Ann Romney Comes To Florida For A Shameless Breast Cancer Photo Op [by @BeachPeanuts]
By Imani Gandy (ABL) October 21st, 2012

This post is by Martha Jackovics aka @BeachPeanuts. Before you read it, you must understand that Mitt Romney supports the Blunt Amendment which would permit your employer to deny you breast cancer screenings (as well as a laundry list of other preventive healthcare services primarily used by women). Period. -ABLxx

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer? What’s Wrong With This Picture?



Notice anything unusual in this photo? I did right away. Normally when there’s a breast cancer walk or similar fundraising event, those pink t-shirts the participants wear promote the effort in the battle against the disease. Call me crazy, but I don’t see anything on the front of those t-shirts that mentions breast cancer. However, they do promote the effort that Ann Romney cares about most:

Getting her husband into the White House.



Supporting women, my ass, kpete
hmphhhhhh

[Raster]

1. Oh Ann. Presumptuous, arrogant, ostentatious, condescending Ann.

Fuck you, and the horse you danced in on.

[russspeakeasy]

2. You took the words right out of my mouth !

[AlinPA]

5. I have some other words for her but can't use them here. Name calling is frowned on by some here, so

I'll just swear under my breath. I just can't imagine Mitt Romney caring about women's health even though his wife fakes it for him.

[crunch60]

37. Bravo, well said!

[Angry Dragon]

3. Below Team Romney it says RomneyRyan2012

It just shows that they will take a disease that kills many women into a campaign event

Team Romney brings to mind projectile vomit

[madaboutharry]

4. That is very craven if you ask me.

The Romney's are so clueless that it would never dawn on them how inappropriate this looks.

[Plucketeer]

27. Maybe.....

Maybe this is the "coming out" of the rest of Mitt's harem! These are probably all wives of his.

[nxylas]

29. Don't these people have campaign advisers?

The fight against breast cancer is something so uncontroversial that one would simply assume that any candidate would be in favor of it, even if they didn't show up at all. To turn it into a campaigning opportunity shows a crassness that is absolutely staggering.

[nc4bo]

6. I go every Fri. to the Friends of the Cancer Center, Cape Fear Valley Hospital - Artful Reflections

Program (as a helper/volunteer) and let me tell you, those women (and men) have more grace, courage, love and strength in their little pinky toe nails than 100 Ann Romneys in 10,000 lifetimes.

She is a despicable, classless, tasteless, clueless, selfish woman and should be ashamed of herself.

[SugarShack]

7. I work in politics and the last race we asked to have a table? NO! Walk with them in our shirts? NO!

Nothing like that is ever allowed in our walks and drives against breast cancer. This is what our campaign was told....so shame on the foundation. But they're losing support anyway over the sister running the foundation. This won't help. The foundation is in St Pete. We will remember.

[SunSeeker]

46. It's this sort of RW politicization that killed Komen for the Cure.

I am really shocked that the American Cancer Society let this go on at their fundraiser. Then again, maybe they didn't know Ann would show up with her "Team Romney" t-shirts, kind of like when Paul Ryan barged in on that soup kitchen for his photo op.

Even more shocking that she would show up at a breast cancer fundraiser after her husband says he'll shut down Planned Parenthood, which gives 47% of ALL breast exams in the United States.


Sickening.

[Mc Mike]

56. +1.

There is no 'too low' or 'too hypocritical' for a repug campaign.

[War Horse]

8. Shamelss is right. Wow. n/t

[nolabear]

9. Spot the Secret Service Guy.

[kpete]

10. the pink shirt in the corner

tee hee

[DollarBillHines]

11. Notice that there is no print on his shirt.

Blends right in, doesn't he?

What a bunch of shit, politicizing Breast Cancer.

Fucking hypocrites.

[crunch60]

38. Guy's.. the other one has his shades hanging over the neck of his pink tee.. wow guys, you really

look ... undercover

[win_in_06]

43. Has to be a guy?

I was thinking the hot brunette holding the water bottle.

[OldDem2012]

12. Hypocritical asses. nt.

[GeorgeGist]

13. Sociopaths are Shameless!

[begin_within]

14. She keeps saying she's not running for anything, yet she won't stay off-camera.

[Raster]

15. And to think the Rmoney campaign limits her appearances so we don't get tired of her.

Dude, that train has sailed.

[Irishonly]

16. Disgusting

I am surprised the Cancer Society let her by with it. Komen would not have been so much of a surprise.

I will email and ask why. They depend on donations from people of all political stripes. Cancer knows no class, race or political leanings and Romney in the White House puts everyone at risk.

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

17. we love you women

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE PICKING ON QUEEN ANN AND HER HAND MAIDENS ITS HARD YOU KNOW.WE SHOULD BE thankful mitt is willing to led us :

[randome]

25. "We love you, breasts!"

