did you feel pity for weepy eyed Ann Romney today?

[Liberal_in_LA]

Her eyes were red and weepy. Her voice had a teary "we we are losing, let's get this over" tone.

No pity from me - Her husband's election would GUARANTEE a turn back of the clock for women's rights. it would GUARANTEE a continued efford to prevent black and brown folks from voting. it would GUARANTEE that the system would continue to be gamed for the benefit of rich guys like Rommney.

[BootinUp]

1. I'm fresh out. lol.

[rightsideout]

2. Not really

Not when we're considered "those people."

[niyad]

3. she gave me a headache today--no, I do not, and never will, feel sorry for that entitled, clueless

twit

[GP6971]

4. Nah

Never happen

[MADem]

5. I felt sorry for Rafalca--he's had a break, but that'll be over soon.

Good thing she's got lotsa horsies--at least he won't end up strapped to the roof of the Caddy!

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. .

[Thekaspervote]

7. As much pity as I had for sister Sarah on mccains concession stage

[GETTINGTIRED]

8. No

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Nope. Can't feel it.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

10. I'm more of a scorched earth guy. Is my boot firmly planted on the wanna be queens throat?

Off with their fucking heads!

[Chan790]

46. Me too.

I don't just want to win. I want to obliterate conservatism and end the GOP.

[smirkymonkey]

52. +10,000

[rbrnmw]

11. no not when she and her husband have no pity for

Sandy victims I can't wait til I never have to look at that arrogant person again I can't stand her

[Horse with no Name]

12. Nope

Don't care about her. Not one bit.

[skeewee08]

13. Nope " it's time for the grown up" " those people"

She gets no love for me.

[Historic NY]

14. Send in the whambulance.

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. lol

[txdemsftw]

15. Nope..

Can't wait to see the last of her during Mitt's concession speech on Tuesday night.

[julian09]

23. Is she going to concede too?

[txdemsftw]

34. That's the plan..

[GoCubsGo]

16. I have as much sympathy for her as she does for the poor and unemployed.

[Democrats4All]

17. awww :(

She's just missing her Cadillacs

[Indpndnt]

19. Not a chance. If I never see her again after Tuesday, it'll still be too soon.

[url=http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php][img][/img][/url], Annie!

[Tanuki]

20. No, she has said she cries when they fill out their tax returns, so I find myself unmoved

by her tears.

[jmowreader]

59. Imagine the tears that would flow..

if they paid more in taxes than they do in church dues.

[avebury]

21. Nope! nt

[longship]

22. Nope. It's her turn to cry. nt

[FieryLocks]

24. Just For You Ann...

A symphony of the world's smallest violins playing for you!

[Initech]

29. Reservoir Dogs FTW!!!!

[onecent]

61. Ohhhh I love this..lol...we used to do this with our fingers when

I was younger...but this would be great to own...lol

[Marie Marie]

25. I do feel sorry for them. I mean, what are they to do after this election?

Go back to one of their 4 mansions and live out their lives with more money in one day than most of us will see in 10 years. Poor things.

[RagAss]

26. I didn't watch her. I'd rather watch my dog take a shit.

[arthritisR_US]

27. Nope, none at all. n/t

[Initech]

28. I think Ann wants to be first lady more than Mitt wants to be president.

[Contrary1]

31. Oh, please..a link to a video.

so that I might muster up some faux sympathy.

Seriously, this thread is useless without a video.

[Liberal_in_LA]

33. sorry. it was today, when she introduced him at rally. Can't find link yet.

[calimary]

44. I'd like to see a link if anybody has it. I missed it today.

Hope someone posts it. Where were they? Was this in Colorado? I heard that's where they had some campaign stop today. Dunno. Haven't been plugged in anywhere but here on DU while doing other things.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

32. What does the Count say??????? (Warning: OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE TO SOME)

[txdemsftw]

35. omg..

[Manifestor_of_Light]

40. Thanks, fellow much-maligned Texan.

[RomneyLies]

36. I felt joy and glee nt

[IL Lib]

37. No.

They deserve to lose. They have run the most dishonest campaign I've ever seen. Also, the "it's our turn" comment, like they're entitled was an idiotic and arrogant statement to make. Fuck her and her psychotic husband.

[Aristus]

38. I'm fresh out of fucks to give...

She can go home to one of her five mansions, throw herself down on the car elevator, and cry her eyes out...

[Pisces]

81. Ha!!

[L0oniX]

39. FUCK NO!

[DeschutesRiver]

41. Saw it. Thought, wow, their internal polls must be devastating

It was like a farewell, let's get this over with so we can crawl back to our old lives, moment.

Don't know how the election will go, though I believe it will be quite a bit more in Obama's favor than even the most optimistic polls are showing.

But I do know that the Romneys firmly believe they have lost the election already. Couldn't believe Anne was that shattered to let such a thing show this close to the day - of course, unless she was convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt of their inability to win.

[Incitatus]

42. Romney will lose

But I'm sure their half billion in wealth will help console them.

[Lugnut]

43. Not on your life.

I can't wait for this nasty woman to go away.

