Ann Romney: Voters can trust Mitt

Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann, told a Des Moines audience Tuesday night that her husband is a man who can be trusted to lead the country.

“I trust him so completely,” Romney said to hundreds of supporters at the Temple for Performing Arts. “I know him so well. He always wants to do the right thing and the best thing for the country.”

Repeating the assertion that “Mitt does care” throughout her 10-minute talk, Romney recounted a story that served as a character reference for her husband.

In 1980, she said, Mitt Romney befriended a 14-year-old boy who had leukemia, and over the course of their friendship, Romney wrote the boy’s will, and then gave the eulogy at his funeral.

“That is the man that I know, that I know cares, that is so good, that has such integrity,” Romney said

[Rambis]

1. Really?

[barnabas63]

2. Ooohhh, ok!

That clears that up!

[VeganPK]

3. Didn't Maria tell us the same thing about Arnold? Not buying it this time either!

[sakabatou]

4. Integrity and Mitt Romney do not belong in the same sentence

[Yul A]

7. Bingo!

[JenniferJuniper]

5. Trusssst in me...

[dawg]

6. Losing the argument.

When you're still trying to convince voters that you actually .... care, then you are losing the discourse.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

23. +1 nt

[Whisp]

8. liar.

like anyone should trust you either.

twittish, artless full gorged urchin snouted clack dish!

[fleur-de-lisa]

9. Please, Queen Ann, just STFU . . .

[Maeve]

10. I wouldn't trust him to catch me at a team-building exercise

Much less to be a decent dog catcher...why should I trust HER word?????

[Fresh_Start]

11. Dear Ann, the only thing we distrust more than someone who says TRUST ME

is the wife of someone who said TRUST ME who states my husband would never do anything wrong.
Welcome to reality.

[Voice for Peace]

12. he wrote the boy's will?

huh?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

43. I think that that story came up during the RNC

I thought that it was a nice story and humanizes him to a degree- but that still doesn't mean that he's Presidential material.

[Voice for Peace]

46. I wouldn't trust Romney to write my will for me..

sorry if it was a nice story but it's a peculiar one.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

47. It sounded like he had a relationship with the family as a Bishop in the Church

It sounded like he was just trying to do something nice for a dying kid. Don't worry, I'm not going soft on Romney or trying to promote him or anything. I guess it's a good thing that they didn't put that video/story on right before Romney spoke at the RNC to try and publicize it more. Instead, we ended up getting the arguably more bizarre spectacle of an old man yelling at an imaginary person in a chair!

[beac]

52. The friggin' story is TWENTY+ YEARS OLD.

Apparently there is no more recent example of Mitt displaying an ounce of human feeling and they have been trotting this ONE tired old story out for months. Pathetic.

[JI7]

57. seems like Romney only helps if they are of the same Church

you know that story Paul Ryan told at the debate about paying for some kid's college. those people were from his church also.

[Voice for Peace]

63. if everybody had a rich church & the congregations were made of good and generous hearted people

it could work, if there were enough churches, one for every belief, just like the many gods.

[Voice for Peace]

62. wow.. gosh. nt

[SubgeniusHasSlack]

13. antoinette is far less credible even than her pathologically prevaricating hubby.

Google "lying for the lord" to understand why the rMoney's are so comfortable with "misspeaking".

[avaistheone1]

15. Ewwww. I can't stand or trust Ann either.

Yuck.

[maxsolomon]

16. Well, if you say so...

I was waiting for her recommendation.

[AndyA]

17. How do voters know they can trust you, Ann Rmoney?

The fact that Ann Rmoney is having to make this statement says more about Mitt than anything, IMO.

Why would voters have to be convinced that Mitt can be trusted? Could it be due to the Rmoney campaign ads that aren't factual? Ads that keep running even after they've been debunked as lies?

Perhaps it's the phony staged photo ops. Or the hypocrisy of condemning President Obama for being soft on China, when Mitt has made millions from Chinese investments over the years. Or could it be Mitt's fake concern of American jobs being outsourced when his own Bain Capital has been out souring jobs for decades, and continues to do so, even as Mitt himself promises more jobs here in America?

Might even be Mitt's missing and incomplete tax returns. What is he hiding, Ann?

Get back to us on this, OK? (Right--I won't hold my breath.)

[liberalmuse]

18. I'm beginning to be convinced...

that these people are evil.

[Voice for Peace]

19. sometimes it's hard to be a woman

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin things that you don't understand
But if you love him
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh, be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man

But if you love him,
you'll make excuses for him,
and cover up his mental state

[sofa king]

20. Still talking about trust a week out, eh?

I wonder why that is an issue? Oh yeah, because Mitt Romney has at least two contradictory positions on virtually every issue that Americans care about.

We can trust Mitt Romney to be dishonest, and that's about it. Worse for him, everyone knows it.

[HipChick]

21. The trouble with a proven liar...is how do I know this story is true..

[skeewee08]

22. OK Stepford Ann.....

[riderinthestorm]

24. Trust but verify. Show us the tax returns. Tell us about your tax plans. What @ FEMA?

Are you working to start WWIII with your friend Bibi Netanyahu?

However much YOU "know" him Ann, clearly the rest of us don't "know" or trust him at all!

And as for trusting you or your word on this?? No fucking way. I'm just one of "you people" who don't matter in the 47%....

[Bake]

42. Naah, far too late for that now.

Well, Mitt, you've managed to get through the whole campaign without releasing those pesky tax returns. Thank your friends in the media for that favor.

