Hilary Rosen Should Provide the Basis of Multiple Sclerosis

I thought the blogs during the day.

But, as Ann Romney's sister suffers from multiple sclerosis. So even if Hillary Rosen was duly apologized for the attack, Ann Romney to stay home, be rich, and does not constitute a challenge economically woman in America, I'm still outraged by the saga so I think the only people who have first-hand know about MS, MS, is known to be furious.

Today, Mrs. Ann Romney Rosen called "the disease".

Ha. The disease resembles a common cold.

MS is far from cold.

Whenever I looked at Ann Romney there on stage late at night with my husband, all that energy flow during the primaries, I was surprised.

Because I know how hard it is for people suffering from multiple sclerosis for power management. I know that on the same day he gets, the harder it is for them - and no matter how rich you are, there is no magic formula to make you feel better or weak to escape.

Medications may help, but at the end of the day you have to rule the day and time that you're not too tired. Ann Romney said she is very good blend of Eastern and Western medicine - and it looks great. But who knows what the real story? Recently, I was sitting in his office with Scott Johnson, CEO and founder of the Myelin Repair Foundation - a nonprofit organization for the study of alternative treatments for this disease. Johnson had MS for 36 years, and said to me: ".. MS is a disease a secret far more people than do what the documentary" In other words, they prefer to deal with private broadcasting.

My sister has to keep in the morning and rest in the afternoon. She does not like people knowing how she is tired.

I know more, much, much worse. They can not manage, they can not walk, and the brain is too slow.

This is Ann Romney appears even in the campaign with her husband, not to mention support for the presidential election - not once, but twice - speaks of his courage and dedication of all. I also noticed how little he speaks for itself, its battles, and MS and breast cancer. When she's there, it's all about Mitt.

I do not care what your politics, but to attack someone to chronic wasting disease - and also battled breast cancer - because they are rich and very representative of women? What is this?

Many people with multiple sclerosis can not work. Especially not in America engaged in grueling hours.

Yes, Ms. Rosen is right: women and the economy of women are extremely important and should be widely discussed in the accumulation of November. All of us worry about the mother's earning enough to pay for our children and we all want to encourage policy making. But to get people with chronic diseases who are not really talking about their illness, are not used for political purposes, it is terribly wrong and absurdly misinformed about the disease in question.

I am very happy and grateful to Ms. Rosen apologized. Leave this line of attack. And more.

But donations to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society - or the basis of Mr. Johnson, can not be wrong.

Ann Romney vs. Hilary Rosen: Why The Scandal is Not so

Hilary Rosen vs. Ann Romney: why the dust-up is fake: First, it would be the Democrats believe that if a serious dispute that the government should require insurance plans to cover birth control, in fact, a dispute about birth control in general. If true, the final debate is set, and almost never be considered as a matter of public policy. Even Rick Santorum made it clear that, despite his personal opinion on this issue.

Now he claims that the Republicans of the great national struggle to the question that most women are largely agree on - the decision to work or stay home. Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen accidentally caused this storm is not so, when she commented on CNN on Wednesday evening that Ann Romney - including Mitt Romney takes his chief adviser on women's issues - are "never worked a day in his life." Full citation:

"What you have Mitt Romney running across the country, saying:" Well, you know, my wife tells me that women do not care to solve economic problems, and when I listen to my wife, that's what I heard. "Guess what? His wife actually never worked a day in his life. She never focused on the types of economic issues that most women in this country are faced with in terms of how we feed our children, how can we send them to school and why we worry about their future. "

Romney's campaign has cast himself, Ann Romney make his first tweet: ". I made the choice to stay home and raise five boys, Believe me, it was hard work."

So why is a fake fight? Because first of all, we do not think anyone out there (at least with children), I do not think that raising children is hard work - that Ms. Rosen said later. But more importantly, because the debate on women to stay home or go to work is not a lot of debate - the more, it is a choice that most women do not have any just do not. For women, they get to make that choice, it is normal - what they decide. But for most, refusing to pay simply not an option today.

