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'm not saying we have to lie and pretend Romney is the answer to our prayers and we believe in everything he does and says, just that we cannot accomplish what we need to by bashing him and his family every time the subject comes up. If all that we knew about him was not enough to convince a majority of voters in the primaries, then this is what we end up with and we have to live with it. Living through four more years - or more - of Obama is just unthinkable. Isn't it for you??? What choice do we have right now for this election? It is either Romney or Obama - who do you want?
I wonder how many will continue to send money to Free Republic if this BS continues..

Zot cat has brain damage and zots posters that don’t need to be zotted and leaves the ones that do. Weird.
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the interview, which now has to be paid for to read, Ann was describing how difficult life was for them as students, but as a reader (I read it a few years ago), I was laughing at her, it was hilarious stuff, they were living well, and were celebrities and the golden couple.
Here is an example of how the public perceived the interview. By the way, after graduating from a life of private schools, Ann spent a freshman semester at the University of Grenoble in France.
"and her portrayal of the couple's student years as financially impoverished, while they lived off of sales of George Romney's stock and loans, made her seem privileged and naïve and brought a harsh public reaction.[31][32][15] Boston University political science professor later said, "She definitely hurt him in that race."
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.

I feel the same way. I popped in tonight after the convention party and same ole same ole. I can go to DU if I want to see this crap. The trolls have taken over FR and they are allowed to do it. It’s BS!
BUMP!
Do you have an example of anything posted that might be useful to the democrat party?
Anything at all?
Do you think that the democrats don’t know about Ann Romney’s strong pro-abortion convictions, and financial support for Planned Parenthood?
So, GO VOTE FOR OBAMA and join DU.
We already know, for post after post after post after post, there is no way you’ll vote vote for Romney. WE GET IT.
Go ahead Ansel..Reelect the Marxist Obama ..You’ll love his abortion stance.
Stop trying to play innocent! You’re an IDIOT!
and here is the post you asked about:

It is on now 10:15pm EST
Ann just mentioned rising gas and food prices. Doesn’t she have her chauffeur and maid take care of those for her? I would have cut that part out of the speech.

You assume ansel needs to join DU. I would bet the farm he or she already is a member and has been for years. The trolls have been ALLOWED to take over FR.
there was a day here when we had snugs from England and a daily post on the life of GWB..I could not go to bed until I visited that site!!! then obama arrived..I just can't give him any respect...
But I will tell you ...tonight after hearing Ann Romney speech I felt PRIDE like I did when Reagan was President and it has gave me faith that a change is coming..
I hope this site soon improves otherwise my visits will come to an end as well as support even though it is not a lot of bucks I can donate...
I wish ya’all a good nite and prayers for the safety of those in the path of the storm...

Man, you are the definition of troll, look at your posting style, attack, name call, personalize, avoid facts and substance, more attack, more personal attacks, more name calling, nothing of substance.
After reading too many posts by those in FR who profess to be 'purists' in Christian theology and "conservative" political ideology, I am disappointed. My observation is that these same have become, in words and actions, all but pharisees. In your zealousness to display your 'purity,' you've destroyed your testimony. Rather than being what Christ would have you be, 'fishers of men,' you've left behind and forgotten something very important. You need a net. You've armed yourselves, instead, with whips and hammers, and in some cases, axes. Has it not yet dawned on you that YOU may be the ONLY Christian that some of these folks who you're so intent upon castrating and decapitating may ever talk to? How do you win over an unbeliever, a Jew, a Mormon, an atheist, a lost soul by behaving in ways similar to or worse than ANY non-Christian? Would you speak the same to little children and expect them to admire and respect you, to listen unquestioningly to your words and ideas?You're to be as salt, not to inflict wounds, but to add a tasteful and meaningful difference to a lost world and in the process, draw others to Christ. Does this mean your actions will always be perfect? No, because in our own strength, we cannot be. However, Paul writes in Philippians, "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ" (1:27). We must strive to become more Christ-like in our demeanor, behavior, and treatment of others. Though we are imperfect, we must strive to become more like Him.
"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God [Phil 1:9-11].
That’s true. I wouldn’t doubt you’re right.
I figured it out, they aren’t scorched Earth Republicans, they are a part of doomsday cult, who think that they can escape the tribulation that would result from an Obama re-election, by either escaping in a space ship or hunkering down in some wilderness shelter, off the grid. Ron Paul is their Marshall Applegate.
check it out...
Yup, another bash Romney thread..that is all we will see all through the election.
I think Ann is one classy and strong lady I would rather see in the WH...but you won’t hear that here.
If I wanted to hear Ann bashed I could go to DU.
Amen, Recovering Ex-hippie. Geesh, I thought I had landed on DU when I read most of the comments on this thread.
You are not alone... there are many of us who are really sick and tired of the constant whining on FR lately. It's beyond ridiculous at this point.
Ann was terrific..
DEFEAT THE OBAMANATION
I want my country back.