Of course, you're going to LOSE. But at least you kept those tax returns from going public. Are you wondering if that was maybe a bad decision now?

Bake

[Evasporque]

25. you can always trust a weasel to be a weasel...nt

[reflection]

26. He wouldn't even keep his money here to pay his fair share.

How exactly does he do what's best for the country again? To take advantage of the environment here which allows him to succeed and then not even pay the proper share back? And once again we're treated to a one-on-one story that highlights his benevolence toward an individual, but they are never capable of pointing to anything that would benefit society as a whole. All micro, no macro.

So yeah, Ann. I don't trust him, I never will. And I pray I am able to witness him being eviscerated in about 6 days by the members of that freakshow you call the Republican Party.

[Auntie Bush]

27. Seriously...How can anyone believe in the Etch-a-sketch man when no one knows what he believes.

Wish someone would ask her that on the campaign trail.

[PA Democrat]

28. Which Mitt?

[2pooped2pop]

29. I bet he left everything to Romney then?

If he wrote the will for the boy.

[ssaphyre]

30. Rmoney and 14 year old....

If he actually did stand by that ill young man, I will give him credit for that. BUT, that commercial the boy's parents made is on here (Wisconsin) at least once every half hour. I have seen it so much I want to scream. I can't wait until his ads are off the air in 6...5....4....3...2...1....days.

[Mike Daniels]

31. An example of one kind act 32 years ago vs. six recent months of flip-flops & outright lies

The past may be prologue but the recent past carries a hell of lot more weight when it comes to evaluating one's moral core.

[ananda]

32. Oh absofukkinkootlee!

I trust Roms to lead this country alright..

right into the gutter!

[AtomicKitten]

33. Hey princess, 'we people' don't trust liars like your hubbie.

[LynneSin]

34. Only thing I can trust Mitt to do is to fuck us over

[Johonny]

35. So he's the kind of guy that can't wait to give the eulogy at my funeral

wrote the 14 year old boy's will... Can I repeat how OUT OF TOUCH that sounds. Yes most American's when hearing little billy is dying of cancer worry he might not have his will finished!

[hifiguy]

36. In what respect, Annie?

To be a sniveling, pandering, lying, greedhead, empty-suit shitweasel? I DO trust Willard in that respect. I trust him completely.

[Ichingcarpenter]

37. Said the Scorpion to the Frog

as they crossed the river of STYX

[beac]

53. Now THAT is the perfect analogy!

[11 Bravo]

38. Oh, we do, Ann. We trust that every fucking word out of his fucking mouth is a fucking lie!

[argiel1234]

39. Ann Romney

Voters can trust Mitt to destroy the middle class and start World War 3.

I fixed it to reflect reality

[mojo2012]

40. Her story is getting old

It seems Mrs. Priss just rotates her Mitt stories. Quite frankly, they aren't believable and neither is she....

[ecstatic]

41. Well, that's not the man we know. nt

[jmowreader]

44. Four years later Mitt started Bain Capital

Okay, let me get this right. He won't trust us with...

Knowledge of his time at Bain
Or of his governorship...and considering he holds a record for overturned vetoes that will never be topped, I understand this one
Or his stewardship of the Salt Lake Olympics
His tax returns
Which foreign countries he hides his money in
Or an estimate of the number of jobs he sent to China...

Is it any wonder that current polls show in a hypothetical matchup between Romney-Ryan and the ticket of Bernie Welansky and the leader of the Salem Witch Trials, Romney still loses Mass 93 to 7?

[Tippy]

45. THIS IS A JOKE....RIGHT?

[Fire Walk With Me]

48. Don't worry about his mental stability; she'll do it for you! VOTE!

[kentuck]

49. Ann Romney cannot be trusted...

Her name is on most of the foreign accounts that are hidden overseas. She's a cover for Mitt's shady deals.

[L0oniX]

50. I hope she chokes on cake!

[Retrograde]

51. I trust him to line his pockets at my expense

and at the expense of every other American. I trust him to fill Federal appointments with good BYU grads. I trust him to roll back every progressive action of the past century. I trust him to do his gosh-darndest to erase the separation of Church and State. I trust him to become, should we be so unlucky to have him as president, to be a worse executive than Bush II and Harding combined.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

54. She's still trying to convince people that her husband isn't an evil, demented robot

Mitt was a Bishop, after all, and giving the eulogy at the funeral of an acquaintance isn't unusual unless there's still a doubt as to a person's humanity. At this point, Romney's surrogates should be talking about specific policy positions instead of continuing to try to convince everyone that Mitt is human.

[VOX]

55. Ann is what's known as a "biased witness"...

And therefore her testimony regarding her husband's character is null and void. ANY Republican who says, "Trust me" can't be trusted. Period.

[spanone]

56. sure, you can trust mitt to have several positions on global situations that require a firm hand

he'll NEVER be ready for prime time

[Stinky The Clown]

58. She is even phonier than Mitch.

[upi402]

59. Ted Bundy used to say that

Republicans have about the same care & concern for people. They know how to pretend, to put on a show that they think normal people expect to see.

If he did care, he'd be crushed with guilt over profiteering over the people whose lives he crushed - company kill after company kill.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

60. Turns a blind eye to his tax evasion

[markpkessinger]

61. But the question is: trust him to do what? n/t

[redStateBlueHeart]

64. And the sky is green and the grass is blue

Seriously, what the hell does this woman think we're smoking?
