This opens a much needed discussion about the lack of choices that parents face regarding the raising of their children. The flat wages for the past 30+ years have created an environment in which no choice exists.

They can't help but get all up in there...

will remember that Ann Romney never worked a day in her caddy-driving, horse riding life. She'll make Cindy McCain look like a chambermaid by comparison.

I'm confused of Mitt's quantum theory of campaigning being in two but opposite positions at the same time.

My money says, "knknngghghhaHAHAHARiiiight that'll happen..."

this morning. He did an entire segment on the impact of welfare reform on poor mothers and their children. As TANF benefits have been cut, the number of families living in poverty has increased.

But I did hear the remark about it not making sense for a woman to work for $9.00 an hour, and pay $9.50 an hour for child care.

I've been making the point for years, that we need to open some "government" financed child-care agencies, and make Welfare into Workfare. Obviously it isn't going to work leaving kids at home, or with an inattentive relative if you've got one, or any sort of inconsistent child care. I remember a story a few years back, I think in one of Moore's movies, where a woman's child was dropped off with an uncle, so she could ride a bus to work 50 miles away. The child found a gun, and shot himself accidentally.

And you can hire people doing it that don't have jobs too, so it's win-win. A certain number of people who need jobs, can be hired to facilitate it, perhaps as transportation too. There is plenty of wealth in this country to make these things happen, if only we have the will to actually give people an equal chance, we're going to find some real jewels of employees out there.

If this came from a democratic candidate, it would be aired at least as many times as the Dean scream was on the Liberal media.

My wife Ann is undignified because she did not have the dignity of work.

The Reps have an uncanny way of spreading news when it happens...the Dems not so much.

WE, my friends, need to spread these gospels at every chance we can get. Romney has proven he will say anyting in the heat of the moment. He is a gaffe machine. Let's keep them running wild.

videos. I suggest everybody do the same.

I dared MJ to play it and discuss it on their show tomorrow but I'm not holding my breath.

and IF that day care will return her kid(s) alive and well reliably every single day and IF she can find a job with adequate pay and benefits so she can cover shelter, clothing, food, and dental care and IF...

Men want it all both ways. They want a woman to take care of the kids and house and they don't want her to get a dime for it. However, when they flake out and she's got to go scratch for a living, they don't want to make services available for her to do so and they sure as hell don't want her to make a living wage, or she'd have left their sorry asses ten years sooner.

one I know by heart, yes indeed.

My ex was a mensch even if he was a faithless alcoholic and supported me through nursing school, my ticket out. For my part, I took only the equity in the house and things he had no use for like my looms and fiber. I left him a furnished house full of small appliances, his power tools, and even art on the walls. I left him in great shape, in other words, while I started over from scratch.

However, I'd been told it was a bad idea to try to breed so I didn't. Dialysis at 30 sounded like a lousy time.

However, I've watched too many friends and acquaintances who were left with nothing when hubby followed his dick out of the marriage. I know what women go through when they're kicked to the curb with kids to feed.

they can just allow Willard to write and star in all of their campaign ads. He's stuck his foot in his mouth so many times, made so many contadictory statements, and done complete 180's on so many issues, all on record. He could practically be given credit for writing Obama's campaign ads for him.

Let's hope the campaign makes use of the gifts he's given them.

not stay with their kids, but if they have money and a man to support them,
staying home with kids is something almost sacred and holy, like the Virgin Mary.

as a quarter billion, and have people working for yourself...

Wait for it, the Romneys are job creators....

See I can speak Rove.

to stay home and raise their own kids instead of the "dignity" of caring for and cleaning up after Rmoney's five little shits.

One for the rich and one for the rest of us. This is patently obvious.

If you're rich and chose to stay home, you "chose motherhood " (Ann Romney's words). She implies that those of us (i.e., the vast majority of women) who hold down jobs BECAUSE we chose motherhood didn't really choose motherhood at all. We're just selfish bitches because, you know, we're holding down an underpaid job to put food on the table.

And ask any Repuke: welfare queens need to work--even if that job does not even cover the cost of childcare. What? The welfare queen is already "working"? Don't be ridiculous. How many dressage horse could she possibly have?!

annually via a sociopathic tax code which paints an indelibly ugly stain on the moral fiber of our elected officials.

Every time Mitt opens his mouth, he's vindicating her remarks, even if she delivered them less than artfully.

BUT THEN DON'T ALSO SHIP THEIR MOTHER FUCKING JOBS OUT OF THE MOTHER FUCKING COUNTRY!!!

What the fuck.

Excuse my French.

weathervane, twisting in the wind.

His desire for power is so raw and obvious that one knows he will do ANYTHING to win. He's like those guys who want a Klondike bar!

Yeah, 'cause there's nothing more dignified than working a minimum-wage job and being treated like Kleenex.

and pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Just like Mitt did.

Why anyone would vote for him is beyond me, but then, there are people who don't like women so I guess his ilk appeals to them.

I will work FOR Obama and AGAINST this miserable excuse for a candidate!

He's obviously shaken that particular Etch-a-Sketch, so it's not fair to use his own words from a couple of months ago to suggest that Mittens is a lying douchebag!

who believes Caddy Drivers like his honey, Ann, are noble in their hard work raising the next Americans, but poor folks...well, yeah, they need to go to "real" work and get some dignity. Wait a second, where are all those dignity jobs, oh shit, the 1% sent them all off shore...damn. Seriously folks, this is mean and nuts at the same time. We need more American voters to understand this.

This may make a good sound bite when talking to the faithful but what are the realities.

Where, for instance, will these jobs come from. In many if not most of the cases the only reason these women aren't already working is because work is not available so you can huff and puff all you want but when no work is available there is no way this can work. This is just another case where Romney is recklessly out of touch with reality.
