Huffington Post: Recalling his effort as governor to increase the amount of time women on welfare in Massachusetts were required to work, Romney noted that some had considered his proposal "heartless," but he argued that the women would be better off having "the dignity of work" -- a suggestion Ann Romney would likely take issue with.
We can't wait for Willard to explain that now that the Republicans and their corporate media have run Hillary Rosen out of town. Let's be clear, Mitt Romney said that poor mothers who don't have a job not only don't work, but have no dignity. What a prick.
This episode is also an indictment of the corporate media. Even though what Romney said translates far more directly to the notion that raising kids isn't work, and is a far more offensive statement toward mothers in general, you didn't hear a word about it. But when an obscure Democratic consultant says Ann Romney has never had to earn money, it was turned into something it wasn't and catapulted to the lead story for days. The corporate media is in the bag for Republicans and has been since they almost ran Bill Clinton out of town for everything from a legal land deal where the Clinton's lost money to a carefully worded truism about a consensual affair.
