18. Wasn't She the Only Person in the Campaign Less Liked Than Mitt?
Sun Feb 3, 2013, 01:27 PM
Feb 2013

She carried herself the entire campaign just like every stereotype a privileged rich person. Her sense of entitlement was palpable with statements like "it's our turn," "We’ve given all you people need to know," and "I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids."

That last one is especially galling since Ann Romney has never worked a day in her life for a paycheck. Okay, so she raised 5 sons. But she raised five sons while not working outside the home and while married to a pretty wealthy Mitt Romney. I'm sure she never lacked money for baby-sitters or day care when she needed to go to the spa to get her facials, massages and mani-pedis. Yet she loves the fact poor women who have to work outside the home still also have the task of raising kids. They don't have access to the same financial resources as Ann did. They're probably lucky if they have anything left over each month after rent, food, and day-care for their kids while they work. And lots of them are on food stamps (SNAP) and welfare (TANF) because they work jobs with crap pay like being a WalMart "Associate."

Yes MA GOP, please do run Ann Romney in that liberal state. Just put her out there and let her start talking. She's sure as hell no Michelle Obama.