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

45. who comforts poor ann,all the money in world,its tuff

these people will never be happy,no matter how much money they have.koch brother have 40 billion dollars no one will mourn their deaths,in fact some will be happy.obama will be remembered as great President. ann is playing the pity card,she knows how to play it very well,that is why robme depends on ann to stabilize his mood.

[Major Hogwash]

47. I saw that video. It almost made me laugh outloud. She knows they are going to lose.

And it couldn't happen to a better guy, Mitt, her lying asshole of a husband.
She knows that her day in the sun came and went and she has nothing to show for it.
Oh, she will be asked to go to social parties in the DC area for a long time, to reminisce about what being the wife of the GOP Presidential candidate was like.
She'll dress up and act like she is going to the biggest dance of the year.
But, it won't be as the First Lady.
And that will eat at her for the rest of her life.

[aletier_v]

48. I do feel sorry for them

It seems they had a deep belief in something,
a certain future,
which abandoned them.

They invested time & effort into something
which did not return the favor.

That is a tragedy,
no matter who you are.

[magical thyme]

67. you're joking, right?

Hitler invested time and effort into something which "did not return the favor." Are you calling his suicide a tragedy?

Seriously, if you invest time and effort into something positive, and get a kick in the teeth in return, that may be a tragedy (and/or a learning experience).

If you invest time and effort into stealing from and destroying other's lives for your personal benefit, then when you get a kick in the teeth in return that is not a tragedy. It's payback.

Shit on a boomerang!

[aletier_v]

74. the issue is not them or their goals

you should ration your hate and use it wisely

[magical thyme]

86. to me, the issue is that Ann is an animal abuser and an enabler...

an enabler of everything at the core of what is wrong in this country and the world. I don't hate the haughtiness or contempt for "you people." That is sad and even laughable.

But she is an animal abuser and enabler. And her husband is an animal and people abuser. He has destroyed many, many people's lives in his determination to make as much money as possible, and would destroy our country in his quest to own it.

The love of money is the root of all evil. There is a reason that quote from the Bible is so very well known. They have embraced evil as a lifestyle. That is what I hate, that and the suffering they have inflicted on so many lives.

[marions ghost]

88. Please--the tragedy would be if they were elected

and got to further enhance their wealth and power at our expense.

You can't have pity for people who want to destroy everything you care about. That is dangerous, not smart.

All I can say to them is to "go and sin no more."

Pity (a form of caring) is wasted on those who have NO compassion or concern for anyone but themselves.

[Tribetime]

49. did she shed tears when mitts employees jobs were sent to china

and the kids affected by it...or the chldren who's slave labor they profitted off of

[flamingdem]

50. NEIN

Hmm remember Herman Caine..

[Raine]

51. Nope, I enjoyed it and hope to see more come Tuesday night and Wednesday. nt

[Cha]

53. For all those reasons and for Ann herself and the way she treated

We The People like we were the help. And, her husband's a dangerous asshole.

[hfojvt]

54. "the quality of mercy is not strained"

"it droppeth like gentle rain from heaven on the place beneath.
It is twice blessed
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes ..."


I feel so bad for her, I think her husband should withdraw now, to spare her from any more suffering.

[Hekate]

55. Politics is a rough game, not an effing entitlement for the uber-wealthy

I have my moments of compassion, definitely -- like for the wives and kids ritually dragged out to stand by daddy when he's either been trounced or has been caught being a complete jerk, like the Vitters. I always wonder why wifey puts up with that crap, but the kids didn't ask to be humiliated like that.

But the Romneys came waltzing in to this presidential election as though it was an entitlement of his (and by extension, hers), just the next thing to put on his resume in an already charmed life. I wouldn't be that man's wife for anything in the world, but she's made her peace with it, like the Mrs.s Nixon, Bush, and so on. That kind of political wife either loves her husband in spite of everything, or she loves the privileges of power. Whatever.

Romney is hollow. We've seen him in this campaign and we know his record as a businessman. He has no respect for either the electorate or the institutions of government, and every time his lips are moving, he's lying. No one can figure out why he even wants the office, but it can't be good.

He's been only too willing to trash anyone else who gets in his way -- he and his surrogates play dirty -- he seems to think this office should be his for the taking.

Well it isn't. You fight dirty, you're going to get hurt too. God willing you will lose, and lose badly. Electoral politics is not supposed to be settled in quiet rooms, you plutocratic jerk.

So no. I'm not in the mood to feel for Mrs. Romney's pain just now. She should just take her hubby and go the hell home.

Hekate

[jsr]

56. Meh, cry me a fucking river

[NYC Liberal]

57. I'm looking forward to weepy eyed Mitt on election night.

[Zoeisright]

58. Hell no. That is one cold trout.

I'm sure the tears are manufactured. If they're real, it's just self-pity. She can go suck ass.

[WinkyDink]

60. Not if she were struck with the tribulations of Job.

[Paladin]

62. No Pity. But I Am Sort Of Grateful To Her.

Who has ever taken the public stage and better represented the heartless, out-of-touch, entitled snottiness of the upper class than Ann Romney? When Mitt goes down in flames, Ann will have done her part......

