Oh for heaven sakes, Ann Romney “ran” once for a position as a rep for town meetings, similar to a precinct committeeman that lasted for about 2 seconds. Now there’s a big office to have run for, where I’m sure she learned how to be a big time pol. How far do you have to stretch to try to make her appear to have been a hardened politician who “knew the ropes”? She was a stay at home mom, who was active in the PTA and once ran for a piddly local position as a town meeting rep. Sheesh.

From Wiki:

“A representative town meeting is a form of municipal legislature particularly common in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Vermont.

Representative Town Meetings function largely the same as an Open Town Meeting, except that not all registered voters can participate or vote. The townspeople instead elect town meeting members by precinct to represent them and to vote on the issues for them.”

I might add, I was a local precinct committeeman for about 10 years in my home state. When I “ran” I knew diddly squat, and had to “run” even though I had no opponent as no one wanted the job. And politically at that time in my life, I was no experienced candidate, far from it. It was an unpaid public service position I was willing to take on, just like Ann Romney did. I can’t believe how you have tried to “color” this position as something of any significance on the national or even local political stage.

Your agenda is showing now, it must be why you lied about Ann Romney never having held political office.

The pro-abortion Ann was the first one to enter elective politics beating Mitt’s pro-abortion/pro-gay 1994 campaign by years.

In 1977 Ann ran an aggressive political campaign and was elected Town meeting representative, Ann Romney, a practitioner of the racist Mormon religion, which banned blacks from full church membership at the time, held office in 1977 and 1978.
