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.

Wow, the community islamo-marxist is rotflhao reading these comments from his supposed enemies!! He’s thinking with friends like these he can go back to his golfing until November!

An extremely important point. Not only will the Dems use EVERY negative about Mitt from the primaries said about him, but even now some are STILL feeding them the ammunition! Obama's camp won't need to hire advisers to come up with the ads, just come to "Conservative" sites and get 'em for free. Come on, folks, the time for fighting AGAINST Romney is over, we have to start fighting FOR him - or at least not against him - if there is any hope that Obama will be evicted in January. We have to stop fighting against our own candidate! He's not perfect - far from it - but he IS ours this time around. The adage is true - you shouldn't cut off your nose to spite your face.

Your expert opinion is that there is information on this thread, that the democrat party is unaware of?

What would be an example of that information?

“I agree with you, I just don’t understand it.”

Part of it is there are some who highlight Romney’s political weaknesses as a cover for their religious bigotry.

It’s posters like you that have chased me away from FR for the most part.

You are so blinded by your ‘holier than thou’ stance, that you can’t see evil when it smacks you in the face. The 0bama administration is evil through and through, as any thinking person sees on a daily basis.

Your stance enables the re-election of 0bama and insures 0bamacare WILL become the law of the land. How many will be dead because of your self important purity? Is your last name Akin?

BRAVO! I’m glad you let ansel have it up one side and down the other and it’s posters(closet trolls, many of them) that have caused me to seek greener pastures. I won’t be a part of any place that aids in the re-election of the Marxist, closet Muslin, closet Homosexual, Kenyan. This is NOT the same FR I enjoyed since 2008. The past few months have made it a hostile environment in my book. Often no different than DU.

She is absolutely fantastic, what a beautiful and capable woman Ann is! Ann Romney would make an absolutely amazing First Lady. She’s a successful mother, wife, and most recently as a fabulous speaker at the GOP convention!

You can’t take Ann’s success away from her! No matter how hard you try.

I thought Ann Romney’s speech was extraordinary...and was impressed with her humanity and warmth.

In fact, I thought all of tonight was great.

Go Mitt! America needs you.
