If she really has MS, etc., she is likely drugged up.

I'd like to know HOW THE HELL she can walk in high heels!?

Tagg said there was one rule that was simply not breakable: “We were not allowed to say anything negative about my mother, talk back to her, do anything that would not be respectful of her.” On Mother’s Day, their home would be fragrant with lilacs, Ann’s favorite flowers. Tagg didn’t get it back then, but he came to understand. From the beginning, Mitt had put Ann on a pedestal and kept her there.

co-narcissists. I sadly have experience with that combination in parents and I see the dynamic play out in the Romney family.

Why I am moving to Canada if Mitt Romney becomes President (and you should too).

Mitt and Ann Romney boast that they donate 10% of their income to charity. That "charity" is the Mormon Church, and it turns out that describing the Mormon Church as a "charity" is a stretch of the imagination. "Corporation" would be a better description. The Mormon Church donates only about 0.7 percent of its annual income to charity. You read that correctly: less than 1%. Doesn't seem very charitable of them, does it? For comparison, the United Methodist Church gives about 29 percent to charity.

The Mormon Church doesn't even pretend that the 10%-of-income donations (tithes) will go to charitable causes. It is often reported that the Mormon Church takes care of it's own members, and it's true that the Church sometimes gives money or food to it's poorest members. But that money comes from a separate fund (called "Fast Offerings&quot , that all members are expected to contribute to ON TOP OF the 10% tithe donation. Similarly, charitable donations from the Church to victims of natural disasters come from yet another fund, the Humanitarian Aid Fund, which is separate from, and in addition to, the 10% tithing donation. As you can imagine, most Church members have a hard enough time paying 10% of their income, so the donations to Fast Offerings and Humanitarian Aid funds are much smaller than their tithing donations. Which means that the vast majority of the money donated to the Mormon Church, while tax deductible, is not designated to go to any charitable cause.

If the Mormon Church is not spending it's money ($8 billion per year in tithes) on charity, what is it spending it on? Answer: Real estate and various large, for-profit businesses. The Church is spending $3 billion on a mall in downtown Salt Lake City. That means they spend 32 times more money, per year, on the mall construction project than they do on charity. And the mall is just one tiny piece of the Mormon Church's vast capitalist enterprise, which includes:

The Polynesian Cultural Center (i.e. Hawaiian theme park) that is the #1 most lucrative paid-admission tourist attraction in Hawaii. It brings in $60 million a year, yet pays no taxes because it is related to church activities.
$2 million in Burger King stock. (Note that Mormons would have to pay capital gains tax if they cashed in their stock holdings before donating 10% to the Church. So many donate the stock directly to the Church, which pays no capital gains tax when it sells the stock.)
$1 million in Domino's Pizza stock.
A 300,000 acre cattle ranch in Florida that is the largest cow-calf ranch in the United States, according to National Cattlemen's Beef Association statistics.
Control of "at least 100 companies or businesses." (a conservative estimate from a 1991 investigation)
Real estate holdings in all 50 states and around the world, making the Mormon Church the nation's largest landowner.

Scary shite alright!!!

Is it safe to turn on the TeeVee yet?

I WISH it was over.

What about the fold up ironing board?????

no animation at all..

I had to switch over to MSNBC, because David Gregory was gushing.

They let the ol ball n chain speak first. Now she can go back to the kitchen--oh wait, she spent all afternoon baking cookies! What a wholesome and totally normal role model!

when you wake up, you will always vote Republican...zzzz

She and Willard both born into wealth ... and they have lived lives untouched by the realities of working America.

That's why she had to repeat about four times that she met Willard at a dance ... because that is about it.

And, oh yeah ... terrible delivery with all of her nervous laughter.

She's a snob. There is not much more you can say about Lady Rmoney.

Even better clip.

it might have been inspiring

if one didn't know that it was a bunch of crap.

I mean she started out talking about people who were struggling and people who were worrying and hurting, and said something like
"nobody will work harder than Mitt Romney to make this a better country for everybody".

Which is very nice rhetoric.

Only trouble is, it is totally false.

Because what is Mitt Romney's big plan to help all the struggling masses?

It's the same old plan that Republicans have offered ever since Reagan made so much hay with it - trickle down. Mitt Romney, just like Reagan, and Bush Sr. and Bob Dole and JR Bush and John McCain is once again going to take us to the promised land with (drumroll) (flourish of trumpets) TAX CUTS (mostly for the rich). That, they promise, will create the prosperity that Obama has failed to deliver.

See, for Ann Romney, and for Mitt, it is all about love - the love of rich people for their money.

Neither she or mitt know how to be real outside the bubble of the Mormon church.

Giggles.

And per Twitter search, lots of other people felt the same way.

Escape from, avoidance of reality.