[BVictor1]

18. "Team Romney" is more like a walking Pepto-Bismol ad.

And why are their hands up?

Are they cheering or praising G0d?

[JohnnyRingo]

19. Ann Romney has two facial expressions

The "vote for Mitt" fake smile plastered on her face here, and the "I caught the help stealing" look that she wears more often. I don't know how anyone can possibly identify with her.

[WCLinolVir]

42. The look on AR's face is perfect.

Nice work.

[AspenRose]

50. Who painted that? That's awesome.

.

[Quantess]

57. I Love that!

Who did that, I wonder.

[SoapBox]

20. Shameless indeed.

[goclark]

21. check the phony crowd

two AA's - my sisters don't look happy to be there.
Close in shot...25/30 paid enabler's Maximum.

Shameful to use a worthy cause in this tacky way.

PhonyAnn shows once more that she is scum!

[heaven05]

22. well

what do you expect. It's a shameless family. From not feeling any shame about their family generational habit of not defending our county in ANY branch of the service in ANY of America's conflicts, although tagg the fool has enough testicular material to threaten the POTUS because he calls a liar, a liar. Don't forget tax returns, bain, job shipped to China for the rmoney family personal profit. Be damned the lives and families destroyed by those actions is how they act. Shameless and shameful. All these smiling sheeple behind her. I just don't understand it.

[LittleGirl]

23. My husband ran a marathon Saturday

Here in Indy and there were several political t-shirts promoting the local Gov race for Mike Pence.

[Hutzpa]

24. *Shameful* nt

[DirtyDawg]

26. Tell what I...

...notice. That if that asshole actually ends up as President, this 'woman' will be known by all as First Bitch...I also note that the Secret Service agents with her, at least, didn't have to wear Team Rmoney on their 'disguises' - that's something anyway. I also know that even though I'm absolutely on board with the fight against breast cancer - my Momma lost out to it - that Komen (or however it's spelled) organization, which never seems to use their name while they're soliciting these days, will never again get a dime from me.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

28. Old saying: A politician sees a parade and jumps in front of it pretending to lead it.

[Actionman]

30. Ann really thinks she going to be a queen...

So she loves women, she is just like her husband do anything to get him elected. She thinks she is going to be crowned queen of the US.

[Panasonic]

31. Was this a Komen race?

Par for the course, actually.

[Blue Owl]

32. Maybe it's just implied that Romney = Cancer

n/t

[locdlib]

33. so offensive on so many levels

i am someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. i cannot express enough how angry it makes me to see this. the women who chose to go along with this must be brainless.

[Contrary1]

34. Wow! She's just like one of us!

Would throwing my breast prostheses at her be considered bad form?
They are silicon, super-soft, and so life-like!

[crunch60]

35. I'll join you.. Ann Romney is a shameless opportunistic

Bitch!, as low as you can go. She use Breast Cancer as a marketing tool for her husband's campaign. She does not have a clue how offensive this is to women, men and their families who have had to deal with this horrible disease, the pain, suffering and death it causes. Ann Romney makes me want to

[Sophiegirl]

36. Anyone else notice

The expressions on all of the men's faces?

[Liberal_in_LA]

39. is that secret service in the gray and shades?

they really stand out.

[WCLinolVir]

40. WOW, she really gets a lot of mileage from a lumpectomy.

I will believe she actually had cancer when I see the pathologists' report. She had a lumpectomy, according to research, no chemo, no radiation. I have had two breast cancer scares, as I call them, and two lumpectomies and multiple needle biopsies. I had abnormal pre-cancerous cells. My mother had breast cancer. I know the difference. That this ***** thinks of disease as a great equalizer is clueless. That she uses a disease to promote herself is sick.

[lpbk2713]

41. She's slumming with the unclean masses.

That's definitely not a $900 Team rMoney shirt there.

[Hepburn]

55. WTF is Anne wearing?

Looks like a bird is eating her right breast....

[madrchsod]

44. no fucking` class what so ever....

this country has sunk so low that someone that classless could actually inhabit the white house

[SunSeeker]

45. "Team Romney"? Is Mitt a teenage vampire?

[elbloggoZY27]

47. BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Extremly unacceptable and tasteless.

A true insult to Women who have Cancer.

You get a F-.

[Voice for Peace]

48. this means if we elect Mitt, breast cancer will go away.

? is that the message ¿

[trailmonkee]

49. I am pretty sure the guy at the front right is secret service

[Bucky]

52. I clicked on this thread cause the heading said something about breasts. I'm disappointed.

[MuhkRahker]

53. She's disguating.

Shame on her.

[Hepburn]

54. Soooooo, Queen Annie...how about Planned Parenthood?

They screen for this...you support them, too? Ooooooooooh, I see: Just an RW photo-op.
