47. Where The Rubber Meets The Road

Tue Apr 17, 2012, 02:33 PM

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.
