Ann Romney, mega-whiner: "Mitt is much maligned"

Ann Romney Says Mitt Is Much Maligned, Emphasizes ‘Goodness of This Man’

NASHUA, N.H. – As night fell on a baseball stadium here in New Hampshire, Ann Romney rallied a crowd of thousands, hinting that with two months to go until the election, she’s already got her eye on an inauguration party in January, even if she believes her husband is “being maligned.”

“Let’s see what Mitt can do, and we’ll have this great joy together in January, and have a wonderful party in Washington, D.C., and celebrate the next president of the United States,” said Mrs. Romney, who introduced her husband this evening at the rally. The couple was positioned just behind home plate on the baseball diamond.

“Well, here we are. Let’s let it all begin. It’s a new day, and a new way for America,” said Mrs. Romney. “We’re excited about these next 60 days, and you guys have to help us make it happen.”

Speaking about last week’s convention, Mrs. Romney said she “loved” getting to speak about Romney and listening to others testify about his character.

“I loved it that people in our lives stood up and said, ‘Let me tell you another story, and that story is, he’s the man that was at the 14-year-old’s bedside when he was dying of leukemia,” she said. “He was the man that was at the bedside of a mother who had a premature baby three months before it was due.’”

Here are some other suggestions for the much-maligned Romneys:

stop lying, stop changing your political views on a daily basis.

stop pretending to be something you are not, i.e. someone who did not come from a position of great wealth and privilege.

stop maligning the poor.

stop advocating for policies that will hurt the poor and working class and everyone except the very wealthy.

repatriate your money hidden in off-shore tax shelters and be a good citizen by paying your fair share of taxes.

I mean, really. The first candidate not to reveal taxes and I guess he's entitled to be the first to be handled with kid gloves and never questioned.

compassion doesn't include anyone beyond those he came into contact with inside of his "ministry" in the Mormon congregation. Let's be honest here, Ann.

She strikes me as being way too naive to be involved in her husband's campaign. Just look at all the opposition and criticsm President Obama has faced and compare Michelle Obama's grace under that relentless pressure. The Romney's act as if they are entitled to praise without doing anything to deserve it.

the worse she will seem.

Ever take sandpaper to a finger?

The first swipe is almost nice, as though you are curing an itch.

The second, third, even fourth, is ok, but not pleasant.

By the time you hit 7, 8 or more, it is no longer discomfort, but agony.
