Liberal Forum

CNN pundit Hillary Rosen created a firestorm when she said, What you have is, Mitt Romney running around the country saying, 'Well, you know, my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues. And when I listen to my wife, that's what I'm hearing.' Guess what: his wife has actually never worked a day in her life. She's never really dealt with the kind of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school, and why do we worry about their future.Admittedly the part in bold print was put in a bone-headed way. Obviously Ms. Rosen was talking about working outside the home, but the rest of what Rosen said is absolutely true.Ann Romney has never had to work outside the home to insure the economic survival of her family.She had the luxury of being able to stay home and raise her kids, probably with a lot of paid help, a luxury most women don't have.Of course, even though she admitted that she chose those words poorly, Democrats couldn't throw Ms. Rosen under the bus fast enough.And in the long list of Romney campaign lies, they have falsely identified Hillary Rosen as an 'Obama adviser'.She's not. She works for CNN.It's ironic that I haven't seen the same thing coming from the GOP side, when Republican Congressman Allen West recently said that 78 to 81 Democrat members of congress are Communists.Did any other Republicans denounce his words?No.....of course not.Same as when Rush Limbaugh said those awful things about Sandra Fluke.Democrats cower. Republicans double down. Edited by MistyBlue, 13 April 2012 - 02:46 PM.
