Ann Romney Responds to Dem Strategist’s Attack: ‘My Career Choice Was to Be a Mother’

Ann Romney Responds to Dem Strategists Attack: My Career Choice Was to Be a Mother

AP

UPDATE: Hilary Rosen has apologized to Ann Romney

Ann Romney hit back Thursday morning at a Democratic strategist who said she had “never worked a day in her life,” saying she made the “career choice” to be a stay-at-home mom.

The flap started Wednesday night when Democratic consultant Hilary Rosen asserted on CNN that the wife of GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney had no business speaking about the economic concerns of women because she “never worked a day in her life.” Ann Romney raised five sons and has suffered from breast cancer and multiple sclerosis.

“She should have come to my house when those five boys were causing so much trouble. It wasn’t so easy,” Ann Romney said during an appearance on Fox News.

“My career choice was to be a mother and I think all of us need to know that we need to respect choices that women make,” she said. “Other women make choices to have a career and raise a family, which I think Hilary Rosen has actually done herself. I respect that, that’s wonderful. But you know, there are other people that have a choice, and we have to respect women and all those choices that they make.”

Calling it an “awesome responsibility” to raise children, she also gave a “shout-out to all the dads that are at home raising kids.”

Referencing her own hardships, Romney said she knows “what it’s like to struggle.”

“If maybe I haven’t struggled as much financially as some people have, I can tell you and promise you that I’ve had struggles in my life,” she said. “And I would love to have people understand that Mitt and I have compassion for people who are struggling.”

Blasting Rosen’s claims that her husband “doesn’t really see“ women ”as equals,“ Ann Romney said Mitt is a person who ”admires women and listens to them.”

“Now that does bother me,” she said. “That is not correct at all. You should see how many women he listens to, and that’s what I love about Mitt. He has so many women in his circle.”

Watch Ann Romney’s appearance below, via Fox News:

Rosen did not back down from her words when appeared on CNN earlier Thursday, but said she loves “stay-at-home moms“ and called being a mother ”the hardest job in the world.

“This really isn’t about stay-at-home moms vs. working moms, it’s about women in general,” she said. “I love stay-at-home moms and I have nothing against them and I support them all the time.”

First lady Michelle Obama also injected herself into the fray, tweeting Thursday afternoon: “Every mother works hard, and every woman deserves to be respected.”

Remember when women on the left were being critical of Sarah Palin because she didnt stay home and raise her family and instead chose to keep her career? Now it’s exactly the opposite that is being attacked? Noticing things like this is why I am no longer a liberal and havent been for about 16 years.

      The way to fundamentally transform America IS to destroy the family. If they don’t destroy the family, their plans to change the laws and the history will fail. They must destroy families.

      They must attack and ridicule traditional, biological, evolutionary family structure while propping up self-destructive, biologically- and evolutionarily-incompatible lifestyles. Destroy nature, and you can redefine nature.

      There was a day when most Mom’s stayed home and raised their children. Remember in those days children grew up having little problems if any at all! Then along came MAN made war, and women were forced outside of the home to work! When dad came home,most women decided they liked working instead of raising children.. and this began the the downfall of families! First Satan got man all stirred up over war.. and then he enticed women to keep working instead of raising their children. They let other people raise their kids while they made a career! So came the breakdown of family! I will say this, by the looks of the Romney family she did a fine job as mother. And why should she have to work.. her husband made plenty of money.. she made her career motherhood and that is the finest job a woman can do! I am not condemning women who work.. but just how many would have rather stayed home and raised their own kids, but were forced to go out and work to help support the family!??? How many women missed the first steps of their children because they were at work? How many missed their childs first word, but their babysitter heard it.. And then the dark side.. how many children were abused at the hands of a babysitter, how many were sexually abused, or even murdered? Motherhood Mr. Obama is a sacred thing… and mothers work harder today than ever.. evil is everywhere. If my children were little today they would never see the inside of a school room! And I would raise them myself!

      You know what, I am a Democrat! Have been for my entire life. I am wondering just how low my fellow Dems are willing to sink? Apparently the swamp at ground level is no limit whatsoever. Some of us look past words and intuit the real intent behind those words and if one does that with the Democrat party then one has to be sick to one’s stomach. They make me want to puke.

I look at it this way: The most important thing is to acknowledge and honor God and Jesus and to let him into my life and perhaps to open one’s eyes and ‘see’ how God moves in one’s life. All the rest is petty fun and games. I go to church to worship God with others of like intent, not to be better, different or holier than other people. I honor God but keep the reverence for humans to the bare minimum. If someone says they are a Christian, I accept that however alien their beliefs may be and let God and conscience sort it out. Well, there is ONE exception I make. I don’t believe Obama is a Christian. Like just about everything else, I believe he is lying about that too. I think he is a Muslim, really, and a Communist for sure and that ain’t Christian.

