Sour Andrea Mitchell: Paul Ryan as VP Is 'Not a Pick for Women' or 'Suburban Moms'
NewsBusters.org ^ | August 11, 2012 | Scott Whitlock

Minutes after Paul Ryan was introduced as Mitt Romney's vice presidential nominee, Saturday, a sour Andrea Mitchell dismissed the choice: "This is not a pick for suburban moms. This is not a pick for women."

Playing off the GOP congressman's first speech as the presumptive nominee, Mitchell lectured, "I think that you're going to see that they [Team Romney] have decided that this is a base election." The liberal anchor for MSNBC worried that Ryan was "talking about what the base wants to hear." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]

Andrea Mitchell: Paul Ryan Isn't a Pick for Women

She said of his speech: "He talked about rights coming from God and they don't come from government."

A transcript of the August 11 exchange during live coverage is below:

9:52am EDT

ANDREA MITCHELL: I think that you're going to see that they've decided that this is a base election.

CHRIS HAYES: Yeah.

MITCHELL: This is not a pick for suburban moms. This is not a pick for women. This is a pick for the base.

Seriously, she got a BA in English 50 years ago and we are supposed to pretend she’s a superior intellect who’s qualified to tell us what women think? Typical liberal. All women think this, all Hispanics think that, etc.

I noted PLENTY of women and suburban moms at the rally today in Manassas. I was actually surprised, as it was 90 degrees and parking was difficult. People stood in long lines and pushed their children in strollers to the rally. Children were selling lemonade. And this is NORTHERN Virginia.

The women in my life are 1000x Andrea Mitchell. Real women, and they love real men like Paul Ryan

These trashy women in media and politics wouldn’t know a real woman (or a real man)

The peroxide blonde, Andrea Mitchell has her panties in a wad over the pick,

She’s a bitter old jewish liberal.

How many women and suburban moms even know who Andrea Mitchell is? Andrea was history a long time ago.

How quickly they move to 'claim their ground' on behalf of a constituency.

Pathetic, of course; not to mention 'insulting'. We know this works for 'their' base; for sure; and so, of course; they just figure. . .

This is not a pick for hyphenated, special-interest voters who want the government picking winners and losers. Ryan is a pick for decent Americans who want the government to follow the Constitution so that we can be free and productive. I am not at all thrilled with Romney, but Ryan is an excellent candidate and the best option we have in 2012 - far better for anyone who wants to succeed and achieve than Obama, Biden, or Romney. Those who want a government with absolute power already have Obama/Biden, and no Romney pick could steer them away from the dream of "Julia" and her cradle-to-grave dependence on the federal government to live her life for her.

I would say that those persons who care what Andrea has to say are of no consequence.

Re: “not a pick for women or suburban moms”.

Yeah, if only Romney had chosen Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann, Andrea would have been right in there pitching for a Romney win.

It should be a pick for suburban Moms in particular. If they are at all interested in the tax burden that their children will carry, then they should be intensely interested in the current debt load and efforts to reverse it. They should not embrace so-called Democrat’s “women’s issues” that are a code name for new entitlements, big government programs and huge new debt on their precious children.
