again.
KWQC TV6: "Here in Iowa, as you know, same-sex marriage is legal. Do you believe a lesbian mother should be allowed to marry her partner?"
Ann Romney: "You know, I'm not going to talk about the specific issues. I'm going to let my husband speak on issues. I'm here to really just talk about my husband and what kind of husband and father he is and, you know, those are hot-button issues that distract from what the real voting issue is going to be at this election. That, it's going to be about the economy and jobs."
And, frankly, the President said four years ago that if he doesn't turn this economy around he's going to be looking at a one-term presidency. And I frankly believe that Mitt is the person that is so going to be focused on jobs and job creation and making sure that women's economic prosperity is more certain and by the way their children's future is because as we all know we're facing this debt crisis. Sometime, somewhere, somehow someone's going to have to pay off these debts, and it's going to be our children. And we have to, it's getting to be a desperate situation. We will be looking at a Greece-like situation or a Spain situation if we don't address these issues very quickly."
KWQC TV6: "Do you believe that employer-provided health insurance should be required to cover birth control?"
Ann Romney: "Again, you're asking me questions that are not about what this election is going to be about. This election is going to be about the economy and jobs."
KWQC TV6: "Well, a Pew research poll shows those issues are very important to women, ranking them either "important" or "very important."

justiceischeap
(14,040 posts)Or in other words, the Republican party has decided that they are only going to talk about the economy and jobs. Whereas other people can multitask and be concerned about the economy, jobs, women's issues, equality, immigration, etc. As a lesbian, I'm concerned not only about the economy and jobs, but women's issues and equality but I don't count in her world specifically because I am a lesbian so...

Take note, American women: This is EXACTLY how they want us ALL to behave. (Emphasis on "behave."

(2,940 posts)Also, I call bullshit on this, Ann, "you're asking me questions that are not about what this election is going to be about."
a - You don't get to decide what the election is going to be about for the voters, and;
b - Creating jobs and providing insurance coverage for contraceptives are not mutually exclusive.

a) [font size="8"]SUCK[/font] at both
b) are actively and with mighty partisanship suppressing bills that could add more
c) refuse to talk about their economics/jobs plans, since they've . . .
d) had the same "plans" for the past 31 years . . . plans whose "results" speak for themselves.
e) have no game plan other than to get their handler's tax rates lowered substantially while leaving US with the check.
