What Ann Romney Thinks Of The 47%: 'My horse has more style and more class in its hoof than they do'

SORRY, BUT ANN ROMNEY DOES NOT THINK YOU PEOPLE ARE AS CLASSY AS HER HORSE

“My horse has more style and more class in its hoof than they do

Ann Romney: “My horse has more style and more class in its hoof than they do in their whole deal,”


Both sisters wear gold Eagle pins on their lapels, identifying them as Romney mega-donors, and a stack of VIP credentials around their necks. At the convention, they could be seen bickering outside exclusive donor powwows (“Don’t be upset,” Georgette pleaded with Lyn outside a brunch organized by billionaire Paul Singer. “It was an honest mistake.”) or giddily relaying how Ann Romney, for whom Georgette has served on the host committee for several fundraisers in New York, privately reacted to Democratic attacks on her dressage-competing mare. (“My horse has more style and more class in its hoof than they do in their whole deal,” Lyn recounts.)

....refers to the entire Democratic platform, as well as anyone who opposes her husbands desire to become president.

Sounds like she was referring to the democrats who are attacking what was said.

So your quote use is a bit misleading.

/also how is it a private reaction if published publicly?

Although I'm kind of surprised to see that a Romney mega-donor would blab that Ann said that.

Doesn't Ann sound like SUCH a NASTY person? I mean, duh, but it keeps surprising me because I just can't believe somebody that fortunate and privileged would even bother to be so resentful of any peon who dares to gaze upon her without 100% approval.
