> [@LavenderBlue](#): > > I mean she could have helped fund research, treatment and maybe even prevention and a cure for the disease. But she’s a self-involved twit who lacks empathy so she won’t. Polio helped FDR gain his humanity despite his privileged background. MS does not appear to have done the same for Ann. Worse, her husband’s health care plan would have fucked over MS patients and anyone with a chronic medical condition. She’s a callous bitch. Ah, but the tears in her eyes when she left the stage at the concession speech were soooo _delicious_. ---

I haven’t said one negative thing on these forums about Romney (I’m pretty sure). I am still super glad that snobby Ann isn’t First Lady. ---

I’m still shaking me head at her comment about her sons serving a mission for her church. She feels serving a mission is the same as serving in the military. That said. Please don’t start firing on missionaries, they really aren’t armed. ---

While Ann Romney has done nothing during the campaign to endear her to me, I’m not really feeling the neeners here. As long as she goes back to her own little world and leaves us alone, I’m good. ---

I heard she is glad she doesn’t have to move into a smaller house now. ---

> [@levdrakon](#): > > How much of his/their own money did Romney spend? He spent a bunch of his own cash in 2008, but I don’t think he did so this time around. He was the presumed nominee from the beginning of the primaries, and so never had any trouble attracting doners. ---

During the last debate, the cameras were trained on her and Michele for about 15 minutes prior to the start of the main event. Michele looked relaxed and comfortable and spent a lot of time talking to her seatmates. The only way I can describe Ann Romney is that she looked like there was someone under her seat doing weird things to her butt and she was trying to look like it wasn’t happening. ---

> [@Simplicio](#): > > … never had any trouble attracting doners. Please do not throw delicious sandwiches at Mittens. It’s a waste of food and he thinks they are too spicy and foreign anyway. What’s the outrage over Mrs. R? She’s just another clueless, utterly useless woman who made a career out of marrying some dude. On a much grander scale than most, but not unlike people nearly all of us know. Ya’lls heads would explode if you came down to Dallas. ---

It’s probably best in the long run that Barack Obama is in charge, and I am not, because my plans for Day One following the elections results would have had Ann Romney paraded spread-eagled with various tax documents from the past twenty years protruding from various orifices while journalists followed her down the street with buckets of tar that they poured over her while chanting intrusive personal questions and demanding that she answer them faster than they were being asked. But, hey, that’s just me. Prolly a good thing I’ll never win election to anything bigger than the SD Hall of Classless Idiots. Be grateful you have just seen, over your vigorous objections, someone elected to the office of POTUS who has grace, class, intelligence, a sense of dignity and decorum, a respect for his adversaries and an imperviousness to insult that most vengeance-seeking humans lack. wow. So you fantasize about sexual violence against a woman because you think she’s a “snob.” go back to /b/ with the rest of the 14-year-old aspies. ---

No, I think she’s a lot of other things, too. Would you care to hear them? If you tell me where /b/ is, I may go there. I’m always open to travel. ---

I’m sort of sad we won’t have a first lady who actually looks like a biological woman. That’s no diss to the trans. Seriously, RuPaul looks better than Michelle. :eek: To be totally honest, I’m sort of annoyed if Romney had won, we wouldn’t have first ladies. What’s the point of being a Mormon if you don’t marry multiple wives? ---

Please don’t start firing on missionaries, they really aren’t armed. Shhh! That silly **Morgenstern** says all kinds of things . . . As a matter of fact, people all over the world, please be advised that all missionaries are indeed armed and extremely dangerous, and the only reason they want into your house is to eat your babies. Do not approach them or speak to them; if one approaches you, fire at will. Mormon missionaries are the fiercest and meanest of all – if you see one don’t even wait for a threatening move, just shoot on sight – you can usually tell – short-sleeve white shirt and tie, long dark pants, bicycle helmet.
