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?”


how did i miss this before?!?!

Thankfully Zig, this quote is about as false as they come. Thankfully.... because it made me think, no wonder ROmney puts his dog on the hood of the car because he's got the leash on his woman.

Akin needs to resign, today.

Ann Romney is smarter than that, c'mon 'Zig.

Interesting thing about the Akin resignation, he has to do it by end of business Tuesday or he's still on the ballot no matter what.

Akin represents most of the current GOP thinking. Remember the entire GOP, lead by Paul Ryan, tried to redefine "rape" into "forceable rape" just last year.

You know, it's not rape unless she has the crap beat out of her at the same time.

Crazy, idiotic douchebags, these pretend "men". Every one of them needs to get the hell out of our women's sex lives and personal healthcare. They are like Ayatollahs trying to force their religious views on their fellow Americans.

That is why I said today.

The bill isn't exactly worded like that.

Ah, yes, House Bill 3 - because the most important thing that new 2010 House had to do wasn't jobs, wasn't the economy, it was trying to dictate what rape is "real" and what rape is, you know, "she was probably asking for it".

What a massive, utter fail this elected House has been. A historical failure.

The thought that, in 2012, male American elected officials - in an alleged democratic republic - are actively trying to legislate, to dictate American women's reproductive lives and control their procreation is completely astounding to me.

That people - voters - support them is even more astounding.

Not really what is written in there, just says I don't need to pay for it.
