Cut the crap

It is crazy how progressives are spinning in the spin cycle of the GOP wash of Hilary Rosen's comments about Ann Romney's lack of W-2 history. It is easy to see why the Dems did nothing with their 2006 - 2010 majority in Congress. The entire lot of Progressives need to grow a pair.

When will Progressives stop running from truths? The truth is if Mitt is depending on his wife to know what is important to American women he may miss a few things. Ann Romney is a stay at home mother. She is not aware of making a choice between medicine for child or gas money to get to work. She is not aware of missing school events because she can not afford to miss an hour of W-2. She is not aware of eating fast food because cooking after working long hours is not in the cards.

I am not knocking stay at home mothers. I am pointing out the fact that in America most families have two paychecks and when there is one paycheck in a household it is usually co Ming from a woman. Ann Romney is a blessed woman when her life is seen against the backdrop of the lives of most American women. I find it hard to imagine her family did not have any servants to assist with child rearing. Any family that thinks to add a car elevator to their beach house must have a servant. Do I hate wealthy people? No. It is just factual that the super wealthy do not face the same hurdles as most Americans.

Progressive Dems either grow a pair or buy a pair. I am wearing my big woman
panties as I type this blog posting. I a a big woman. Stop allowing GOP to spin facts. Ann Romney and her husband are not part of the 99%. They have issues but food, shelter, and clothing are not pressing issues for them. It is not class warfare it is reality. I applaud Hilary Rosen for pointing out the obvious to the people who refuse to acknowledge the obvious. As a working mother I would love more time at home but the children understand. Maybe liberal media will understand soon.

  1. Absolutely true!

    If Romney didn't want his family involved, then he shouldn't point them out as his advisers.

    There is no such thing as Liberal Media. MSNBC comes closest, Thom Hartman show, but where is it on national media??

    Rich people, especially those who grew up rich, are way out of touch with the 98% of us who aren't that lucky. Unfortunately, we haven't come together to get them out of running our country (into the ground).

  2. Do you know how you can tell Ann Romney is so "in touch" with regular people? Because her HORSE has it's own doctor, it's own chiropractor, and it's own masseuse. That's how Ann knows what it's like to have to choose between paying the rent and taking your child to the dentist.

Take me over the cliff - again

I expect many Americans in my fiscal position are fed up with the GOPs continued fight for the rights of the wealthy to pay less in taxes.  I say take me over the cliff.  I recently found a Twitter account regarding the $250K threshold.   Many of the tweets\RTs where describing the hardships of $250K living.   It is time for a reality check across the board in America.    If the grown-ups were honest about this fiscal mess, they would admit the tax cuts must end for all.  The ending should be in stages to reduce the likelihood of the need for public assistance for working\working-poor families.  Although $250K is different for different parts of the U.S.A it does mean you are not in the ghetto. There is no $250K/individual ghetto in America. If you are reading this posting and you know of such a ghetto, please let me know for I need to move to that state.  If taxes go up for individuals making $250K and above they will not face a n...

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi. ...

We can not afford tax cuts

After the Senate failed twice to make any headway on tax cuts and UI benefits, I took a little timeout from shouting to be silent. I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes being quiet with my son as we watched Harry Potter. Today, I awaken early to get to the store to buy food to aid in my son’s combat of the season’s first cold. During the shopping and the quiet time, I continued to wonder if maybe I am the one missing something. I do not have the alphabet soup behind my name or statistical knowledge, as do those in the Senate. I may be alone in seeing a crisis where there is none. However, just as I thought to put away the shingle of my blog in favor of teaching public school, I got a retweet of a NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/05/us/politics/05states.html?_r=1&src=twt&twt=nytimespolitics). Reading the article I was reminded how, my close to retirement age mother, who has advanced degrees, was laid-off as a teacher under the guise of budget cuts from the state....
