The Romney campaign released these excerpts of Ann Romney's speech, which she'll deliver tonight at the Republican convention in Tampa: Tonight I want to talk to you from my heart about our hearts.
I want to talk not about what divides us, but what holds us together as an American family. I want to talk to you tonight about that one great thing that unites us, that one thing that brings us our greatest joy when times are good, and the deepest solace in our dark hours.
Tonight I want to talk to you about love.
Mitt's dad never graduated from college. Instead, he became a carpenter.
He worked hard, and he became the head of a car company, and then the governor of Michigan.
When Mitt and I met and fell in love, we were determined not to let anything stand in the way of our life together.
I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a storybook marriage. Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or Breast Cancer.

Sorry Ms. Ann,America will lift Her own self up.
Lift up America to what? A watered down version of what Obama has to offer? Mitt’s a moderate at best a liberal at worst.
So they can lift this.
*BARF*
I wonder how Moochelle will top this? The competition will be fierce.
Sounds to me like a really good speech
Sounds good to me, too. But when the haters come out, there’s nothing she could say to impress them.

Tonight I want to talk to you about love.
Wow! I didn’t know Ann was so skilled in the art of comedy!
Romney doesn’t need any of you little people so step a side and let the flip-flopper keep on flipping you the bird.

If anybody buys this attempt at deification of Mittens, I’ve got a other worldly stone artifact of a squid thing devouring a man with ancient cuneiform on it to sell you.
I give all politicians wives a pass..
They married the schmucks seems like that life must be hell
It’s not the lifting up that worries me.
It’s the drop kick that has me concerned.
Ann Romney is a class act, unlike Queen Moochelle.
His goons are trying to take over the convention and crush grassroots choice. Yep, that's lifting up America all right. Sounds almost nobamaesque.
With all do respect Mrs. Romney, I don’t want your husband to lift me up. I just want him to get his government out of my way.
She will be shown as much respect here as Michelle Obama.
ANYBODY BUT OBAMA.. Yes it’s THAT bad.
forget saying anything nice on this site about Ann...
this is only time to bash Romney. with FRiends like this, who needs enemies.
Yup, another bash Romney thread..that is all we will see all through the election.
I think Ann is one classy and strong lady I would rather see in the WH...but you won’t hear that here.
If I wanted to hear Ann bashed I could go to DU.
I will try to keep an open mind about Ann. But the little bit I’ve seen of her, she does strike me as a cold and bitter woman. By bitter....I mean she seems like she feels she and Willard are entitled to .... well entitled to just about anything they want. She doesn’t seem like she really wanted to work for this nomination.
But maybe, I’m just projecting my loathing of Willard onto his poor spouse. My disgust for Willard could be keeping me from seeing Ann objectively. And since Willard has flopped around more than your average Pol....I don’t hold Willard w much regard.
I will say...the Romney’s do have a lovely looking family. And I wish them much luck on their future endevours. I just hope they don’t take the whole country down w them in their attempt to subvert the conservative cause.
The left talks like that, everything is “hate” and “haters”.
Cruise over to DU right now and see what a huge percentage of the vocabulary over there, consists of the two words, hate and haters.
When you see the charm with which Ann lies on video about abortion, it colors your opinion of her.
Romma/Obamney 2012! Forward to Restoring America to its foundations! (Restoring in the context means razing)
and.....? So the left defines what words I’m allowed to use? Free Speech only applies if it’s something you tell me isn’t said on a Democratic site? Get over yourself.
Big deal, I lift up the toilet seat when I pee, too.
Romney can only fight conservative Republicans. His candidacy will result in another term for “The Divine One.” While I will vote I shall not cast a ballot for President.
I don’t really care what the Romney bashers have to say.
I didn’t back Romney in the primaries, but nobody seemed to back a viable alternative because Santorum or Gingrich or whoever was wrong on 5% of the issues.
I was 19 when I held my nose for McCain, because I saw through Obama as being nothing more than a disaster.
Now I’m one of thousands of unemployed college graduates, and the thought of 4 more years of this economy makes me sick.
I’m not going to sacrifice my adulthood with Obamanomics because Romney’s not my #1 choice, and if that makes me a CINO because I want to do stuff like get married and have a family one day, so be it. I personally feel like I don’t have a choice otherwise.
I merely pointed out how childish and immature it is, that is why I suggested that you go over to DU to see that it is the choice of that crowd, they use it on everything, they don’t know better, do you?
When you see it used as you use it, constantly by unthinking liberals, then you can see how cheesy your post was.
Amen.
No he won’t.
So go vote for Obama. I mean, what the f else do you have to offer?
Some on this thread are probably trolls and from the DU. Why else would they bash a women who raised 5 kids, has MS and survived breast cancer.
When these people on this thread that are bashing Ann wake up on Nov. 7 and realize “hey I should have voted - what's this Obama was reelected?” Oh well - Enjoy.
Oh, thanks for the support of Romney, seems like just a couple of us here in that category.
Congratulations. You are far wiser than the scorched earth conservatives here who are probably at least twice your age.
Mrs Romney seems to be a very nice lady Dedicated to her husband and family.
Had to endure breast cancer and MS. but still willing to be put through the ringer of public life.
Good luck tonight, Mrs R.
My daughter is your age and it breaks my heart what we’re doing to your future.
You misspelled Sasquatch.
You hate Romney. That is a fact. We get it. Your posts make it clear. So now I’m childish, immature and cheesy. And you should know, you are such an authority. I’ve read lots of your posts. Go hang out with the DUmmies a little more, you must spend a lot of your time there, knowing what is always said on that site. Get your complimentary Obama bumper sticker yet?
LOL, I sure called that one right.
“forget saying anything nice on this site about Ann...

