Ann Romney: 'I doubt' we'll take as many overseas vacations as the Obamas
The HIll ^ | 6/15/12 | Justin Sink -

Posted on 06/18/2012 9:31:49 AM PDT by Nachum

Ann Romney, the wife of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, said Monday that she doubted she and her husband would vacation overseas as frequently as the Obamas if her husband were elected.

Romney was responding to a question from WJR Detroit's Frank Beckmann, who asked Romney if her family would be vacationing abroad as frequently as the Obamas.

"I doubt that," Romney replied. "Our vacations and our happiness come from being with our children and our grandchildren."

The headline implies an arrogance akin to Odumbutt & The Mooch's, but the actual words of Ann Romney's reply are something else entirely.

HEADLINE: Ann Romney: 'I doubt' we'll take as many overseas vacations as the Obamas

The HIll ^ | 6/15/12 | Justin Sink - to a new low

Romney was responding to a question from WJR Detroit's Frank Beckmann, who asked Romney if her family would be vacationing abroad as frequently as the Obamas.

"I doubt that," Romney replied. "Our vacations and our happiness come from being with our children and our grandchildren."

This kind of writing allows readers who don't go beyond skimming the headlines to fill in their own reasons that have nothing to do with children providing the happiness.

alas, no, I don’t.

If you think it's bad now.. I'm sure that by the last week of October most threads will be unreadable for any actual thoughtful comments.

Even on a thread about a father saving his 5 year old from a rapist, someone posted that the rapist must be a friend of Romney or some such mush.

Oh look, it's the fearful EASILY DECEIVED.

Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Romney, satan's pawn, got his supporters through fear. Barry got his who have no problem with evil. Romney and his godless groupies vs. Barry and his godless groupies.

Evil vs. evil - gee, I wonder who will win.

The godless stand for nothing and will fall for anything. So evil uses a cult leader or a muslim - either way, victory for 'one nation under evil/godless'. Mission accomplished by the fearful who do not trust God, who is love, but bowed to fear/satan/torment.

I too voted for Newt in the primary, however he was not successful

No, the faithless weak voters bowed to the lies of Romney and Rick - the design all along. Newt didn't fail - voters did, they failed America and succumbed to the snares of evil. They ignore the conservative, a proven patriot with the Constitution running through his veins for the lies of his opponents.

maybe you should concentrate your efforts into getting our nominee elected or would you prefer 4 more years of 0bama?

First, mitt is not our nominee - who told you that? Just repeating what you were told? Saying something that ISN'T a FACT - like Romney? Is it August where you live? And I see you were brought into the web of deception through FEAR, also. That doesn't work with me, I don't submit to fear which is satan's tool. God protects HIS OWN. You, obviously, don't believe/KNOW that.

You fear satan more that you believe/trust God. Nothing good will come of that.

I don't taint myself for anyone - that is where my effort is! You live in your torment, which fear has, and I'll live in God's love. He protects HIS OWN, those who NEVER - no matter what - bows to evil. You can't serve two masters - one always wins out.

It's when the back is against the wall - what is stronger within raises up/comes out - good or evil and the spiritually weak always fails. Those who lived their beliefs all along, which are now deep rooted, will never bow to evil.

I don’t mind some and we may need to keep Romney’s feet to the conservative fire, but at this point it is Romney the Mormon or Obama the Destroyer.

I am not a fan of Mormon’s, but I don’t fear them. As for debate on Mitten’s moderate behavior, I don’t deny it, but I don’t see him running over congress and the constitution like Obama so brazenly does. If we get in conservative Representatives and Senators, Romney will work with them. Obama will not.

Maybe the poster see's how LIES worked for Romney (and barry), so why not try it and see what sticks.

The motto for one nation under evil - LIE and WIN.

For some time now I’ve been puzzled by this term “GOP E” and/or “GOP E-RINO”. What does it mean? GOP “equivalent” or GOP “electronic” (RINO)?

None of these make sense; I can’t figure it out.

So what’s it mean? (anyone?)

Romney’s feet to the conservative fire.

What conservative, those who bowed to him already? Romney hates conservatism - why do you refuse to believe that? EVIL hates Good.

And Romney certainly proved that with his 3+ years of LIES, SMEARS against Sarah through his minions. She's the same Sarah for years before that - but once conservative Sarah was a threat to him and what evil wanted, AMERICA, his attacks began. Then came conservative, Constitution runs through his veins, proven Patriot NEWT, Mitt's 24/7 attacks began and voters succumbed to evil mitt. And those conservatives who wanted favor bowed to evil, also.

but at this point it is Romney the Mormon or Obama the Destroyer.

Wrong. Keep it honest. Romney isn't just a pew sitter.

Romney the cult leader vs. Obama, the muslim. Evil comes in different ways to deceive whomever it can with a broad brush, now both sides of the political process for a win/win.

Greek name for Satan meaning “Destroyer”.

I’m a realist, it took a while for us to get into the situation we’re in and it’ll take a while for us to get out of it. we weren’t strong enough to get a good conservative nominated this election cycle so I’d rather have a rino like romney than a communist like 0bama as caretaker until we can get a real conservative.

The "E" is for "Elite" ...

You'll see variations on how it placed with "GOP" and "RINO" ...

E-GOP, GOP E-RINO ...

I’m a realist

So a realist believes a liar! And the realist lives in fear. More like faithless.

while for us to get into the situation we’re in and it’ll take a while for us to get out of it.

You are only getting in deeper! I thought you were a realist?

. we weren’t strong enough to get a good conservative nominated this election cycle

I thought you said you voted for NEWT? We did have a good and PROVEN conservative - the voters weren't STRONG in what they 'claim' they believe in - America!! Who - of ALL the candidates had that? He has the proof of what he could do - all the others had was 'talk' But voters quickly latched onto either Cain, MB or Rick who did NOT have the qualifications for the highest office in the land.

They rushed to who they 'liked' - and not who was proven and BEST for America. This should have been the easier of all elections!! There was ONLY ONE candidate for America! Yet, voters jumped from one candidate to another - talk about confused, naive, ill informed, easily deceived voters! And Newt was the last one - minus the wack job who is the liar's friend - the reason he was in.

so I’d rather have a rino like romney than a communist like 0bama as caretaker

Well you don't have a rino, you have a LIBERAL!! At least 'try' to keep it honest even though you succumbed to the LIAR. Both romney and obama embrace socialism/liberalism. Romneycare/Obamacare, baby killing, pro homo, high taxes.. NOTHING republican about him, so impossible for him to be a rino! until we can get a real conservative.

After what the LIAR has done viciously to conservatives since 08; namely, Sarah and then Newt and voters and the gop succumbed to it - you are not a realist but a dreamer.

America is ONE BIG party for the Obama’s. Golf whenever, where ever, vacation 5 star whenever, where ever, eat 5 star gourmet wherever or fly it in!

Say NO RESTRICTIONS for the obama’s or EVIL knows no bounds - same thing.
