I'm sorry, I know I'm at a disadvantage in this debate, because I'm a few and you are many. I have experience some inconveniences... Let me see... The boys were always boys and that was trying at times."
Do we really need this kind of debating? Wouldn't it be nice if they gave us some real issues. For instance: What can women look forward to in the area of outmoded, current, and future practices regarding medicine? Will a bunch or rich women (unlike Mrs, Romney hopefully) continue to claim that they really are men in order to make others sick. Will there be real respect for the sanctity of human life during her husband's administration? Or will all the lines be erased except when abortion is discussed? Will sweet, revered, elderly people be murdered by intentional malpractice and other new developments? Will young people become instantly elderly to pay for their living expenses?
We need to know these things to make informed voting decisions.
Obama 2023
I’m sure given the fact that you evidently are incapable of even spelling p-r-o-f-e-s-s-o-r, you surely would not be able to comprehend that it is indeed a career.
He was a tenured lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, however.
However he was a Constitutional Law PROFESSOR at the University of Chicago Law School from 92-04.
And in any event his current role is that of Commander in Chief of the United States of America where he serves at the most powerful leader in the world.
Like I said. A matter of semantics.
"However, on this matter the University of Chicago Law School itself is not standing on formality, and is siding with Obama:
From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School."
So, again, as I said, semantics.
You're right... not tenured. That was an unintentional misrepresentation on my part. He was, for all intents and purposes an untenured professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School.
Not in total, no. I was tired of ultra right wing "leadership" in the person of GW. Bush. I was tired of the trampling of our civil rights under his regime (though Obama hasn't done much about the most egregious of those, the Patriot Act). I was sick and damn tired of the slow decline of this country back toward pro-robber baron economic policies.
Am I 100% happy with Obama's administration? Nope. He hasn't done everything he's said he was going to do. He's done some of it and that makes me happy, but he hasn't done enough yet.
"BTW look at the numbers it was far from the entire country."
Yeah it was. People were deeply disillusioned with Republican leadership. We can post links to various different statistics, but the only thing you need to look at is the three successive elections that gave Democrats the Congress and the Presidency.
THERE IS NO WAR ON WOMEN, except the MANUFACTURED ONES by the DEMOCRATS. Iif anyone should point the finger at anyone as to starting this WAR, and are MAD, the finger of guilt should point at obama, he used the WOMEN of OUR COUNTRY just like ISLAM treats their women, USE THEM , ABUSE THEM and ENSLAVE THEM.
I assume his merry band of RACERS and RACE PIMPS and ISLAMIC and COMMIE FRIENDS are devising and hatching another EVIL PLAN, to either get the majority of the women's vote and if not, then they will go onto another line in to the women, or divert and blame the CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN MALE , THE REAL REPUBLICAN and EGALITARIAN CAPITALISTS for something, they will find the one issue that will casue RIOTS to break out, OH THEY DID ALREADY, with Zimmerman issue, just waiting from orders from the PINK HOUSE in DC.....I WANT TO SAY, GOING UP AS AN LIBERAL ACTIVIST and CONVERTING TO SANITY, IT IS SO SAD for the PROGRAMMED and INCOTRINATED YOUNG WOMEN who buy this WHOOEY from these RACERS, RACE PIMPS, COMMUNISTIC and SOCIALISTIC CONTROL FREAKS..so sad, you are their SLAVES and aren't even aware..I GUESS IGNORANCE IS BLISS, until you hit the SCOLDING HOT WATER...
