Ann Romney's "Swipe" at Gay Marriage

[rdean]

Republicans are equal opportunity.

They feel the same about:

Gays
Blacks
Hispanics
Muslims
atheists
scientists
poor people
feminists

They treat all these people exactly the same. The same regard. The same respect. The same honesty. Not something that can be denied.

When you say your marriage is "real", it only stands to reason that in her mind, some aren't. Who are the obvious candidates?

 

[Warrior102]

Clearly she is the bride of Satan.

Yes, the anti-Christ. Romney is much better suited for that job. He's already a professional liar.

Why so testy, assfucker ?

Why did you post the article if you disagree?

Because it is illustrative of the types of attack that the Democrats are attempting to utilize in this election and therefore is worthy of discussion. Do you feel it is appropriate to dig through every word and phrase in a speech looking for something that - if you squint your eyes and turn your head and really, REALLY go out of context in a blatantly biased and pathetic attempt to ascribe the worst possible motives to someone who has never demonstrated such motives before - you can twist into a mini-scandal worthy of two or three days of media attention so it won't focus on how little your side has to run on.

Why do you have an issue with someone posting an article? Do you only address topics that you agree with? How strange.

Aren't you funny to pretend that the Republicans don't do this repeatedly.

You mean like using an out of context line from the President to base your convention on? Like that?

Hey... If she wants it in the ass... I suggest you give it to her in the ass. Good women are amplifiers. Make them happy... It'll come back two fold. Piss them off... Comes back two fold.

Off topic. Early morning. Apologies.

The word marriage is code for anti gay. Like Chicago is really a racial slur.

Democrats can get a lot of mileage from trashing Ann Romney, they just need to do it more and hit harder.

The Mormon church is adamantly opposed to gays being allowed to marry. Ann Romney is a devout Mormon.

Without evidence to the contrary, of course she opposes gay marriage rights.

And I would think the 'nuts would be very happy that she does. I would think that since the GOP now believes Ann Romney is politically useful,

they'd want her out there railing against gay rights, zealously promoting that aspect of the GOP agenda.

 

[Katzndogz]

Because the Romneys are unapologetic Mormons I, as well as others, are well aware of their position on gay marriage rights. It is one of the reasons I will vote for him.

I just gave you positive rep for the first time for your bullshit.

Why?

Because you embody the left for me along with several other posters on this board. Every post you make like this shows that your mind is locked into just hating anything and everything about Republicans and Conservatives.

You can't see any gray. You only view the world in black and white. You are narrow. You are prejudiced. You are biggoted. You are vile in your meaness. You are cruel. You are smarmy. You are snide.


Only a person with no intelligence can't grasp that Anne Romney was comparing "real" to "fairytale".

Only a person with no soul can't grasp that rich or poor Multiple Sclerosis and Breast Cancers are horrible diseases and this woman has been battling both.

I'm actually glad you exist. You are the window into the mind of a liberal.

Vile, vicious and with no ability to see shades of gray.

 

[Katzndogz]

She was saying that she didn't have the storybook marriage others say she has but a real marriage with real trials, real obstacles. That's what she was saying. If democrats insist on claiming that she was taking some sort of oblique strike against gay marriage, it can only, ultimately, help Romney. It will help him by reminding the entirety of the American voting public that Romney will protect traditional marriage against same sex marriage attack.

 

[tinydancer]

Please don't pick on Ann Romney. She's had sooo much struggle in her life...

Multiple Sclerosis and breast cancer are now a "walk in the park" to the left and to the moronic left wing media. You libs are sick puppies.

Irrelevant. She claims that she and Mitt were 'struggling' even though they lived the high life. She has no idea what it is like to be poor.

Neither does Michelle or Barack. So who gives a shit?

Do you have to be a crack whore with 10 kids on welfare to qualify to be the First Lady now?

I thought she was talking about the ups and downs as any marriage has, you know, the laughs the cries the disagreements.
Only a left wing wacko would think it would be a code word phrase, deen

Was Ann Romney's 'Real Marriage' Comment At The RNC Innocent Or A Dig At Marriage Equality?

Yeah...I wish I could say I'm shocked. But at this point, I'm just surprised it took them this long to piece through her speech to find something that fits their imaginary, "War on Women," "War on Homosexuals," "War on Minorities," "War on Immigrants," campaigns.

I don't look at what she said as being a swipe a marriage equality.

I think that she's just kind of clueless that she fails to understand that after 30 years of guys like her husband hollowing out the middle class, most of us can't afford to have someone stay home with the kids.

and you clearly do not understand that Money can't Buy Happiness, or Peace of Mind.

What makes people change their mind? Purposefully or not, children pick up on their parents’ beliefs and tend to follow them for the beginning of their life. Occasionally, around the teenage age, some kids transition into a revolt stage and completely change their views on the world. I believe this is mostly due to frustration in something which their parents believe; they have always taken it for granted but now that they have become more educated, they begin to question their beliefs and if unable to come up with an answer that they can rest upon, they choose to find their own way. My civic issue this semester will be gay marriage. I believe that by the time a child reaches his mid-teenage years, he will have picked up on his parent’s reaction to gay marriage. My curiosity about what makes a person change his mind sparked from an article I read from the Los Angeles Times titled,“Obama’s family influenced his gay-marriage shift.” The article explains that even when Obama’s position was in an early state of evolution, Michelle Obama “went out of her way to invite gay, lesbian, transgendered and bisexual couples to the events she sponsored for military families.”

Obama writes,“There have been times where Michelle and I have been sitting around the dinner table and we’re talking about their friends and their parents, and Malia and Sasha, it wouldn’t dawn on them that somehow their friends’ parents would be treated differently. It doesn’t make sense to them and frankly, that’s the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective,” I thought it interesting that when Barack Obama, our president, was thinking about his position on gay marriage (one of the most controversial topics currently in our nation), he thought of his young daughter. In a way, their thoughts are the most valuable—bear with me, but they are not “corrupted” by society. They are clear and pure; they see their friends and their parent’s just as normal families. To them, a man a woman, two men, or two women in love with one another are perfectly capable of raising a loving and healthy family. Sometimes I think it amazing how much we can learn from kids.

To begin my blogging over the semester I chose to look into some of the arguments that others use in order to opposite same-sex marriage. Most of quite similar and repetitive; the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) was formed to “resist, in the realm of ideas, the liberal, socialist and communist trends of the times and proudly affirm the positive values of tradition, family and private property.” They argue that marriage is naturally a covenant between a man and a woman and that it violates natural law. While biologically it is true that a man and a woman are needed to produce children, if children can not understand why gay parents would be treated differently, it is really that “natural?” It definitely is not built into us—rather, picked up from society. Also, for the matter of nature, Bruce Bagemihl, a distinguished Canadian biologist and linguist, shows that homosexual behavior has been observed in close to 1,500 species, ranging from primates to gut worms, and is well documented for 500 of them. The TFP also write that “it is in the child’s best interests that he be raised under the influence of his natural father and mother.” As for that matter, I urge all to watch Zach Wahls address this issue (Speech). The people writing this article never had experience being raised by gay parents. They have no basis behind their thoughts, they are simply unsupported beliefs.

Thanks for reading this! Looking forward to what you have to say.

So what? Does that mean people who do have an idea of what poor is have the Right to engage in character assassinations? What the hell is wrong with you Libtards? Some people have more than you ever will and you're pissed off -get over it... You're losers and you cannot handle your own lack of success, so you are compelled to attack people who have done far better for themselves financially than you ever will. Well boo fuckin' hoo.
