Thousands upon thousands of tweets denounced Rosen, some of them cleverly. Ann Romney herself took to Twitter for the first time and wrote: I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work. Ms. Rosen, perhaps unaware of how thoroughly she was being clobbered, responded rudely with a message to Mrs. Romney: I am raising children too. But most young American women HAVE to BOTH earn a living AND raise children. You know that don’t u? The Obama administration, sensing a Waterloo in its silly “war on women” theme, quickly sent David Axelrod to disavow Rosen’s comments. And all of this happened before the Twitter tempest was three hours old. We will be hearing more about Rosen’s insults in the days to come, but for the moment, this story raises–like so many others–the question, why are so many liberals so mean-spirited?

Ann Romney is a big asset to her husband in his campaign. Many women do now and have done just what Ann Romney did -----------we make and made a choice and a decision based on personal circumstances.. Each woman in America who did so is to be respected and honored. The women in my family going back generations and my husband's family were strong women. They dealt with whatever was before them and rarely got paid money for their work. When the subject turns to 'equal pay for equal work'-------what is so ironic is that women who do not work outside of the home are not paid in money for their work. Their payment is a non-monetary reward. Their work and non-montetary reward is in the unpaid work that they accomplish for their family and the volunteer work for their neighborhood, larger community , organizations., church, schools, civic and political-----and helping your friends-------carpooling their children and their friends children for school activities.
