Mittens' speech was a JOKE.

It was the typical claptrap one might expect from a self-absorbed babyboomer.

I know something about self-absorbed babyboomers because I am one and I have been spoiled and for this I am not proud.

I don't give a twit about his daddy putting no stupid rose by his mothers's bedside.

I don't give a twit about his PERFECT wife or his PERFECT kids.

Times are bad.

Times were bad in 1980 just as they are bad today in 2012 when a real conservative named Ronald Reagan accepted the nomination for president.

Ronald Reagan LOVED Nancy Reagan every bit as much as he Mittens loved his wife. Ronald Reagan loved his kids just as much as Mittens loves his PERFECT kids although his kids were neither submissive nor perfect. Whether Ronald Reagan worshiped his daddy like Mittens worshiped his daddy is quite another question.

When Ronald Reagan accepted the GOP nomination for the Presidency of these United States, it was not PERSONAL, it was not about him, he was humbled and honored by the opportunity to serve his country.

Ronald Reagan made NO mention of his family because he had a vision greater than the vision one sees when one looks in the mirror.

Ronald Reagan mentioned Lincoln, Thomas Paine, and one his earliest heroes who was Franklin Delano Roosevelt but there was NO mention of his successes nor his resume.

If any Freeper would like to read the speech of the GREATEST CONSERVATIVE PRESIDENT to ever hold Our Republic's highest office then they need to go to this address.

Now hold your horses, son. I watched Reagan in two terms as a governor before he ran for president.

Whatever else we can say about Reagan, his children were always problematic (to say the least).

These things happen with great men sometimes, but it's not a reason to jump on the Romneys.

We've got to get over this clone Reagan thing. Real people are real individuals, and that means they're different than anyone else.

Yeah, I can tell. Romney isn't your idea of the PERFECT candidate, so you are throwing a temper tantrum like a self=absorbed spoiled brat.

There are no PERFECT candidates. Even Reagan wasn't PERFECT, although he was the greatest President of the 20th Century. Romney has many flaws, but he's unquestionably better than the Liberal Messiah.

This is a different time and Romney is not Reagan, no one is and the reason and intent for the speech given by Romney was to introduce him to America on his own terms and not allow the media portrayal of him stand.

If he cannot raise his favorability ratings it will be that much more difficult for him and Ryan to get their message out to the folks.

A shrink would have a field day analyzing your “PERFECT...PERFECT...PERFECT” rant about Romney and his family.
