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.

I think they are a bunch of lazy arse, “freeloaders” sucking the American taxpayers dry...so they can sit on their lazy rumps and post “hate filled” messages against Romney on forums.

They seem unusually agitated tonight, (LOL)I think they are feeling a little scared that their “gravy train” is about to get voted OUT of office.

I don’t know anyone that hates the rich here, do you know anyone that finds fault with people lying about their past, and implying that wealth is bad, by pretending to have been poor, when they were not?

RE :” I wonder how many will continue to send money to Free Republic if this BS continues..
this always was an enjoyable site to visit and post..something nasty is wrong..
I hope it gets cleaned up
what has happened to the ZOT cat?

Really?? I really like it here.
We can be critical of Obama and we can be critical of Romney here. We don't have to lie.

If you are waiting for posters critical of Romney to be zotted then you are in for a long wait. Hannity has a website for those who think that Romney is superman.

Ann looks very good in that video in post 174 also, and she demonstrates real sincerity about things she cares deeply about.

I'd much rather have a Mormon than a communist, muslim..

I think Mitt practices his faith privately and does not flaunt it..as Hussein does..

when Mitt is POTUS I hope the muslim programs that the white house has, come to an end..

THIS IS AMERICA, WE ARE NOT A ISLAM COUNTRY OR NATION.

Agree Ann did an incredible job tonight. I felt like she was talking to her boys....you listen to me....your father.....very convincing....I think she has grace and conviction. Regardless of differences, she will make a great first lady.

I never new there were so many haters on Free Republic.
Conversation is impossible with a closed mind.

I'm sure Ann Romney will know how to dress properly...and I wonder how many will continue to send money to Free Republic if this BS continues..

this always was an enjoyable site to visit and post..something nasty is wrong..

I hope it gets cleaned up

what has happened to the ZOT cat?

It's not going to get cleaned up. This site used to be my go to spot for news and discussion. Now I come here once in awhile, and it doesn't take long to see why I left.

As men, our job is to do.

Our job is not to complain, or cry, or be jealous or sad or tired or anything else.

Our job is to do.

Women are different. They look to each other for emotional support and things of that nature.

If you are a man, then when and if Ann Romney walked on your body tonight, you didn’t feel it, and you won’t ever talk about it, in fact you didn’t even notice it.

Our job is to do.

That is all.

Haters, is the language of the left.

Closed minds and avoiding conversation seems to be the common trait of the Romney crowd. If you notice, they only attack, they do not challenge, or even acknowledge the fact based posts about the Romneys, they only attack and name call.

Yeah, I really don’t get too many FReepers anymore.

Bunch of whiners they have become.

Instead of fighting communists in our country, seems they’d rather whine.

Despicable.

So you want to only read ideas by those that agree with you, and everyone else disappears poof?

Well I like this place because we don't all have have to think exactly the same. Your idea sounds very sterile and cult-like.

If you are waiting for posters critical of Romney to be zotted then you are in for a long wait.
