This pissed me off too Andrea. So, to me, Romney is saying...sure hire women, lots of them, BUT make sure you are flexible and give them time off to go home and play with kids and make dinner and THEN they can come back and finish their "other" job.

REALLY? We (women) aren't capable of taking a job (career) of our choice with our OWN intellectual balance of what is needed in *our* lives?

No thanks Romney!!!! I don't need YOU to tell me to get off work at 4 and go home and cook then my world will be complete. *I* am totally complete without your patronizing view on women's place in society. All *I* need is for the Government to make sure women get a fair shake to PAY.

I worked full time, sometimes 3-11 shifts, raising my kids, without needing to be home to care for my kids at 4 and cook supper. Know why? Because i am INTELLIGENT enough to make sure my children's needs are met.

This is NOT the 1950s.

Get a freaking clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