[hobbit709]

63. I don't ever feel any pity for that overprivileged twit.

[magical thyme]

64. I only wish I'd gotten to see the animal abuser crying

She is an animal abuser.

Not because she rides dressage, which when done properly is the most humane and gentle system of training.

But because when one of her horses, Super Hit, was crippled due to a congenital hoof defect, instead of doing the humane thing and retiring him to a "career" that wouldn't cause harm, she drugged him with surgery-level analgesics, forced him to continue performing at a level that was clearly harming him, cheated in competition with drugs that are so unavailable that they don't even test for them, until he couldn't "win" (if you call cheating winning ) for her any more, and then attempted to defraud a buyer to the tune of $125K by drugging him in the pre-purchase exam.

Ok, her trainer did the actual drugging, but as a lifelong horsewoman and dressage rider, I can tell you she had to know what was going on. And if she's a worse rider than she imagines so didn't feel it, then when she found out via the lawsuit, she should have fired the trainer instead of helping him represent the US at the Olympics. EOS.

Edited to add: Oh, and this was a horse she claimed to be "fond of." Can you imagine how she'd treat "you people" she's not "fond of?"

[Fla Dem]

65. No, sorry. No sympathy here for cardboard caricatures of human beings. n/t

[B Calm]

66. I have no sorrow for Queen Ann. She

will go back to one of her many mansions where the hired help will wait on her for anything she demands.

[appacom]

68. No pity, just a heaping of scorn. . .

Can't stand this plastic woman and all she represents. I think Mitt is mentally ill and she knows but doesn't care that his election would put us in grave danger.

[Quantess]

69. Can someone please post a photo of weepy eyed Ann Romney?

I have not seen her look weepy. I want to know what people are referring to.

[Liberal_in_LA]

93. sorry. no pic.

[Sunlei]

70. Mitt should let her rest at home, she has MS fatigue.

Even if she says she wants to be at his side, it's very wrong of Mitt to drag her around with him.

[lonestarnot]

71. She got me right in the gag reflex.

[tavernier]

72. Many years ago when we were looking for our first boat

we fell in love with a wooden boat. We loved this boat so much that acquiring it became an obsession for a few weeks. The bank did not agree and didn't loan us the money for this used wooden boat. I cried like a baby.

We had no experience with boats period, especially wooden boats in tropical waters that breed bore worms. That boat would have sunk, and sunk us.

Don't cry, Ann. Be happy that the Captain of this ship is experienced and won't let us sink.

[Aerows]

73. I look forward to

never having to listen to her haughty, nasally whiny voice after November 6th. I don't know which of them I dislike more - her or her husband. It's a total toss-up for me. They are so plastic and fake, they make Barbie and Ken look the neighbors next door.

[treestar]

75. No but I'm of the school that thinks very possibly

that the family doesn't want him to win. Most of the stories of Mitt's weirdness come directly from them. So she may be getting weepy in a relieved-it's-almost-over sort of way. Remember all her indications of how she has to hold him up. She has MS, too. She may have been overwhelmed at the idea of having to hold him up through a Presidency of the US.

[WinkyDink]

87. "It's OUR turn."

[treestar]

90. That was a while back though

Before it started getting hard.

[WinkyDink]

92. Heh.

[Bucky]

76. Perhaps all that auto industry bail-out money in her bank accounts will console her.

Perhaps she could go shopping and create a few more jobs... in Vietnam.

[TwilightGardener]

77. Good God, no. She needs to take her sorry ass back to

wherever it came from and leave "us people" alone.

[HipChick]

78. Has she ever had to worry about paying a bill, putting food on the table?

Queen Ann can go fuck herself

[Liberal_in_LA]

80. yes, she has had to worry about money...then she sold some stock

Remember that story about their school days.

[hatrack]

79. Her tears of rage are ready for ice, egg white and Angostura bitters

Bottoms up!

[redStateBlueHeart]

82. "Stop it! This is hard!"

Yeah, I'm totes crying anime sprinkler-tears for them right now....

[rbrnmw]

83. I have a song for Queen Ann

&feature=related

[Uncle Joe]

84. If you ever start feeling pity, google Alito's wife and watch her cry during his

confirmation hearings, then research the damage that ass-wipe has done to the nation after joining the Supreme Court.

Thanks for the thread, Liberal_in_LA.

[forestpath]

85. I save my pity for those who themselves have the capacity to feel pity for others.

[AsahinaKimi]

89. I think on election night...

It would be great to (accidentally on purpose) Lock Ann Romney and Sarah Palin in the same room with a TV tuned to only MSNBC. I am not sure who would be left, the next morning.

[PATXgirl]

91. No. I looked straight at her and wagged my finger, chastising...

"Now, stop it! Life is hard! If you can't roll with the punches, get out of the ring!"

[hamsterjill]

94. None.

I have no pity for Annie. She asked for this. She got it. No one forced Mittster to run.

[Javaman]

95. Much like her hubby, I wish nothing but rotten vegetables to be thrown at her. nt
