That's funny!

I really don't care what she has to say.

to live in a binder.

I can't take much more of her.

She avoided Joy's question about her opinion as to whether or not reproductive rights are indeed an economic issue. She said Joy needs to sit on the couch with her husband and ask him, because she isn't addressing such things. Of course they invited him and he hasn't come on there yet.

Whoopi just asked about the men in her family not having served in the military.

at one point, there was dead silence, and I think she was expecting applause from the audience. Awkward.

for being such a positive advocate for her husband.

They're going to address Tagg's comment about wanting to take a swing at the president next.

(But you know that 'cause you're watching, too...lol)

So, what's his position on women's reproductive rights?

she isn't very good at answering the question.

... for Invisible Mitt!

and voila, you want a stuffed shirt or an empty suit? Here you go - I give you Mitt Romney, ladies and gentlement!

But I can't spell it out because it is a play on an offensive word.

he went to every funeral...blah, blah ... Mitt is not the only one in the family that can spin a yarn... and a yawn.

Mittens was out of the office for an extraordinarily long time on vacation. So, exactly when did he attend these funerals?

"spin a yarn" sorry for being so cryptic... she also is a liar. Period.

about the funerals:

I'll be extra sure to avoid it today.

Dating the Mittster ( ), not watching TV, loving Costco. Meh.

She's trying to get a reaction from the audience. Trying to be funny. Not a laugh.

even when Barbara complimented her there was no, zero, nothing... not a clap .... simple terms... she bombed.

Sorry for those not watching, but the things they share which they think humanize them are pretty mortifying to me...lol

... faking empathy.

FAIL!

She and her son (Josh) said that Mitt goes crazy with the intensity of the campaign, and when she is there (and I quote her here), he "dumps, dumps, dumps it all on me."

She leaned back, indicating the weight of it all that he dumps on her. Nothing said about partnership...it was "dumping." Josh's comments echoed this.

Yeah, just what we all wanted to hear--the guy who wants to be president "goes a little crazy" under stress.

That if she wasn't there for him to dump on, he'd go crazy.

Seriously, the more they talk, the worse they do.

That was one of THE most awkward things I've ever watched.

*creepy*

Wow. Incredible. This five-minute interview actually told me more about Rmoney than I expected. He's a bit nuts/unstable, and the family seems like they're really regretting this whole "run for president" thing. The comments from the Queen and the prince in the audience gave me that impression, at least.

And yeah, VERY creepy.

Seems to be a recurring theme.

If she's so concerned, shouldn't WE be too!

Tossing out topic after topic to make them human and relatable, and they're all falling flat.

Oh great, breast cancer awareness. Brilliant, original. Like we hadn't hear about that till now.

Aaaannnnd she's off.

or they're gone, especially Whoopi and Joy Behar, so what would be the point in watching that toned down crap?

She made Mitt look WORSE!

Mitt goes a little crazy? Can't handle stress? He dumps on her?

Wow!

...she is saying these things intentionally knowing how this might undermine his persona because she sees the disaster it's going to be for her. Never mind what a disaster a Robme presidency will be for "you people", this will go from being merely inconvenient to unbearable for her.

Can you imagine Little Miss Sugarbritches having to endure the kind of scrutiny and derision Michelle Obama has had to put up with? Pearls will be clutched!

Ann is so used to just being around other Mormons, this is a positive in their world.

They can't possibly regain any ground now, in this race. Barring a miracle for their team, or a disaster for ours. They've lost. They are now simply trying to cauterize the mortal wound so they won't bleed out all over the electorate and look like the mighty fools that they truly are.

If this comes out in a mega-landslide for Obama, even despite the vote stealing and the voter suppression, they are going to look really, really bad. And so are the other Republicans in Congress. They do NOT want that.

from what people here state. Just bizarre, almost like she subconsciously WANTS Mitt to lose, because he'd dump on her over four years, go crazy and with her MS, who knows what she's fearful of.

Yeah, I assumed that would be the case. They don't really get into good debates as they used to in years past. Pretty lame now, imho.

I watched because I was curious how Ann and her son came off as far as likeability and just to see if they interacted normally, even with softball questions.

I was surprised with Joy's question about reproductive rights = economic issues, and Whoopi's question which involved the men in her family having never served in the military.

I doubt Ann felt it was a softball interview.


Edit to correct it to Whoopi

It was just last month she said she was worried about his mental stability.

Is this not a story? She's telling us AGAIN he's not all there. She's confirming what most of us suspect.

If your wife thinks you're unstable, shouldn't we be concerned?

I can see other shows covering her "dump, dump, dump" moment.

I keep asking, is this not a story?

If Mitt's wife is worried about his mental stability, shouldn't we be????

Am I alone in thinking this should be headline news?

We're talking about putting another sociopath in office.

(It's son of Dubya!)

It is

Do we really want the Romneys as our First Family?

that should be the case Naps, just imagine the wife of your business partner saying that, I know I'll be gunning for the door for sure.

She says it and not a peep about her having concerns about her husbands mental state.

Is it just me?

We should contact O'Donnell or a democratic friendly journalist.

But hasn't brought up her saying Mitt dumps on her, that he might go crazy otherwise.

I hope Rachel, Ed and Tweety will address it tonight.

but it seemed it was a lot of blah, blah, blah.

told ya...

Practically verbally attacked the pres, at least he had the balls to come. Mitt is a wuss!

the audience is neither enthusiastic about nor impressed with Ann. No standing ovation and very little applause.

