Nelson tried again to engage Romney on another issue that has obvious economic impacts on women: the access to insurance coverage for medical birth control. Ann Romney again refused to answer, denying that birth control access or coverage are economic issues. Nelson tried to argue that, in fact, the election might well be about this issue, explaining, “Well, a Pew Research poll shows those issues are very important to women, ranking them either ‘important’ or ‘very important.’” Romney remained unswayed, declaring that her time on the campaign trail had taught her that women don’t really care about that. But I personally believe, and this is what I’m hearing from women all across the country that they are going to look for the guy that’s going to pull them out of the weeds and get them job security and a brighter future for their children. That’s the message. Listen, I’ve been across this country, I’ve been for a year and a half on the campaign trail, I’ve spoke with thousands of women and they are telling me, they are telling me a couple of things. One, they say they’re praying for me, which is really wonderful. They they are saying, “Please help, please help, we are so worried about our jobs.”
Reasoning with a fundie is like playing chess with a pigeon; no matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board and strut around like it is victorious - Anonymous

Either that or maybe she is on an amazing drug trip. But maybe she really does want women to go back in time to the 1950s?
Life for the sake of life means nothing.
We were happy, studying hard. Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time.The stock came from Mitt’s father. When he took over American Motors, the stock was worth nothing. But he invested Mitt’s birthday money year to year — it wasn’t much, a few thousand, but he put it into American Motors because he believed in himself. Five years later, stock that had been $6 a share was $96 and Mitt cashed it so we could live and pay for education.

Not much...I'd love to just have an extra hundred.

That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one.
Ann Romney literally said during her speech at the RNC; "But as his partner on this amazing journey, I can tell you Mitt Romney was not handed success. He built it."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBA7rPKhGtQMitt Romney was born the multi-millionaire son of a prominent politician/businessman. "He wasn't handed success" my fucking ass.
