But it's the Dems main theme! Ann Romney: birth control, gay marriage "not what this election is about"

Ann Romney certainly has a much nicer way of saying, "It's the economy, stupid."

Ann Romney told KWQC TV6 News Friday that birth control and gay marriage are issues that "distract from what the real voting issue is going to be at this election." Mrs. Romney says the election is about "the economy and jobs."

Well, duh. (Sorry, Mrs. Romney, no disrespect intended.)

When it comes to "women's issues," Ann Romney sees the bigger picture:

"I wanted to make sure that women of America knew that we have been across this country for the last year and a half and we are very aware of how tough it is for them," Mrs. Romney said. "I think all of us know that women work harder than anyone and that they hold down jobs, they are raising the kids, they're trying to get food on the table and everything else and they're really being stretched."

But the Democrats and their lapdog media don't want to talk about the economy. They'd have to defend Obama's record, and doing that is only slightly easier than herding cats. So distractions it is!

When asked if she believes a lesbian mother should be allowed to marry her partner, Mrs. Romney said, "I'm not going to talk about the specific issues. I'm going to let my husband speak on issues."

Which then engenders headlines like, Ann Romney Refuses To Say Why Lesbians Should Not Be Allowed To Marry, complete with scary music and choreographed dancing sex toys.

It's incomprehensible to some people that there are indeed bigger fish to fry.

When asked if she believes that employer-provided health insurance should be required to cover birth control, Mrs. Romney said "Again, you're asking me questions that are not about what this election is going to be about. This election is going to be about the economy and jobs."

Of the 88,921,000 Americans who've given up on looking for a job, I wonder how many of them are women? And how many of those women cry themselves to sleep at night because somewhere a lesbian mother can't "marry" her partner?

I'm guessing, none.

As for Obama's economic scorecard, let's check the ups and downs.

Here's a handy graphic you can share with your friends.

And when they try to change the subject, just remind them of this: Ted Kennedy is the only politician with a confirmed kill in the War On Women.