I think that was a net negative for Mr. Romney.

Edit to say that her "dump, dump, dump" moment -- which was echoed by her son -- should be the takeaway covered by the media.

Is this not a story?

Holy molly, that is a story.

She used those words!

DUMPS on her.

He might go "A LITTLE CRAZY!"

Hello, MSM, are your reporting this????

and how that happened in a two-parent home?

How hard what is? Being so filthy rich she doesn't even have to wipe her own ass?

She should walk a mile in the shoes of an average American woman before she whines from her throne on live teevee.

Willard needs therapy. He sounds too fragile to be president.

This IS and issue and SHOULD be an issue. It's the second time Ann has raised the issue of her husband's mental state.

We need more discussion by the MSM about his mental stability.

He needs hand-holding to get through the day.

Well said.

for those of us who can't watch!

went over like a lead balloon with the audience. Another awkward moment.

His absence spoke volumes.

(And her again raising her husband's mental state should raise WORRIES.)

Queenie! Unlike you some of us aren't willing to be crapped on!

... he gives DUMP speeches.

(We know he's so full of sh*t.)

bad pun!!

Im convinced that half the reason that Romney ran is because he has to fulfill that Mormon prophecy.

Having prominent Mormons speaking out against Mitt's lies? The new plan is fuck Obama even harder, so we will beg for Huntsman in 2016. This election has to give our Prez more leverage, he is amazing, but damn.

I'll call him Crazy Mitt from now on. LOL.

nt

Walks around complaining about all the "coulda, woulda, shouldas" he could have said? Slams furniture and whines for hours on end? Threatens people who should have prepped him or supported him better? Makes her the scapegoat - yelling and hitting at her as she is the nearest "safe" object for him to hurt?

Or is she so equally thin-skinned and contemptuous of him that any complaint he may be making or frustration in his voice is viewed as an inconvenience or attack on her?

There's a wide range of interpretation on "dumps on her".

Or is this all a ploy that she feels will get women to feel he's got a human side? If she's so brainwashed into believing that a "woman's job is as a helpmete to sooth the hardworking man's brow" and that real women think the same way she does, she may actually think she's helping her husband by showing that unlike the President, who's wife is an independent woman that has not dedicated her life to ensuring his life is stable, her husband can depend on her to keep him sane.

Or, perhaps she's pretty sure he's not going to win and just wants him to quit, and is sabotaging his campaign to get it all over with quicker.

because she didn't want to wake him up.

If this is true, sounds like she lives in fear of him

there were many but when Ann was discussing dating Mitt. She explained how he went to France for his missionary work while she stayed behind and dated other men. She mentioned she was dating and having fun, and Mitt ended up in the hospital in France because of that. Am I the only one who thinks that's weird?

Very very odd.

Somehow, magically, this is what caused Mitt's accident? Mormon stuff, I swear. Not the use of guilt, that is common in religion, but the magical thinking is profound in Mormonism. Unless she was saying that she told him over the phone so he was driving erratically, if so, well . . . never mind.

the clap (1968 term).

French men and women probably scared the shit out of him; he probably had too much good wine and free sex....got a vd, and could NOT tell Princess the truth.

Seriously, this family is freaking weird.

If that's true I have just crossed over into diagnostic land. And I don't do that lightly.

When a president goes off the rails, like Johnson, Nixon or Reagan, it usually toward the end of the term. If in some horrible alternate reality, Romney would start off in the tall grass.

To avoid being humiliated on national teevee by his own wife?

and not too smart... certainly not well briefed...epic fail and damning to her husband, IMHO.

they believe they're ultra-good people and non-mormos are subhuman to some degree. They are profoundly disconnected from mainstream culture and norms of "right" and "wrong".

I still can't believe Republicans let this travesty happen at all.

Get real, Anne.

If he can't handle the stress of a campaign, how will he be able to handle the stress of a presidency!

This goofy broad just told the whole country that Mitt is not mentally stable enough to handle the Presidency, and she's not even aware she did it. If he can't handle a presidential campaign, how is he going to handle the stress of the 2 wars he wants to start?

I'm TiVoing it but I'm sure parts will be grabbed from YouTube soon.

please post video if/when you get it

I haven't seen anyone mention the "dump, dump, dump" comment though.

Will keep looking...

Glad you're here! We need you, and you bring up some very good questions/worries. We HAVE TO make sure President Obama wins!







Now get to work.

I've been lurking for a long time.

Hola!

I said, that I believe that Ann Romney is being mentally abused by her husband. People scoffed at me. I was hoping she would admit it on national TV. I never actually believed she would admit it on national TV, but there you go. This is an admission that she is in fact being mentally abused. I wouldn't be too shocked to find out that he actually hit her as well, maybe not recently, but I bet he did.

How he treated a gay student. He he treated one of his professors. How he treated the moderators at the debate. And probably how he treats his own wife.

I posted this in another thread:

"There is something wrong with this family.

I'm not saying that they were beaten or that there was physical abuse, but this is not the loving family they pretend to be for the public. Violent thoughts toward the president is weird for the adult son of a candidate. I think Romney is a tyrant to his family and they all suffer from Stockholm Syndrome."

I think this family is emotionally and verbally abused by this man.

I lived things like this for five years in Idaho and finally left.

In some areas they are incomprehensible and I avoid them now.

EDIT TO ADD: They didn't even include Ann's reply. Sorry.

I'll leave this link in case they add to it.
