Ann Romney: 'We Would Not Be in a Shutdown' if Mitt Had Been Elected President

Ann Romney: ‘We Would Not Be in a Shutdown’ if Mitt Had Been Elected President

Bitter much?

Politics • October 2013 • Views: 1,877

Ann Romney said the government would not have shut down if her husband Mitt had been elected president in 2012.

“We would not be in a shutdown,” Romney said during an interview on “Fox & Friends.”

Romney said her husband would have “stopped Obamacare,” keeping Congress from a government shutdown.

“Well, it’s frustrating. It’s frustrating for me that a lot of Americans never got to see Mitt for the real candidate that he was. There’s so much vilifying that goes on in a campaign,” Romney said “You know that’s going to come, but for me at the end of the day, if people had honestly known he was the most capable candidate, that he would have made a difference, he would have stopped Obamacare.”

I hear hot air escaping……I think it’s……….from an….empty…….DRESS.

oh please, Ann, YOU LOST THE ELECTION. Go Away. WE don’t want you.

No it wouldn’t.

But everything that the government does to help every day people would be dead in a ditch somewhere.

SNAP? Gone. Medicare? Gone. Social Security? Gone.

So what would be the difference between a shutdown and the U.S. under President Romney?

This is precisely why the tea party wrecking crew wants to have the shutdown last as long as possible. If they think it is polling well in their districts, it may never end.

I had almost forgotten what a totally dislikable person Ann Romney is. Thanks for reminding me, Fox.

Ann Romney shows why she’s an as nasty person as her husband is. No, Ann we wouldn’t and it’s not for the reason you seem to think.

You People just do not get it…you are so stupid not to make Mitt President forever! He is so dreamy!! The world would be perfect if Mitt ran it. We are rich and we know how to get people to do our bidding without a fuss from all the little people!

Yes, Mrs. Shit-for-brains, that’s a major reason your hubby isn’t in the WH right now.

Of course! The hostage takers wouldn’t be forced to carry out their threats if they had been negotiating with their mole inside the police department instead of that ni… Oops! Almost let our “non-racism” slip.

She doesn’t even know that. No reason to think the Senate would just let Mitt have his way.

Will she never stop whining about the election that she helped her vapid husband lose?

She should be celebrating the fact that the health care concept that Mitt helped bring to fruition has now gone national, like he claimed he wanted it to do.

Baloney. Mitt Romney wouldn’t have done away with those three programs. Cool down a bit, you’re letting your anger talk too much.

You don’t know that.

Under “President Romney” the Affordable Care Act would still be the law of the land. Repeal and defunding attempts started in the House wouldn’t make it through the Democrat-controlled Senate to the president’s desk. October 1st would still be the long-scheduled date for health exchanges to start, coinciding with the start of a new fiscal year. Increasingly desperate Tea Party Republicans would still agitate for their repeal amendment to be attached to the appropriations CR, and still be blocked by the Senate, and boom! Hypothetical government shutdown under Hypothetical President Mitt.

I wouldn’t trust Romney with those programs as far as I can piss and that’s not very far because I’m old.

She should be but she and her husband are the posterchildren for fuck you, I got mine. You never saw that with Laura Bush or even Cindy McCain but with Ann Romney, she just oozed snobbery.

Apparently, causal relationships are not Ann’s strong suit.

In any case, the Romney clan needs to get over themselves. The American people have spoken, and Mitt was deemed unworthy to serve as POTUS. GET OVER IT!

If 2012 had been a worst case, i.e. Romney as president and the GOP taking control of the Senate, there is no telling what a GOP congress full of teabaggers would have done. Any and all domestic programs would be subject to elimination, privatization, or some other form of gutting.

And in three years we face the same threat. Rest up.

Of course. I just don’t understand how someone can claim with a straight face that SNAP, Social Security and Medicare will not be eliminated by the GOP at the first available opportunity.

By the time they elected Reagan, welfare capitalists had become an endangered species in the GOP. If this bunch ever gets the three branches, they’ll turn social Darwinism into a plan of action.
