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?

>> the other [top speech] being by former Alabama (D) Rep. Artur Davis.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised by Davis’s speech. I liked Nikki Haley’s too. She slapped ol’ Barky and his union bosses around a bit, didn’t she?

I was surfing around and heard Rachel Madcow saying that there were no facts in either speech, they had fact checked them both. I was wondering to myself how long she had lived with the Romney's, seeing how a lot of Mrs. Romney's speech was personal in nature.

I thought both speeches were very good for different reasons, and the contrast between the two made the overall effect even better.

I liked when Christie discussed the specifics of what he did in New Jersey. The speech seemed to go on too long after that. I guess he ended up discussing Mitt Romney after that but I just tuned out then. Mitt’s no more interesting when people talk about him than when he talks about himself.

And in that interview the other day, Mittens came out and said he is in favor of abortion for the “health” of the mother, rape and incest. Which, basically, is the same position as every Democrat.

The convention is a giant, white washed tomb with lots of dead bodies rotting within.

And the earth itself is crying out for all the blood shed. When it opens up and swallows them, they will have it for eternity along w/their same sex perverts.

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!

Doesn't sound particularly charitable to me.

Two excellent speeches that separated the two beliefs. Ann was very emotional and she gave the velvet backhand to obozo again and again. She is tired of the vilify the wealthy routine and the personal attacks.

Christie explained what fiscal conservatism is and why it works.

Great night to be a Repub.

Pray for America

It is funny. I remember Juan almost being a convert before and after 2008, then he drank the Obama kool-Aid. I have another half-black friend who is doing the same thing. It is circle the wagons time for them, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

This is the perfect time for them to PROVE they ARE NOT RACIST and side with right vs. Obama. They would be respected for it, but for some reason (demon possession?) they can not do it.

I’m sorry a woman said she and her husband have a real marriage and not a fairy tale marriage.

You are the ignorant one to comment that she has a MORMON marriage like it’s an epithet.

You’re full of ignorance. Yeah Mormons get married in their church wow what a revelation.

And I get it, Mormons are evil in everything they do because they are Mormons.

I hope you have a blanket to keep you warm under that rock. Crawl back under and have a good night.

Yah, Chris Christie was awesome! Funny, to the point, straight-shooting. I thot he was terrific! Ann Romney was good enough, is obviously not a practiced speaker. The only gripe they have about CC is that ‘he didn’t mention Romney til late in his speech’ — that is pathetic. Hoping they’ve got their undies in a bunch.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see how they stand up against Sandy Fluke’s “Condom Lady” routine and Mohammed the Suicide Bomber’s speech at the DNC circular jerk next week.
