THANKS FILBERT, you know, I love eggs -- any way you make 'em! Scrambled, over easy, over well, poached, sunny side up... but I really like them soft boiled in the shell, with the whites cooked, but just barely, with the yolks hot but runny. Mmmm...

And, oh by the way, Ann Romney has 5 wonderful sons, for whom, I am sure, she has the highest hopes and aspiraions. Good thing she doesn't have any daughers -- then she'd have a conundrum.

Would she tell her daughters to go for it, and be all that they can be... or would she teach them to hush up, and be content to stay at home, making babies and caring for them... ?

Rosen is a political hack wearing a bomb vest of groundless attacks designed to distract the weak minded from Obama's embarrassing record. She couldn't take a day that Ann R. Puts in.

>>>Today, it's a group of women like Ann Romney -- attractive and charming a person you'll ever meet, we are told -- who block women from achieving the basic rights of citizenship in America. It's people like Ann Romney who stand in the way of our daughters. <<<

Go suck an egg. Ann Romney is a mother of 5, not to blame for anything except being in Obama's way.

It wasn't a fight between two women, it was a hack attack one of Obama's minions.

WOMAN BLOCKING WOMEN

Why do we have to pussy-foot around the (not ready for Politically Correct) Truth?

Ann Romney never worked a day in her life. That's a fact, Jack... er, or Jill.

Prior to 1920 (19th Amendment), women didn't have the right to vote... for lots of BS reasons: not as smart, frail, better suited to let men do the leading, etc. And, believe it or not, surveys at that time showed that a significantly large percentage of women opposed giving the right to vote to women.

Today, why do women still only earn 80% of what men earn, and why do women still not have the right to control their own bodies... and so forth?

You just can't blame men. If all women united, men could never get in the way of the Tsunami Wave of all their mothers, sisters, and daughters. No, it's like when suffrage movement tried to get women the right to vote -- it wasn't just men that they had to convince, but it was also the too many other women who stood in the way. Today, it isn't a war on women; its a war by some women to block the right of all women to aspire to be all they can be.

Today, it's a group of women like Ann Romney -- attractive and charming a person you'll ever meet, we are told -- who block women from achieving the basic rights of citizenship in America. It's people like Ann Romney who stand in the way of our daughters.

We can try to understand how Ann Romney got trapped in her life -- she was raised with Mormonism, which espouses that women are handmaiden to men -- but we cannot forgive her for trying to limit the rights and aspirations of our daughters.

I am sure that Ann Romney would never raise her 5 sons to a life limited to only staying at home and making and caring for babies -- honorable and valuable as those activities are.

We don't have to be Chinese Tiger Moms to have wider aspirations for our daughters. We want our daughters to aspire to -- and be! -- all that they can be.
