Video of Ann Romney answering questions about LGBT and women's issues.


MSNBC's "The Ed Schultz Show" just ran the video of Ann Romney refusing to answer questions regarding LBGT and women's rights.

I recored the video with my cell phone and posted it on youtube.

You can see the interview here.

But really, it's not her place to answer issues questions. She's not the candidate.

her own opinion. I know Hillary and Michelle would answer those questions whether they agreed with their husbands or not. Ann's just as wimpy as Mittwit.

I care MORE about who controls my body than I do about the fucking economy. There. I said it.

they are scared that if the republicans get in they`ll no longer have control of their bodies.

to this generation birth control,abortion,planned parenthood and other social services are accepted as a social norm. one friend has republican parents and she posted that she`s afraid of what her life will be with romney as president. another was pissed off because of the dehumanizing of planned parenthood.

bishop romney and his obedient mormon wife have nothing in common with the majority of the twenty something women in this country. hopefully they will vote for someone they can relate to...michelle obama`s husband

The Romneys have it wrong if they think they can gloss over the fact that they dont want us to have healthcare, marriage or reproductive choice. Messing with someones body is messing with their very survival instincts. Self preservation is human nature. If they were human, theyd know this.

It's so basic now. The righty repubs must appear completely nuts to people in their twenties.

I talked to a kid tonight who told me stories of when he was ten . It was the year 2000. Suddenly, I realized how different the norm is than when I was his age. Imagine being born when Clinton was President. Meanwhile the pukes are still bitching about Jimmy Carter.

This generation has more than rights. They have birthrights!

I think we know what her answers would be. Another reason why people should not vote for Mitt... Being secretive for one and bigoted for another.
