Is this really true???????

[KnotaFrayed]

At a meeting with the “Moms For Mitt” group yesterday outside Philadelphia, PA, Ann Romney was asked her opinion on Lilly Ledbetter and equal pay for equal work regarding women’s employment. Without hesitation she responded with another question that seemed to shock even the most staunch conservatives in the room.

“Why should women be paid equal to men? Men have been in the working world a lot longer and deserve to be paid at a higher rate. Heck, I’m a working mom and I’m not paid a dime. I depend on my husband to provide for me and my family, as should most women… and if a woman does work, she should be happy just to be out there in the working world and quit complaining that she’s not making as much as her male counterparts. I mean really, all this wanting to be equal nonsense is going to be detrimental to the future of women everywhere. Who’s going to want to hire a woman, or for that matter, even marry a woman who thinks she is the same, if not better than a man at any job. It’s almost laughable. C’mon now ladies, are you with me on this?”

After Ann Romney finished speaking, there was an awkward silence in the air with a smattering of applause that seemed to come from a forced obligation to support their future party nominee’s wife.

Seemingly belittled by the lack of agreement, Ann Romney was ushered out of the banquet hall and driven back to where her husband was waiting for her. It is not known if the former Governor has heard this quote yet. However, I’m sure he will support it and tell anyone who doesn’t that they are waging a war on women everywhere. You know, because that makes total sense.

I depend on my husband to provide for me and my family, as should most women...


Should??? Sorry Ann...women "should" do whatever women want to do. If they want to stay at home...and can...great. If they want to become President, and they can, then great. It seems Ann was not alive during the 60's until 2012...as she is unaware that women can now run companies...and work outside the home.

Good lord! She actually said all of that? Gonna be kinda hard to sell the "Democratic war on women" thing with her wanting to set them back more than half a century.

Keep her out front, Mitt. An honest depiction of your agenda is refreshing. The mindset you've instilled (or is it "installed"?) in your Stepford wife is rather depressing, however.

Knot,

According to what I found, Ann Romney did not say that:

http://bloggingblue.com/2012/04/20/ann-romney-didnt-really-say-this/

It is based on a satirical news story (which is what the Free Wood Post publishes apparently).

Phewww...

Good to hear. It was a stunningly bizarre statement. I couldn't find additional sources, nor did I turn up that expose in my search...Good work.

How stupid can one woman be?

Thanks,Knot for that one)

 

[PACE]

That is probably the stupidest opinion on women in the workforce I have ever heard, Hillary Rosen was right; this woman has no business talking about working outside of the home,

She doesn't have a clue as what is going on in the competitive world of employment.

Clearly.

Pace

 

[Minotaur]

That story is satire. There is no way it is real.

Oh geezus....the left are so gullible.

No, it's not true

Perhaps this story is partially the result of this, as well as Ann's previous statements:


...Until they took a simple, nonhostile question from HuffingtonPost's Sam Stein: "Does Governor Romney support the Lilly Ledbetter Act?"


Six seconds went by. "Sam," an unidentified voice replied, "we'll have to get back to you on that."


Wait, that doesn't sound like a massive newsmaking event to you? Au contraire...

Hanging out elsewhere......

take it easy....gotta run

 

[imreallyperplexed]

Beat you to it BRU. See above.

Righties are just as gullible. After all they believe Romney's BS SuperPac (which doesn't purport to be satire). :lie:

Oh geezus....the left are so gullible.

No, it's not true

Pretty much the same as what Romney said in 2008, when questioned about taking force in Iran,
He'd "consult lawyers".

Remember that one?

This man is so "corporatized" it's laughable

Regards
Pace

 

[Minotaur]

Thanks for verifying it. Just a bit to corny to be true isn't it. LOL

But truthfully there are some really dumb people on the planet who would say it and that may be the scary part. ha ha

Vaguely. It's the kind of statement I'd shake my head at and then dismiss the idiot that said it. Consequently, I file away the idiot, forgetting the clutter that helped me make my decision.

 

[MaryAnne]

That's a good question ......LOL

Good one,Bru,on me)

But with all the other gaffes,who can blame us?

Do you like Romney? At this point I am not thrilled with any of them.

 

[imreallyperplexed]

If the story had been about Foster Friess (Santorum's SuperPac sugar daddy), I might have believed it.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politic...s-hopes-obamas-teleprompters-are-bulletproof/

(Friess was also the one who made the joke about women putting an aspirin between their knees (by which I think he meant that women should just tell men that they have a headache if a man is "interested.")

Thanks for verifying it. Just a bit to corny to be true isn't it. LOL

But truthfully there are some really dumb people on the planet who would say it and that may be the scary part. ha ha
