Valin Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 ABC: Rick Santorum Drops Presidential Bid After Bella's Health Worsens AMY BINGHAM April 10, 2012 For presidential candidates, there's usually no five-day work week, no holiday vacations, no time for family emergencies and no leeway for personal problems. Running for president is a 24/7 affair, but when Rick Santorum's 3-year-old daughter, Bella, was taken to the hospital last weekend, the GOP contender made a rare move to take two days off from his arduous campaign schedule to stay by his daughter's side. Today Santorum announced that he would suspend his presidential campaign in part to spend more time with Bella, who has the rare, and nearly always fatal, genetic chromosomal disorder Trisomy 18.

WestVirginiaRebel Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Rolly: Newt Gingrich stiffs Utah Utah Elections Director Mark Thomas said a designated agent for the Gingrich campaign brought the filing papers and a check for $500 in March, but the state was notified by the bank that the check had bounced. He said the office has tried to contact the Gingrich campaign through the telephone number and email provided on the application, but has not received a response. Recently, the state sent a certified letter to the campaign, stating that if the fee isn’t paid by April 20, Gingrich will be disqualified and will not be on the ballot.

Valin Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 We're All in Trouble Quin Hillyer 4.10.12 (Snip) Nonetheless, every conservative, and everybody who loves this country and cares about its traditions, its Constitution, and its freedom, should do nothing other than help that establishment succeed in this election. Objectively speaking, almost any analyst would say that from the standpoint of a conservative of conscience and a lover of liberty as conservatives understand it, Romney certainly should appear a better choice than Obama -- by an almost astronomical degree. Conservatives would do far better for themselves to hold their noses and work hard for Romney than they would if they stood back, stayed home, and watched the forces of Big Government complete their extreme makeover of American society. (Snip) A bold insightful analysis of why Mitt is the one....or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Seriously, their first attack is on Ann Romney for not "working"? The thing that shocks me is how incredibly clumsy and transparent that is. Ann is a stay at home mom, so she must sit around and eat bon bons all day and women will hate her and vote for Obama. It's ironic coming from an administration that on average pays women $10K a year less and has a laughably diversity-challenged reelection team. Oh well. Just the opening salvo I guess. It's gonna get harder, but this really surprised me. I am glad to be turning to fight the Obama Admin now. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I have always hated that question "Do you work?" My response to that question is always...Tried that work once, it's not for me.

Then and Now Bill McGurn To follow up on Mollie, as well as some of the comments in her thread, here in one place are a few related items dealing with Democratic attitudes toward women, work, and family. It's interesting that though these people would all tell you women have the right to make their own choices, they don't do much to hide their disdain for the choices women such as Ann Romney or Laura Bush or Barbara Bush have made. Here's the original Hillary: (Snip) And finally, remember the furor at Wellesley in 1990 after a group of 150 students had protested the selection of First Lady Barbara Bush for commencement speaker, arguing that she was somehow beneath them? Here's the relevant objection from their letter of protest: ''Wellesley teaches that we will be rewarded on the basis of our own merit, not on that of a spouse. To honor Barbara Bush as a commencement speaker is to honor a woman who has gained recognition through the achievements of her husband, which contravenes what we have been taught over the last four years at Wellesley.''

Rheo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 In 2008, Rosen derided Republican attacks against Michelle Obama as an example as “stupid strategy.” “You know essentially, you’ve taken on sort of the most sympathetic person in the candidate’s realm, the wife, who is taking care of the children, supporting the husband, doing everything she can because she loves him,” Rosen said on Anderson Cooper 360 according to a CNN transcript from May 19, 2008.

Rheo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Update: Hilary Rosen is out with a new statement: “Let’s put the faux ‘war against stay at home moms’ to rest once and for all. As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is. As a pundit, I know my words on CNN last night were poorly chosen. In response to Mitt Romney on the campaign trail referring to his wife as a better person to answer questions about women than he is, I was discussing his poor record on the plight of women’s financial struggles... “As a partner in a firm full of women who work outside of the home as well as stay at home mothers, all with plenty of children, gender equality is not a talking point for me. It is an issue I live every day. I apologize to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended. Let’s declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
