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.

It’s quite sad this is still going on here so close to the election. They are trying to bring back the America we knew before Hussein took over. To attack Ann is pretty classless. Better to be around positive, uplifting people at this time. Good grief, what a disappointing thread.

Has anyone connected Ann's line “This Man will not Fail” with Paul Ryan's comment of Obama and his Administration being an “Utter Failure” ?

I have, to me it is the wind up on the mound, fast ball coming soon....

IMHO watch in the near future for the theme of "Failure", and it being rapped around Obama like a snuggy blanket....

Ann Romney seems like a lovely woman.

Yes, grace is a word that comes to mind.

I am so tired of the Holier than thou eat you peas closet Maoist we have now as the FLOTUS, She is to overbearing, I see no joy, optimism, or greater purpose like we did from Nancy Reagan, Laura Bush, or even Mrs. Carter who did a better job as FLOTUS IMHO than Michelle.

I am warming up to Mitt, but I am voting for Ann, just to bring some class and dignity back to 1600 Penn.

The tone she will set will be night and day compared to what it is now. It wouldn't surprise me if the White House Staff can't wait to get rid of the current occupants as well....

“They were rich, they never lived hard, even in college, when they needed to they would cash some of Mitt’s stock holdings, or whatever.”

You need to educate yourself before displaying your ignorance online. Start by researching the fact that Mitt donated his inheritance to charity (yes... church donations are charitable donations) and ultimately became successful “the hard way”. After being schooled on that subject, continue your research.

I don’t like Romney; I never wanted him as candidate. Still, it’s decent to give credit where credit is due, and he deserves credit for his financial success. As I did in ‘08, I’ll hold my nose and vote for him. After four more years of Obama, there will be no more America and we cannot afford that.

"this is only time to bash Romney. with FRiends like this, who needs enemies."

Amen. I thought Ann kicked some butt last night. Watched again this morning.

She will be a terrific First Lady and they will BOTH bring the respect of the White House back.

It has to be the Mormon issue. McCain was worse than Romney as a nominee and this site and the little whiny anti-Romney trolls got behind him, but now they can’t be quiet about bashing Romney.

What these whiners do not seem to get is the fact that staying home and not voting hurts real deal pro life conservatives on the local and national level. This mentality is why the left has entrenched itself in all institutions and regardless if they lose elections they still win because they NEVER throw their own under the bus like this even if the person isn't 100% down with their ideology. They get that it's who you send to the senate/congress and who gets on the courts that matter for YEARS to come.

RE :”Maybe they are fighting fire with fire. There is nothing on earth more syrupy, innocent, loving, wholesome etc. etc. etc. than the way the public is being spoon fed the Obama family, like they are some sort of gods. It really is enough to “gag me with a spoon”, and you can be sure that it most definitely doesn't reflect reality. From what I have seen, there's a whole lot of people who believe it, too.
I have an idea that the perfection being presented as the Romney family comes a bit closer to reality than any of the sickenly sweet mush out there, all over the place, about the Obamas

Those are two really good points. The MSM has done that with Obama so the RNC tried to make Ann Romney look like Olivia Walton.

Generally I find these staged events non-sense so it's even more fun for me to watch the Dem convention and make fun of them.

Christies line about telling seniors the truth made me gag too,

They also put their hatred of Romney AHEAD of saving America.

RE :”JEALOUS? You MUST be a liberal.

I am not running for POTUS nor are you supporting me for POTUS. However you are acting as a Romney agent and he is a LIBERAL.

Your RNC club's attempts to try to make Ann Romney look like Olivia Walton was silly.

Big AMEN to your post. Their hatred is so overwhelming, it just pours over.

And yet, these are the “declared Christians”.

Pfft.

RE :” 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.

So what website do you like to post on where the rules say that all the comments must look like this:

Romney looked really good last night”

Yes, I agree with you. I think he will make a great POTUS”

Yes, I agree with you Romney will save us”

Yes, I agree with you. He has all the answers”

Yes, I agree with you. Romney is a great American”

Yes, I agree with you. He will fix this country”

Yes, I agree with you. We need him as POTUS or we all will die”

Yes, I agree with you. You know it's amazing how much we think a-like. I get the impression that everyone thinks like us. We must be right.

???? That must be a great place for ideas HA-HA.

Oh my, it’s true ansell....you ARE an idiot!

This is about an ELECTION TO SAVE AMERICA. You instead put your hatred of Mormons AHEAD of your own country.

Nic is correct. You are certainly NOT behaving in a Christian manner.

Your HATRED is obvious and is as black as hell.

I believe what ansel is doing is called PRIDE, WRATH, LUST AND ENVY.

Four of the 7 deadly sins. Gee, what a Christian.