      I think all Communists and Progressives (one and the same?) in the government should be publicly burned at the stake in full color and in prime time as an example to the rest of them to leave the private sector alone and quit meddling in what they have absolutely no clue about. They need to slither back behind closed doors where all inane, failed cults belong and leave the rest of us to live our lives in the sun, unmolested by their depraved, GLOBALLY FAILED and false ideology.

      If the society has lost its stomach for such a wonderful and freedom affirming spectacle such as public burning of Communists then I pray for the present course to continue its inexorable march to their absolute collapse (along with society and its perversions) so that God can finally take HIS country back and return it to the playpen of the Constitution and the brilliant, inspired intent of the founding fathers whom we have all forgotten so much about.

    The war on women is coming from the administration and against liberty, freedom, religion, poor and rich and so many others. This is ammunition the Conservatives have been handed on a silver tray.

    Democrat “women” don’t DO “motherhood”. To a majority of democrats, motherhood is just that inconvenient time between conception and a visit to a Planned Parenthood slaughterhouse to have the “blob of cells” murdered.

    Most stay-at-home-moms DON’T have dozens of maids raising their kids. Even in 2010, when all the Romney kids were grown up, Ann claimed 4 maids in her tax return.

      Dude, really? You are clueless. She has maids now, because she has MS (muscular dystrophy) and just survived breast cancer, to boot! They were not always so wealthy and they raised their kids themselves.

      I am a blue collar guy and my wife, whom has a Psych degree, left her career willingly to be there for our kids. We both sacrifice, because it is what is best for our children. NO ONE will take as good care of your kids than their mother. We are talking about rearing the next generation, not just changing diapers. It is a godly and sacrificial choice to put one’s self aside for the needs of the family. These are the kind of women who deserve to be revered more than any other. There is no more important work than that of the family.

      Indeed, such sacrifice by a woman is a far cry from the “me me me” mentality, where Uncle Sam effectively serves as surrogate husband, because some women CHOOSE to make babies with men not worthy of marrying. Any woman who buys into the lies and wants to take on the role of mama and daddy is selling her children and herself short. Ann Romney is one of the greatest role models for women ever to grace American politics.

    Give me a break! They made a point that since she never worked she didnt understand what most people go through and she brings up rasing her children. That is work and i wont deny that, however she had housekeepers and nannys to rasie her children. So she really didnt even do that herself and that is the point. She nor her husband never had the difficulties most Americans face and have faced and that is the problem. No matter what he says noone believes him and he doesnt connect with voters

      How do you know she had a nanny? Where is your proof? You do not understand the faithful LDS women if you think she had a nanny. Even if she did have a nanny she would take their spiritual and moral upbringing on herself. Just remember, also, they haven’t always been multi millionaires.

      Mitt Romney doesn’t connect with the voters in my book NOT because he has wealth but because he supported Mass. imposed health care and other liberal issues.
      If, in fact, it is his wealth that is the alleged failure to connect with voters then how does one explain that Joe Biden became VP when in a Senate Hearing with retired US Marine Scott Ritter he spewed “Well, ole Scotty boy…and how did you arrive at these Hearings today? By limo or did you drive yourself?” Ritter, acknowledged he drove himself. To which Senator Biden replied, “Then WHY should we even listen to you?”
      Tthe current White House should have even worse problems than the Romneys who only spend from their personal assets while the people in the White House are taking million dollar vacations to Hawaii, Spain and, and even send their minor child on an international vacation with 25 Secret Service men. Bo’s handler is paid $108,000/Yr.

      I could careless if the Romneys have dozens of homes nor a parking lot full of cars. I do want to know if he has read the US Constitution and does he respect it?

      I had a problem with Rick Santorium because he once called into to Glenn Beck‘s program and in sum said that he had seven children to raise and he wasn’t “rich” like Glenn to donate more to charity. (I don’t care if he gives to charity or not). But he makes more than $1 million/year and seemed to think he needed it all for his seven kids. (Have friend with 8 kids and they live on $40

      “Nevermind”, a perfect handle for you! Because what you say about Romney “not connecting” is very misleading, unfair, and warrants a “nevermind” as if it had never been uttered……If you would spend time LISTENING to him at his town-hall meetings, he encourages random audience questions, pays close attention to the questioner and then directly gives his response. In fact, he recalls who asked what question and, sometimes later in his speech, may return to a particular person who asked a germane question about whatever topic. He is very empathetic and does connect. Admittedly it requires a listening skill that some people simply don’t exercise! Please reconsider your assertion, Nevermind, as it is damaging to a very erudite candidate who does not deserve it.

    It is the very actions of the Federal Government that has forced middle class American women to enter the workforce in an effort to simply feed their children. For them to now say that the experience of being forced to leave home to meet survival needs of your children is somehow enriching or empowering and comes with a special mantle of superiority is insanity itself.

    Women were forced by the actions of the Federal Government to leave the house and family. To feed their kids. A thick layer of propaganda lent the destruction of motherhood an air of credibility.

      That is the Marxist governmental goal – to have all work – and put the kids in the propagandized impersonal day care that they gave planned. That, is their utopia – not nurturing and teaching children one on one like only mothers and fathers can do.
