Fake Outrage of the Day: Hilary Rosen Criticizes Ann Romney, Right Wing Goes Nuts

I support Mrs. Romney’s choice to stay home. Although it was a very easy choice, given the wealthy family she married into. There was no economic pressure for her to work to help support her family, but it makes me slightly uncomfortable that Rosen used that particular issue to go after Mitt. But Rosen does not represent the President.

Rosen should have used a better example of Mrs. Romney’s privilege, the best example of course is the issue of health insurance and the Romney’s ability to afford care that others cannot afford.

Mrs. Romney has MS and has had a bout with breast cancer, in the real world, where the rest of us are, that makes her uninsurable by Republican standards. Republicans believe you should be able to be discriminated against for preexisting conditions. They don’t believe in regulation. The Romney’s can afford Mrs. Romney’s treatments without insurance because they are wealthy beyond boundaries of my imagination. That truly separates them from the rest of us. Whether she stayed home to raise 5 boys really doesn’t matter at all.