They rather keep Obama because he really isnt all that bad ya know?
Dont bother asking them how they will get rid of him in 2012. Their brains have long since taken a pass on really hard questions like that.
It’s easier to go after Romney.
Have you seen the charming video of her supporting abortion?
“When these people on this thread that are bashing Ann wake up on Nov. 7 and realize hey I should have voted - what’s this Obama was reelected? Oh well - Enjoy.”
Oh they are all big talk about buying more ammo and food.
Like what are their swap-meet pop guns and beef jerky going to to stop Obama? Most of these Ramboobs would wet their pants in a firefight with a tin can let alone this Civil War II they dream of.
It’s hard having to be supported by my parents after college. It makes me feel emasculated, and that all what I heard about “The American Dream” feel like a hollow lie.
So for all the people who talk about waiting it out until 2016, I can’t help but laugh at the idea.
I can’t just “rough it out” or stockpile supplies, because I have nothing to make it on my own.
I wish I had the luxury to sit this one out, but looks like I’m going to have to suck it up and vote for the lesser of two evils again.
Wow. Your arrogance is pathetic.
We don’t know anything about Ann Romney that is good, all we know about her outside of her being normal in the sense of becoming a mother and getting sick, is the way that she supported abortion in word and deed, and that she kept illegal aliens working for her, and the business with the dog on the roof getting sick and traumatized on a cross country trip, and that she doesn’t consider themselves wealthy, and that she was once a Christian before joining Mormonism, and that her parents were not allowed to witness her wedding, which was held in pomp, and secrecy.
Exactly!
What is that?
We know even less good about you, so that makes Ann Romney better than you.
Now is the time to take care of your military service.
Unfortunately, I have a medical condition (food allergy anaphylaxis) that made me 4-F status, and ineligible for ROTC, or any military service.
They never grant medical waivers for Asthma or Food Allergies.
Only if you are one of those rare freepers that is pro-abortion, and anti-Christian/pro-Mormonism, pro-Planned Parenthood, and mistreats animals.