As is evident from the context that Rosen did not criticize Ann Romney to stay home. She was criticized Romney's campaign for the presentation of Ann Romney as an expert on the economic problems of women, when Romney's own economic circumstances (including the fact that she could stay home with her son five) just is not what most women.

It was a political mistake to criticize Romney's wife, Rosen, regardless of context? Of course. Ann Romney is a good man, a popular presence in the campaign, and a very sympathetic figure. Key advisers Barack Obama wasted no time in condemning the remarks Rosen as "inappropriate," said family members should be "closed."

But does this mean that the debate in the public sphere between Democrats and Republicans over whether women should work or stay home? The number and outrage that these false Fights to divert attention from the serious discussions on issues that really affect women.

Arizona, Michigan Primary Results of The Restoration Mitt Romney as The GOP Favorite

Arizona, Michigan Primary Results of The Restoration Mitt Romney as The GOP Favorite: In politics as in sports, is a victory regardless of the margin of victory. To do this, Mitt Romney, of course, grateful. His nail biter win by 3 percentage points in his home state of Michigan, in conjunction with the eruption of 20 points in win Arizona primary, which Mr. Romney back on dry land, as a firm favorite of the presidential nomination of the Republican Party.

But victory came at the cost. The problem, led by Rick Santorum, who interrupted the debate three weeks ago, sweeping the competition in Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri, at the head of the Republican Party in his own version of the class struggle and to identify weaknesses of Romney as a candidate. A series of images fed Romney missteps as a plutocrat out of touch. Mr. Santorum spice to the rhetoric of culture wars to attract voters and blue-collar social conservative, said the strain of Republicanism that repels women and independent voters.

With 99 percent of reporting counties of Michigan, Romney won 41.1 per cent, 37.9 per cent Santorum won, Ron Paul won 11.6 percent, and Newt Gingrich won 6.5 percent. Arizona, with 100 percent reporting, Romney won 47.3 percent, 26.6 Santorum won, Gingrich won 16.2, and Paul won 8.4 percent.

In the main season is immune to the impulse, 10 Super Tuesday contest March 6 wide open, with the potential to win at least three of the four GOP candidates still in contention.

However, Romney has won the lion's share of the delegates awarded on Tuesday evening - 29 awarded to Arizona, and at least 11 out of Michigan. Santorum has also won at least 11. Overall, Romney now has 163 delegates, 83 Santorum, Newt Gingrich, 32, and Ron Paul is 19 years old, according to the Associated Press. All told, the 1144 delegates needed to capture the GOP nomination.

Super Tuesday states allocate 437 delegates, mainly proportional to the results. This indicates that the use of bounce may last until spring.

But now that Romney can enjoy the results on February 28 and a sigh of relief over what could be. Two weeks ago, polls showed Romney in Michigan back Santorum by 10 points. Losses would have been humiliating and threw her campaign into crisis. He was born and raised in Michigan, and his father ran a business in the automotive and served as governor. In his victory speech, he called himself «Comeback Kid», but he said that he was in the right direction.

"A week ago, experts and social scientists were willing to rely on," Romney said his primary night rally in Novi, Mich. "But in Michigan and Arizona, I'm meeting my mother and dad and grandparents of students, all are concerned about what happens to this great country. I was convinced that we are gathered here today, and take a giant step towards a better future. Today, their efforts have helped lead our great victory. "

Romney then spent much of his speech focused on Obama and not his GOP opponents - a return to its strategy of pitching itself as the inevitable candidate.

Santorum began his speech on the night of the primary exclamation of how he came as a candidate - he worked in relative anonymity, as the other candidates jumped and ran around him.

"Wow," Santorum said on Tuesday evening in the city of Grand Rapids in Grand Rapids, Michigan, "a month ago, they did not know who we are, but they do now."

Santorum has devoted part of his speech in honor of his wife and mother of their professional achievements and education, visible efforts to restore its image among women and among voters in higher education.

Indeed, the exit poll showed Romney of Michigan beat Santorum in women 43 percent to 38 percent. When voters were classified by level of education, the only category Santorum was out of those who never went to college. Santorum raised eyebrows for the first time he called Obama "a snob" for the development of the college.
