Convention speeches: Ann Romney vs. Chris Christie
Vanity | 8/28/2012 | The Rhinelander

Posted on 08/28/2012 8:30:43 PM PDT by TheRhinelander

The buzz is that Ann Romney's speech was off the charts and that Chris Christie's speech was moderately good but didn't have the red meat people wanted. I tend to disagree. Christie's speech was fantastic but in a much more subtle way. He showed the stark differences. Thoughts?

Yeah, I cash my check every month and roll around in all that money.

I've had people HERE tell me that veterans don't deserve anything different than anyone else, they're nuthin' special, etc, etc.

We don’t know what you do with your money, nor care, but it would be nice to see you go a day or two without your constantly telling everyone that you are a disabled vet.

I have yet to see someone come up there and tell America what it REALLY needs to hear.
Someone needs to say point black that OBAMA IS A MARXIST , he is surrounded by anti American radicals , he is pro Islam , he is Anti Israel and he want to completely change the form of government we have in America.
He is the enemy within.
THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID AND NO ONE HAS THE BALLS TO SAY IT ..AND IF SOMEONE DOSEN’T EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS TO WHO THIS IMPOSTOR IN IN THE WHITE HOUSE HE’LL GET RE ELECTED .

Look into the teachings of your church on Mormonism, and then how it is the same to all the other Christian churches on Mormonism whether they be Protestant, or Orthodox, then you will see how wrong you are to try to compare Catholicism to Mormonism in the Christian community.

Do you have an identity besides having been in the army at one time?

Do you realize that you bring that up in almost every conversation when you feel pressured?

No one is pressuring you here, you do not have to go into your routine.

“I’d vote for Romney just to get Ann as the First Lady.”

Yes, yes. I’ve been feeling that way myself. She’s just marvelous. And you just know that Mitt Romney thinks he’s the luckiest man on earth to be married to her, and that is downright charming.

When he said on the Fox news interview that he’d rather spend time with Anne than anything else, you could just tell it was the pure truth, not empty blabber.

As for Christie, I said it on another thread, but I’ll say it hear too, hubby LOVED him. He actually said he was proud that he was OUR Governor.

Now, hubby really don’t like too many pols. Sees them as all being the same, full of bs, etc.

Christie really has a gift when it comes to speaking to a crowd. I was truly shocked to hear hubby say such a thing. He was all like: we voted for him!!! YAY US!

(He only voted for him because I made him!)

But, never mind, to me this was all good.

I’ll say that Romney himself has a bit of a tough act to follow after these 2, lol, and Ryan tomorrow, you’ll know he’ll be good.

I truly hope the dem convention goes like this: Abortion, abortion, abortion, contraception, abortion, homsexuality, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, who is Mitt Romney to oppose same sex marriage his great-grandfather was a polygamist, multi-culti, multi-culti, immigration “reform”, we support our public workers, raise taxes, raise taxes, raise taxes on quarter millionaires, abortion.

I think if they play it that way, Romney’s a lock!

Post 192 was a simple post, with no connection to anyone or anything, your hair trigger of going personal should not have been triggered by it.

Ann’s entire family is Mormon now, they got her dad a year after he died.

Wow you are wondering why I defended her, maybe your Mormdar has me in its sights, and I’m so worried you will attack my view of marriage. I’m shaking like a leaf.

I really think you are inhabiting an alternate universe. Ann Romney’s speech and this thread had absolutely nothing to do with Mormonism. But you can’t figure that out.

But you are not a Catholic, are you? Yet you presume to lecture Catholics on Catholicism. No thanks.

Please identify your religion and which religions you accept as correctly teaching the Word of God. I will lay odds Catholicism is not on your list.

Wow you’re a rude sob to disabled vets as well. Outstanding. And it’s hilarious you are posting on and on about Mormonism, while complaining that someone else repeats they are a disabled vet.

Did you serve in the armed forces?

Both speeches were terrific.....reaching different audiences and helping to win Mitt’s election.

What a great night!

I looked at your posting history, I was curious based on what you have said on this thread........it all makes perfect sense now.
