intimate romantic relationships with other people.

There's no margin in anti-gay bias anymore. They milked that cow dry.

as in hello gay marriage and especially birth control is tied into the economy. bonk.

lovely Im born in Davenport when we still had a Farmall plant there.

I can't remember any spouse of candidate being like this.

then you "rent" the pony from your shell corporation.

Then, have the shell corporation write off the cost of maintaining the pony, minus the rather tiny amount of "pony rent" that you pay your shell company.

except for a few talking points.

Don't talk to me unless it's about married pro-life women because I don't care about the others.

this election is about a lot more that the economy. She wants to make it about the economy because her husband isn't the incumbent that has had to attempt to clean up the messes of the last republican president. Bush severely damaged the economy and attempted to destroy the middle class. If she doesn't want to talk about social issues and civil liberties, that speaks volumes about where she stands.

Why isn't anybody talking about the Bush era and the fact that he was deliberately trying to destroy the economy, at the expense of the people in the middle.

a cab driver from Somalia. He is about to get his citizenship and can't wait to be able to vote, but he's very knowledgable on the issues - and very bright. He asked almost as soon as I got in the cab who I was voting for and I said "Obama of course, anybody who votes for Romney is a fool", unless they are obscenly wealthy or extremely stupid.

Anyway we had a great chat and after I got out of the cab, I was wondering, why has nobody ever hammered home the point on how many people have lost their jobs and more due to Romney's sickening pillaging of various corporations. Does anyone believe that he will really create jobs? I don't and I never will.

The last thing he said was that this country is over if Romney won. I heartily agreed. Bright kid.

in politics. I'm sure it will be a proud moment when he gets his citizenship and is able to vote.

They get it. And they aren't voting Republican

She probably feels muzzled to a certain degree given who her husband is and their religion. If you think about it, it is pretty sad. People whomever they are, if their gender is male/female, sexual orientation, race, religion, or who they are married to have the right to have their own opinion.

Granted she made the choice to suppress her own rights at some point and has to live with it.

the infamous Palin/Couric interview.

I'd love to see Tina Fey do Ann Romney.

How will we ever know where she stands on these issues...

The women of the GOP are just back seat drivers. You would think that somebody in the GOP has about had enough of the RIGHT WINGERS and just admit they have been high jacked by some really awful folks. I can understand another view but not from PLUTO or beyond.

Mr Obama got it right last night when he said that he is the President of the United States.


Start growing up and join the program.

Republicans have little women.

and the queen has spoken! She's gonna be cutting some people's heads off if they don't quit bugging her!

If not, why is she limited to only questions about the economy? Since when are presidential candidates (and their wives) allowed to prescreen their interviewer's questions?

It seems Ms Romney only expects to go on TV to trash Obama. "This isn't about my husband". LOL

i love this one

Touche!

doesn't have anything to do with how well the economy works.

... and what kind of husband and father he is". No, you lying idiot, when the interviewer gave you the completely open "What is your message to voters?" question, you said nothing about what kind of husband and father Mitt is. You launched straight into the pre-programmed talking points of "a tough economy". You never try to say what kind of husband he is - nothing about how you divide up family decisions or work, nothing whatsoever about your children, nothing about how Mitt relates to you as husband to wife. You just swerve back into "for the economy, Obama is bad, Mitt is good" pap that tells people squat. You're damn lucky the interviewer didn't ask you how the economy would be better under a Romney regime, because you haven't a clue - because he hasn't a fucking clue either.

All you know is that your own taxes will plummet, and your venture capital friends will literally make out like bandits, but without the worry of being arrested, and screw what happens to The Help. That's the message Ann Romney gives - "Mitt will make me even richer, and that's all you peasants need to know. This election is about how to direct more money to the 1%".

"Now go fetch my horse!"

You better get use to the ignorance if these two wing nuts get in there. On the other hand, do you think Michelle would have given the same answer? Hell no. She would have at least discussed it. Rmoney and his wife are in it for the prestige and the money, but mostly the prestige. Michelle is in it for the country. Michelle's speech told me so much more about herself, and Barack. Do we want someone in the white house to protect our ass, or bury our ass? It's quite simple, really.

While the economy is very important to me, the right to control my own body is more important.

Besides, your guy loses on the economy, too.

rMoney and his wife ARE running their campaign on social issues. Come on, it is freakin' obvious, with their dog whistle statements what they are really trying to do.

Same-old, same-old, from the Repukes, as usual.

Their campaigns are NEVER about improving the economy or creating jobs for the middle and working class. The Repuke play book is about distracting people with false promises about keeping away teh Gays, and maintaining white upper-class power and wealth. The voters who are motivated by this kind of campaigning have been blinded by the corporate owned media, fundy whack job churches, and their own prejudices and fears. In the past, they have not seemed to notice that what the Repukes are REALLY about is MORE MONEY for the Robber Baron elite.

We could try focusing on these benighted voters, see the light bulb of reality lighting up in their heads, helping them to see the truth about how they are being manipulated. Let the mass outing of Repuke scandals increase, let the light of truth shine for all to see.

Let this smilie be what happens for the deluded masses:

And, for all of us who DO get it:

The Repukes are about Oppression: of women, people of color, the poor and middle class, any religion other than fundy whack job, etc., ad nauseum.
