And, really, this topic should have it's own thread.

Mitt said he consulted with his wife about women's issues and Rosen basically was saying she couldn't know what women care about since she hasn't worked a day I her life. But since Rosen feels that liberals like her know what women care about and women like Ann don't, it's preposterous to think that what Ann has to say to Mitt will help him grasp what women care about. The hypocrisy is that you have to assume that Ann isn't a real woman and women like her aren't and their opinions don't count. It's also hypocritical to believe that wealth somehow prevents struggle, fear, difficulties, sickness and uncertainty. It doesn't. The challenges in life might be different based on economics, but life is no respecter of persons when it comes to heartache, disappointment, loneliness and sadness.
