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.

The left talks like that, everything is “hate” and “haters”.

Cruise over to DU right now and see what a huge percentage of the vocabulary over there, consists of the two words, hate and haters.

When you see the charm with which Ann lies on video about abortion, it colors your opinion of her.

and.....? So the left defines what words I’m allowed to use? Free Speech only applies if it’s something you tell me isn’t said on a Democratic site? Get over yourself.

Romney can only fight conservative Republicans. His candidacy will result in another term for “The Divine One.” While I will vote I shall not cast a ballot for President.

I don’t really care what the Romney bashers have to say.

I didn’t back Romney in the primaries, but nobody seemed to back a viable alternative because Santorum or Gingrich or whoever was wrong on 5% of the issues.

I was 19 when I held my nose for McCain, because I saw through Obama as being nothing more than a disaster.

Now I’m one of thousands of unemployed college graduates, and the thought of 4 more years of this economy makes me sick.

I’m not going to sacrifice my adulthood with Obamanomics because Romney’s not my #1 choice, and if that makes me a CINO because I want to do stuff like get married and have a family one day, so be it. I personally feel like I don’t have a choice otherwise.

I merely pointed out how childish and immature it is, that is why I suggested that you go over to DU to see that it is the choice of that crowd, they use it on everything, they don’t know better, do you?

When you see it used as you use it, constantly by unthinking liberals, then you can see how cheesy your post was.

Lift up America to what? A watered down version of what Obama has to offer? Mitt’s a moderate at best a liberal at worst.

So go vote for Obama. I mean, what the f else do you have to offer?

I agree with you, I just don't understand it. We are going down the “hole” in debt, government is all over us, more regulations, etc. and some on this site just bash Romney, especially Ann. I don't get it.

Some on this thread are probably trolls and from the DU. Why else would they bash a women who raised 5 kids, has MS and survived breast cancer.

When these people on this thread that are bashing Ann wake up on Nov. 7 and realize “hey I should have voted - what's this Obama was reelected?” Oh well - Enjoy.

Oh, thanks for the support of Romney, seems like just a couple of us here in that category.

Congratulations. You are far wiser than the scorched earth conservatives here who are probably at least twice your age.

I agree.

Mrs Romney seems to be a very nice lady Dedicated to her husband and family.

Had to endure breast cancer and MS. but still willing to be put through the ringer of public life.

Good luck tonight, Mrs R.

You hate Romney. That is a fact. We get it. Your posts make it clear. So now I’m childish, immature and cheesy. And you should know, you are such an authority. I’ve read lots of your posts. Go hang out with the DUmmies a little more, you must spend a lot of your time there, knowing what is always said on that site. Get your complimentary Obama bumper sticker yet?

“forget saying anything nice on this site about Ann...
this is only time to bash Romney. with FRiends like this, who needs enemies.

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.”

They rather keep Obama because he really isnt all that bad ya know?

Dont bother asking them how they will get rid of him in 2012. Their brains have long since taken a pass on really hard questions like that.

It’s easier to go after Romney.

Have you seen the charming video of her supporting abortion?
