Just STFU. Don't cry about how hard it is to run for president. You've done this show before, and you knew exactly what to expect. No one should ever feel sorry for a person who openly decides to put themselves in the tough position to run for the highest office in the land. I don't hear Michelle or Barack Obama whining about how they've been ridiculed, trashed, threatened and shat on over the last five or so years.
Get some class and realize, even at the worst of the worst, you still have it better than 99% of this country. Remember, when this is all said and done, and your husband loses, and you're left crying that you could never become First Lady, you'll still have a big house, your goddamn horses and enough money to buy an African country.
Don't act like we should pity you because poor wittle Mitty Romney got his feelings hurt.
Fuck you.

(1,437 posts)Ann wants this a LOT more than Mitt does. I think he's doing it so she can be first lady.
Good luck with that.

(15,682 posts)Have you noticed how often she refers to "we"? "We are doing this to save the country." "We're running because mitt is blah blah blah."
She thinks she's running for office of the First Lady. And since mitt buys her whatever she wants (that he approves of) clearly she expected to have her First Lady title and the quaint little white cottage that goes with it.

Ms Romney sees a place that will put her above all of the other women who are merely holding the torch.
She wants to to shove it up our ass.

Hell yes, it is hard work. I only ran for state assembly in my little district. That was a lot of work and I had no campaign 'team'. I cannot imagine multiplying that experience to a national level.

(5,842 posts)Is there any doubt that Palin was offered a job by FOX News solely so she could spend 4 years acting all aggrieved about losing out on her opportunity to be VP? Well, listening to Ann is like hearing a playback of Palin's perpetual petulance as the 2008 election started to slowly slip out of McCain's grasp.
Don't worry Ann. There will still be an audience for your whining come 12:01 a.m. on November 7th. Just let Roger know which address he should use to mail you the the contract.
