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.

Doesn’t matter, if you belong to a Christian church, then it has the same position on the religion called Mormonism.

Oh it does matter. My church does not condemn anyone elses church.

It is strictly there to pass along the Word of God. Very simple.

If your church engages in condemning others, perhaps you should look for a true Church of God.

If you aren’t a Christian then these things shouldn’t obsess you so much.

Not being a Christian should temper your interest in the subject.

Since you could not comprehend my last statement...I am DONE with this thread.

Apparently you have a default in reading comprehension. Go take your Mormon hate elsewhere....and DO NOT respond to me any longer, please.

Nothing you have posted has made sense, especially all the leftist cries of “hate” hate” “hate” to describe everything that you you don’t like or agree with.

The left uses that one word vocabulary for everything.

The chanting of it seems to replace thought and communication for them.

And what in the bloody hell does that belief of his have to do with the people that he will lead now? Nothing. Just like a belief in literal transubstantiation had nothing to do with JFK’s leadership. You just have a problem with his religion, which you need to deal with, because he is going to win and he is going to do a better job than Obama could ever do. Come up with relevant facts if you want any respect here. Don’t stretch the real negatives you have further than they actually go. That is another form of lying, and sleeping with the enemy, really.

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
_________________________
I know EXACTLY how you feel. I feel the same. Romney sure wasn’t my choice and I didn’t vote for him, BUT now Ryan is in the picture and we have 2 choices and only 2. Give the Marxist Hussein 4 years as a lame duck( shudder at the thought) or vote for Romney and hope he can kick the anti-Colonialist Barry Soetoro back to Kenya. It’s an easy choice for me.

In my life I have been a full time mother and in my 30’s became a nurse, full time....being a mother full time was far harder than being a nurse full time....in many small ways. A mother never gets to leave work and go home....There is no compensation in a paycheck for working only 40 hours a week...I don’t regret being a mother of 5 but if anyone doesn’t think its hard work, never tried it...Men, I love them all which is good because I have 4 sons and 1 daughter, 24/7/365 days a year...thy name is mother.. Women who work and look down on a woman that stays home to care for her family is speaking of things she knows nothing of...her job is far easier and she gets to go home everyday......

I don’t think you know what a fact is, I have posted many of them.

The Mormon leadership wanted Mitt in the presidency, the Holy Prophet himself gave permission for the run, the religion has cordinated millions of dollars in public relations money to tie in with Mitt’s run, and to capitalize on the mainstreaming of Mormonism to win converts in the cult.

Bishop Romney isn’t just some guy who goes to a church, Mitt has excommunicated people, he was in charge of their fate, Mitt was the authority deciding on who could become Temple Mormons, and eventually Gods.

The only reason that Mitt is running, is to avenge his father, and to serve Mormonism.

Pardon? You’re accusing me of hate towards Ann Romney? Hmmm. Sorry you feel that way. I don’t hate Ann. I just don’t care for her spouse.

As for Ann, well, bless her heart, she’s lovely, her family is lovely and I wish them all well.

And having my own family, I don’t need anyone to tell me about raising children.

Lift up might be a phrase too exaggerating though.

LOL sounds like you and your daughter are like me and my daughter..only our thing is I have no fashion sense and she was born with loads of it...she brings bags of new clothers I HAVE to try on and the ones she doesn’t like, she takes back to the store. I do have about 10 percent influence on what has recently ended up in my closet....It drives me nuts sometimes. My closet always looked like the one on.... What not to Wear....I wore them...:O)

Funny you should mention that because I posted a comment here about a small part of ARs speech half joking and I got a bunch of personal insults for it (by Romney bots obviously). I am used to this and it doesnt bother me in the least.

Yet the one poster who is driving most of you nuts on this thread does exactly the same thing to those who comment on his pet heroine, personal insults.. So Romney-bots are acting like all the other personality cult types. Bush, Palin, Perry, Paul ....-bots

Ironic justice. The finger points right back

Too ridiculous to even comment much on.

But I would probably rather be accused of the type bots you are referring to that be part of the anti Romney cult or bot as you call it.

Still a cesspool

Your post is like someone slicing open a fruitcake to see all the nuts. Even if your two paragraphs in the middle are gold plated fact, they are squishy religion and irrelevant. Your last is wild speculation, and quite unlikely. People much smarter than you have vetted Mitt for that sort of craziness.

I am done with your obstinate fascination with stuff that doesn’t matter. Babble on.
