Why does the left so despise Ann Romney?

As First Lady of Massachusetts, she served as the governor's liaison for federal faith-based initiatives. She was involved in a number of children's charities, including Operation Kids, and was an active participant in her husband's 2008 presidential run, where she became the most visible of all the Republican candidates' wives in campaigning. She has continued campaigning on her husband's behalf during his 2012 presidential bid.

A stay-at-home mother,[25] Romney raised the family's five boys (born between 1970 and 1981).[16] She faced criticism from her parents over her decision to marry and start a large family so young.[15] She also felt snubbed by her peers, at a time when the feminist movement was blooming and educated women were establishing careers.[15] She later said, "My parents were questioning my choices, my peers were. But [...] I was pretty resolute, pretty confident in what I was doing."[15] She taught early morning seminary to them and other children[25] while her husband pursued his career, first in business, then in politics.[26] She wanted to go on for a master's degree, perhaps in art history, but first taking care of her children, and later her health issues, forestalled that.[23][15] She was active in the localPTA and with the League of Women Voters.[27] With a friend, she held local cooking classes for a brief period.[11][15] Naturally athletic, she began playing tennis and became one of the best players around the local country clubs.[15]

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 indressage as an adult amateur at the national level and competed professionally in Grand Prix as well. In 2008, she was also diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ, a non-invasive type of breast cancer. She underwent a lumpectomy in December of the same year and has since been cancer-free.


She sounds REALLY horrible doesn't she.....

    Again, why are you stuck on religion? But since you mentioned obama being a Christian, what leads you to believe he is? For in the book of Galations, I believe, Jesus tells us that we shall KNOW someone's faith by their actions! He calls them the Fruits of The Spirit!

    obama is VERY quick to denounce Christian values and will even ATTACK Christians as being...... bitter! ".... they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations!" obama said that!

    Does that sound like a Christian to you?

    You are taking his words out of context...he used them in a speech to prosperous Californians to explain some of the frustrated feelings of small town Pennsylvanians..since there is a world of difference between the two. He visited some old mining an mill towns..I live in Pittsburgh, by the way...and he was struck at how our industries hadn't been replaced but how we still manage..and was trying to explain the mind set of some people...other administrations had promised to do this and that and it never happened..thankfully, now the oil and gas industry is big around here. So, yes, he does sound like a true Christian..he sounds like he was trying to understand the frustrations some people feel and face everyday..more than I can say for Romney..more than I can say for conservatives Christians..who could care less if people get laid off and lose their health care and get sick without coverage..

    I m quite sure Im much older and wiser than you (no offens), for I take NOTHING out of context! I see obama for what he is... a man who will say anything to appease those he is in front of! Did he not tell conservative Christians in California he believe marriage was "between one man and one woman?" You live in Western PA and think that obama supports you newly found Gas and Oil reserves? HA.... he is against you and against carbon energy to the extent he wishes to TAX it 35% of gross revenues!

    I'm quite sure you are a very, very decent and kind person to look at the "positives" of those who you truly wish to be true! But obama is NOT a supporter of your newly found resources in oil and gas... just as he is totally against your neighbors to your west and south in Clean Coal Technology!

    May I suggest you do some research and get away from the delusions of this crazy Democrat LOVE you've been raised up by! For this NEW Democrat party is NOT for you, nor anyone who loves this country!

    That's the EXACT point of the entire thing! I'm just betting that Liberals go to school to learn these things! For they, like obama, see that the MILLIONS of dollars obama has spent on Bain Capital ads has not moved the voters one inch! They're desparate.... and I smell a sweet, sweet VICTORY come Novemeber! :)

    I brought it up because I believe it does matter. A person's religion obviously represents their core beliefs. If not then maybe you wouldn't mind electing a satanist? If Mormons believe women should be in the background somewhere being subordinate to men and the Romney's are true believers in that philosophy then on some fundamental levels we don't agree and their religion and they, themselves, do not represent me. A lot of religious interpretations have changed with the times..Mormonism is still backward in some regards..and...I ABSOLUTELY disagree with the idea that mormons should be able to bother me at HOME. I don't like people pushing their religion down my throats..I respect our differences...I don't agree but I respect that..I won't come on their porch..and they should stay off of mine.

    The church of LDS does Proselytize - that was my point. I was being a smart ass when I said I wished they'd come to her door trying to convert her day and night..why take everything so literally? I swear the right side of a conservatives brain stops functioning..it was kind of funny..lol...I wished it on her because she's an ass and because it's annoying to no end to have someone trying to sell their religion to you as if it's superior to your own..like a car salesman trying to get you to trade up..tacky and annoying...everyone around here hates to see them coming..and pretend they aren't home..we even warn each other when we know they are in the area - and that, in and of itself, is bullsh*t. If there is separation of church and state..then clearly they should separate themselves from my front door - unannounced no less...ridiculous. That was my point - Mormons are free to worship who and how they want..I respect that..and they need to respect the fact that I can drive to their church if I feel compelled to learn more about it..I don't preach on their doorstep..I don't agree with the idea that women are subordinates and I don't think they should be going door to door. It's really not that difficult to understand.

    You called her opinion ridiculous, you called her jealous -- and you're surprised she didn't say "Thank you"?

    Sometimes when people get attacked they fight back.

    You can never control how someone reacts to what you say or do.

    You attacked, she fought back -- and you don't like the way she fought.

    At least Mormons don't stone their women or mutilate them. Mormons don't believe if you're not a Mormon then you should die. The only women that can't relate to other women are muslims.

    My son went to school with a boy whose family is Mormon. Very nice kid and very nice family. The mom and dad could certainly relate to "the rest of us." and I find your comment bigoted, judgmental, and short sighted. As it happens, the family I'm speaking of got hit by the economic crisis just as bad as some others I've known even though they were a decent, hardworking, nice family. Until then, they were both working, middle class Americans like the rest of us who were very active in and generous toward their community.

    What other religions might be oppressive and hold draconian views against the rights of women, pray tell?

    Mormon's are individuals just like the rest of us..good and bad..the same is true for people of all religions. I am quite sure you knew a great Mormon family..who suffered during the recession the same way a lot of us did...Did the wife work, though? That may have helped their situation. Whatever..their choice. There are plenty of wonderful people with ideas and beliefs that are different than mine..whose core beliefs are different than mine. Many of the fundamental beliefs that Mormon's share are different than mine. My beliefs are mine...we do not all believe the same things..it's called cultural diversity and freedom of religion...I embrace that..but I don't pretend to be represented by every aspect of every culture..I am not represented by the Mormon religion..we have fundamentally different views..especially in regard to subordination, however, I respect their view..I do not adhere to it...I would never try to challenge their religion or to think I could change their values or beliefs..I embrace our differences..it's not as though I would knock on their door and point out how superior my beliefs are - that is something that mormon's do.
