Ann Romney’s speech had me gagging and groping for a shot of insulin... stat!

At first. Then it got better; then it got even better than that, and by the end it was pretty darn impressive.

Christie’s was good, although not great. He didn’t slice and dice Obamao like he COULD have, but it was a decent workmanlike speech. Probably the right speech for the circumstances. He can save the brutal red meat stuff for the campaign trail.

Just my 2c.

I’m with you. Juan’s remark was horrible.

What a cheap shot.

Those were insignificant parts of both speeches, certainly not “Praise”, and I guess if you’ve got a problem with providing educational benefits for veterans who served their country under the GI Bill, then you and I don’t have much to talk about.

Anyone with ears would have heard very STRONG messages from both about the importance of self-sufficiency and getting the government out of the way of business and free enterprise.

Elendur, if you watched his speech, you could answer your question. Chris Christie may or may not be in perfect alignment on every issue with a typical Freeper, but he believes in smaller, smarter government, people, not government, tackling challenges with conservative solutions. He has a photo of Reagan behind him. Obama looks to Mao and american communists for inspiration. Obama ignores the issues and demagogues...Christie takes them conservative solutions. Obama empowers union bosses, Christie takes them on and reduces their power in the statehouse. The contrast with Obama could not be more stark.

Ann Romney vs. Chris Christie

No contest.....Ann Romney ! For Christie, how does one follow the very best Speech since the 2012 Election begun? Ann got five standing ovations!!!

I'd vote for Romney just to get Ann as the First Lady.

You missed some historical moments, but then the MSM wanted you to miss all of the historical moments. Send me you TS card so I can punch it.

What kind of ASS thinks of the GI bill as paid for by someone else? Every GI who served damned well deserves his/her educational benefits.

I don’t waste my God-given time listening to LIBERALS, LIARS or the godless. Let Ann blow her words out her butt - the stench of the godless is repellant to GOD and to HIS Own!

Christie was inspirational, like a half time locker room speech. He was talking about guts and fighting the fight we know needs to be fought.

Ann spoke from her heart with a theme of love for her man and her country. But, it was cleverly designed to be a direct hit against Obama's fake war on women issue. It worked well. A special extra to her speech was a great introduction provided by Puerto Rico's conservative First Lady Luce Vela.

Both of them were great efforts. I think they were two of the top three; the other being by former Alabama (D) Rep. Artur Davis.

Romney does not appeal to most women- the whole point of Anns speach was to show women why he is significant

Juan Williams is a jackwagon.

Indeed. Like most here, I was looking for more from both speeches. Actually, I was looking for Gov. Palin—but that comes far too rarely. Ann’s speech was mediocre, but she was spectacular. Sincere, lovely, motherly, feminine, moving. The words seemed to fall well short of the person.

Juan’s honing in on single moms gives us a peak into the democrat mind. Ann didn’t stint on praise for those single moms, but she surely modeled (how I hate that word!) the ideal state for moms—a sound marriage with an openness to children and a life of caring for them and her husband. That’s somehow offensive to a knee-jerk rat.

In her world view the only “Real Marriages” are ones sealed in a Mormon temple.

So are you implying that unless people are only married in your chutch, their marriage is not sacred? I have heard that argument from some non Mormons, so I wonder what your point of view is.

It just seems to me that your comment is a singular as you assume of what Mrs Romney spoke.

No, it is not the truth it is straight up bigotry.

I am quite certain that Mrs. Romney believes he Episcopalian parents had a “Real Marriage”

BTW, I thought Niki Haley’s speech was better than Christies. She put it to Obama very nicely.
