...when everyone stops insisting we pay attention to what Ann Romney does...

We were beginning to have an in-depth conversation on THE REAL issues, until "we" somehow gave a shit about Ann staying at home. Talk about crazy language, like people didn't understand that anyway. It distracted the real conversation we were beginning to have.

There are several "wars" going on here... there always have been.

I suppose the war on poverty "language" is also crazy to you... huh...
