Ann Romney: 'This Man Will Lift Up America!' (Excerpts from Ann's convention speech)
Weekly Standard ^ | August 28, 2012

Posted on 08/28/2012 3:50:04 PM PDT by GOPinCa

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.

How are you such an expert on women’s skin? You’re accusing a woman you have never met of having plastic surgery? I am 79 years old and have been blessed with very few wrinkles. You would probably accuse me of plastic surgery also. I have never smoked, have an occasional drink, for the past few months have a glass of wine at dinner, have always avoided the sun and cover up when I am exposed to it since I freckle easily.

RE “I guess people on this website now also with Obama, think that something is terribly wrong with enjoying the fruits of one’s labors. Success and wealth are the American way and one I strive for. Jealous people are small minded

It wasn't believable. She and Mittens should present themselves, not some script-writers narrative characters who fret over food and gas prices. She has no idea how much fuel for that helicopter she is flyed around on costs.
I cant watch little House on the Prairie either.

As for her stand on abortion, your post is the first I have heard of it and frankly, I could care less about that issue in this election.

Thank you for the explanation, it sure covers it all.

Re read my post. I think you are replying to the same poster that I was replying to that was accusing Ann of having plastic surgery. I said it was no plastic surgery and due to a clean life and yes good genes help. Both my grandmothers had very few wrinkles into their 90s. I agree with you!

Don’t you wonder about these people who hate the rich? They’re probably the same ones who are patronizing the casinos which have opened around Philadelphia and lining up to buy lottery tickets at the supermarket. I’ll bet they don’t complain about film stars or professional athletes or millionaire entertainers. Or any of the rich Democrats either—like George Soros, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet...

Ann Romney did an excellent job tonight. She would make a great First Lady. I hope Mitt does as well when he takes the stand.

This is your lucky day. If both your grandmothers had few wrinkles, you will too. It’s hereditary, has to do with elasticity of tissue. My 52 year old son looks 25—amazes even me!

RE:”Wow, still nothing, I posted things you didn’t know about Ann Romney on an Ann Romney thread, and you just haven’t referenced any of them in two long, rambling, but nasty, post

Check out her activity on this thread. She's on the Romney campaign staff working overtime here jumping from poster to poster,

contrast Mrs America Romney with Mooshel trying to deliver with the same class and elegance.

Michel Obama will be a galumphing wookie.
