Will Ann Romney’s speech be enough to turn women into Romney voters?
Ann Romney took the stage at the Republican National Convention in Tampa Tuesday night…. She seemed to be sunshine itself. In a bespoke, belted, Oscar de la Renta shirtdress of fire-engine red—with a glorious blonde coif that will no doubt inspire salon requests— Ann Romney looked like a pinup girl on a USO tour. A bombshell. At 63. She was fantastic (said a Republican spin doctor).
She impressed everyone because she is 63 years old and looks 30. (said the Republican Campaign Manager)
Will Ann Romney’s speech be enough to turn women into Romney voters?
The question was asked on the internet today.
Which of the following answers do you agree with?
1. Can we please just hear about the ISSUES that are important....like, taxes, the economy, gas prices, jobs?????
2. I understand she has an illness that can be very trying. I cannot help but wonder why Mitt would take on the task of running for president when he has a wife that may need more and more of his attention in the coming years.
3. No 'regular' woman from the 99% can relate to this plastic over-entitled wench.
4. Never would I vote for a party that discriminates agains women.
-
5. Her biggest problem is figuring out which of her 5 mansions to stay at - and whether or not the maid and cook are working those days. Otherwise, she might have to clean or cook something herself! THE HORRIR!
6. We been cutting taxes with Bush-it welfare tax cuts to the rich and its not working! The rich took their money and ran to the foreign accounts just asked Willard!
7 When the GOP can convince me that the US Chamber of Commerce, the Koch Bros, Sidney Adelson and the 30 other billionaires funding Romney have women's "interests" at heart (or anyone's other than from their socio-economic group), then I'll pay attention.
8. I was sorry to hear how much she suffered, and scrapped by, she should get a medal. She only has a couple of cadillacs, and only one car elevator.
9. nothing in the world that she could say will make you vote for her Mittens. Sorry Ann, run for office if that's what you want to do after you secure your husband's permission. How many Mormon women in politics outside of Utah?
10. This article makes me wish it still came in newspaper form ..... so I could line the bottom of my birdcage with it.
11. I was curious what the Mormon take is on women since Mitt and Anne are Mormons. This is what I found on Mormonwikia: "Mormons believe that raising children is truly the only thing women have really been designed to do.
12. Sorry, he is NOT getting this female vote!
13. She showed her real thoughts when she said, "I have a real marriage" that might not sit well with divorced mothers, single mothers, mothers with boy friends, lesbian mothers, or widowed mother.
14. - First off. LIKE HELL! She looks about 60 w/ far too much makeup on.
15. She should look younger though. Any woman who's never had to work a single day in her life or ever had to worry for a minute about money.
16. Giving millions to a group/cult who spends their money to further its fight against the gay community - is not what I'd call charitable.
17. Release your tax returns - let's see how much went to further that cause?
18. - Ann Romney's speech meant absolutly nothing ! You can
19. She cannot gloss over the fact that the GOP wants total control of women's bodies. They are going to force you to have babies you don't want and then not provide any healthcare to help provide for those babies.
20. I love it when Republicans tell Americans they have to sacrifice while they give tax breaks to the wealthy.
21. One thing that I noticed that was grossly obvious at the RNC convention was that the entire audience was white and old. I didnt see a representation of the American Public whatsoever
22. (Ann) only represents 5% of the women (rich, white and doesn't work)
23. if Anne came from middle class background her family would probably be going bankrupt due to medical bills
24. a real woman? who brings their private doctor with them to an event?
25. As long as Republicans see fit to deny women healthcare, contraception, equal pay, and the ability to determine what we do with our own bodies then all the pretty smiles and I love yous are superfluous.
26. Ann does not represent American women - she's elitist, intolerant, airhead who lives in an ivory tower with no idea or empathy for the suffering her husband personally caused when he destroyed American companies, outsourced American jobs, emptied pension plans and hid those personal profits overseas in secret bank accounts and shell companies to avoid American taxes.
27. so a Mormon woman married to a multimillionare, a woman who doesn't work and has a staff of four to help raise her kids, is the standard now for average American women? I don't think so.
28. she's trying to convince other women she's just like them?
29. She is a great actress, but a rich @%#&*, that doesn't have a clue what the real world is, nor does her husband.

Ann Romney has 10 houses... the latest one in La Jolla, CA has a nifty car elevator for her many cars, one for each day of the week.
Oh by the way, did you happen to see her show horse in the Olympics?
Unlike you, she has a $100Million tax exempt retirement 401K fund in the Cayman Islands.
