http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-user-polls/post/ann-romney-hilary-rosen-mitt-romney-and-work/2012/04/12/gIQAfzFiCT_blog.htmlWas Hilary Rosen out of line with her comments that Ann Romney "has never worked a day in her life."?
The conservobots have slanted this poll 97% to 3%. Let's jump on it and mess with their pea brains.

(865 posts)Not sure it will help. At home Moms deserve respect. In context though, Ann Mittens is not exactly a typical work-a-day Mom.

(26,549 posts)Because it's an hour and a half later ant it's...97% to 3%. I would expect it to drift a little.

(31 posts)It was 95% to 5% when I first saw it this afternoon, but it's been 97/3. i found it linked to Drudge so it has a full well of wing nuts hitting it. The way Drudge framed it was "Over 90% side with Anne Romney"

(32,069 posts)I guess they have joined the "conservobots". The poll really shows how out of touch many on this board are when it comes to raising families. It is a lot of work -- especially when you have MS and breast cancer.

(32,069 posts)But it is dumb politics to attack stay at home moms no matter what their financial means.
jillan
(39,451 posts)Is raising a family alot of work? Well yeah.
It was worded in a way to make Hillary Rosen the bad one here.
I say - don't bother.
