I'm sick of seeing her face on my TV along with her husband. Why do these media idiots keep giving them attention When was the last time anyone from the media interview Tipper Gore?

(2,795 posts)Now that Christie has fallen from grace, the GOP doesn't have an electable candidate.
Maybe that's why we keep seeing her smug mug tsking everyone for not electing the savior, Mitt. The rich media owners want their rich Mitt for president and will help give him a chance.

(24,347 posts)and say that I'd be surprised if Ann Romney thought any different. Mitt's her husband, she loves him, she thinks he'd be a good President, so therefore she thinks we missed out by not electing him. It's not entirely unreasonable for her to think that.
What I don't get is why what Ann Romney says is news.

(2,088 posts)Surely it could cross her mind that even if she thinks her husband is qualified, someone else might also be.

(30,247 posts)The reason why the Romneys have been recently in the news is due to the documentary on the family that was recently released.

(9,117 posts)Ann Romney loves her husband and has faith in his judgement and section-making processes. I find that touching.
Nevertheless, I profoundly disagreed with Mitt's real agenda and I'm grateful that Ann's hubby went down to defeat in November2012.

(24,324 posts)It makes me want to throw up.
I don't think Ann Romney has any idea what 'love' is.
Do I? Maybe, maybe not. But what she feels is not love. it is blind, ignorant addiction.
She 'felt' in her heart' that "her dear sweet husband' was going to win. What about her brain?
Something inside her is twisting her into a painful knot. She may not even know it is there. She may feel that is the 'normal' human condition.
There is something just, really sick about her , something perhaps even more unbalanced than her husband.
And that people like this can get so close to the presidency is really frightening.
Of course, on the other hand, there are those with the same and similar psychological disturbances, so many of them, who HAVE reached such positions of power.

I can just imagine. Thank God he's not in there. Now if the family would just shut up and quit dreaming.....

(30,247 posts)Romney is HER husband. Why would she not think that he was the better choice? It doesn't seem to me to be a fair question.
If Obama by some unforeseeable reason had lost, wouldn't Michelle have said something similar to Ann's comments?
pangaia
(24,324 posts)She has more respect for herself, for her husband, for the presidency and for the country.
Ann Romney is a sick, psychologically disturbed woman who is in denial about her own problems.
Beacool
(30,247 posts)I don't think she said anything inappropriate, considering that she's a Republican and Romney's wife.
pangaia
(24,324 posts)But I do think she was childish and disrespectful and behaved like the psychologically disturbed woman she is.

(81,238 posts)Glad you're here! Yes, her ladyship ann of dressage would have been SOOOO to the manor born there. All the "you people" types would be where their proper place is, in her view: permanently on the OUTSIDE, locked out, most fortunate if they're allowed to be looking in. And constantly fed the crap-diet of "just keep on voting republi-CON and you'll be rich like us someday!" And other fantastic fables and fairytales. Yeah, THAT'S the ticket.

(3,544 posts)Up until the very last moment, they actually thought Mitt was going to win. Now ask yourself, after all the crap that idiot stirred up, especially with his 47% remark, who in their right mind would actually think they had a chance of winning? It seems apparent to me, they're all delusional. Don't the Rmoneys have better things to do with their money than complain. Waaaaaaaa Booooo Hoooooo. Take a trip to Australia!! Gee, the rest of us got over it, why can't they?
Dear media: I don't care how slow it is in the newsroom, these two are not worth the wasted time and money it takes to broadcast them.
Beacool
(30,247 posts)What would the wives of other defeated nominees have said? Of course they thought that their husband's would have done a better job.
Did anyone expect her to say that electing Obama was a better choice than electing her husband?

Proud Liberal Dem
(24,412 posts)or has the MSM given a big megaphone and lots of publicity to Republican losers since 2008? I don't EVER remember any losing Democratic candidates being given as much publicity in recent years. AFAIK no media outlet talked much to or about Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, or Kerry much after their losing campaigns let alone give them or their wives a huge platform to complain about how they were wronged by losing and sowing bitter grapes. The MSM nowadays can't get enough of McCain, Palin (a VP nominee), Romney, and we pretty much only hear from or about them and most of the Republican leadership week after week after week............It's like their whole idea of "balance" is to give the Republicans almost all of the publicity since a Democrat is in the WH and has his/her own platform.
