NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—The Borowitz Report has obtained the following confidential letter from Ann Romney to members of the Republican Party:
Dear Fellow-Republican,
I’m not a happy camper.
Over the past few days, some so-called Republicans have taken it upon themselves to lob some pretty harsh words in the direction of my husband. Now, it’s one thing when Mitt gets criticized by the forty-seven per cent of Americans who are parasites sucking at capitalism’s teat. But when former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan calls his campaign “a rolling calamity,” it’s time for Ann Romney to kick some ass.
Which brings me to you. This is not a fundraising appeal. Lord knows this campaign has all the money it needs, especially since Mitt went to Vegas and promised Sheldon Adelson he’d bomb Tehran on Day One. As Mitt’s wife, I’m asking you to pledge something far more valuable:
Your silence.
By signing the pledge form below, you become an official member of Ann Romney’s Circle of Silence, an élite tier of the Romney for President Campaign. As a member of the C.O.S., you will receive priority ticketing to the Inauguration, as well as a collectible “Loose Lips Sink Mitt” ball gag. All you have to do is shut the freak up until Election Day.
That’s right, for the next forty-six days, I’m asking you to bite your tongue every time Mitt says or does something idiotic. If you think that sounds difficult, welcome to my world.
And Peggy Noonan, if you’re reading this: you want a piece of Ann Romney? Then get in the ring, girlfriend, and I’ll mess you up good.
Vote for Mitt,
Ann

Ryan and Romney CAN'T be trusted! Just check all of the lies they told at the Republican Convention.

Now they want to needlessly strip seniors and almost-seniors of their Medicare benefits that they have worked long and hard for, for decades. NO WAY!

Ryan and Romney just want to help their millionaire healthcare company friends to rake in HUGE PROFITS, while American consumers suffer with higher health costs. NO WAY!

GO HOME, ANN!

What do you think of Romney's Aquafresh logo?
Looks like a stylized American flag to me.
Doesn't bother me one bit.
It must be driving some of you crazy.
There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with President Obama,
but hating the leader of our country seems unamerican to me.

All of the cute anecdotal home town boy stories aside, Romney/Ryan are despicable politicians.

Wissy...I wasn't cutting on George Romney at all. It is just too bad his son didn't follow his example.

If we've learned anything about the left during the Walker recall is that they live in their own made up universe. Maybe it's rejection by the majority that has them so delusional.
You go girl! The classiest first lady since Laura Bush.

I doubt Ann Romney has MS. Unless that stands for Materialistic Syndrome.

"Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it?"

I'd tell her if you can't stand the heat to get out of the kitchen, but I doubt she knows where the kitchen is.

Wislady, it looks like you are the only one with a problem.
You need to think about that one.

In America, we should be proud of people who work hard and are successful. Why don't you do a little research of Mitt Romney's father?

Ann Romney: 'Mitt Romney Was Not Handed Success. He Built It.'
.
Yeah....it's SO common to have a dad that is head of a auto company....

Ann Romney tells critics to "stop it".
.
It just shows how much they expect to be served with a silver spoon.

It's is no wonder that the AARP crowd booed the repubs because they make up a good portion of the 47% that Romney insulted in his "hidden" video. Romney is just "out of touch" for the 99%. He should just go home and play with his car elevator.

The fact that Ryan has the fortitude to address a group of liberals (AARP) in person, shows he is willing to take on the discussion. Unlike Obama, (who addressed them via video) and doesn't want to take questions.

woody
I think we should be more concerned with the anti American/Obama protests going on.

I was responding to someone else who brought up the subject.
Interesting that you would mention botox, perhaps you were not aware that is sometimes used to treat the tremors of MS patients.

Shame on you.

Audience at AARP convention boos Ryan for Lying.

wis, thanks for reminding us that physical beauty is what's really important here. (BTW I think she's pretty average and is obviously a botox user)

carlitosway: You lose credibility when you start attacking the appearance of the wife of the candidate. Very bitter. I take exception to your remark about her. Have a bit more dignity. Stick to the issues instead of making personal attacks about a person's appearance. Eagle1: I agree with your statement concerning both parties being at fault and neither Mr. Romney or Mr. Obama being who we need for a president at this critical time in our country. I just wish I knew how we can ever get back to the middle when moderates in either party can not get past their own primaries.

To have a sitting president hawking flags on a campaign website, making a mockery of the American Flag.....is beyond reprehensible.

garyprimer

If defacing the American Flag doesn't offend you, something is seriously wrong.

"Ann is ready to redecorate"
.
I bet she is!!!!
.
When the Romney's have a car elevator in their house, just think what the bill to the taxpayers would be in the capital.

Is there anything Romney hasn't flip flopped on???

I am deeply offended by you.

Every American should be deeply offended by this....

Yes it hurt when Mitt says he doesn't care about 47 percent of us, at least that is not a lie. I sure will be glad when this whole election thing is over. Regardless of who is elected, things do have to get better.Hope it is in our lifetime !

I respectfully disagree.

There is no damage control needed, Romney is telling the American people the truth....and sometimes it hurts.

Damage control???? How about Obama and his lies about what is really happening in the world. He is not truthful to the people he is supposed to be serving. How can the media continue to give him passes every time he lies. The media elected him the first time, shame on them if they succeed again.

Wislady...I agree with your comment about sending all this money to foreign countries while our own people are in need of help. However, I believe Ann is firing with blanks " fires up Milwaukee crowd " .She needs to be walking behind her husband with a giant bandage doing damage control.

yada, btw Mr. Obama attended a party at rapper Jayzee's club in NYC recently where $900 bottles of chapaign were used in a pyramid just for a visual, so completely wasted. Where is your outraged rhetoric on this? Are there people struggling that can't afford to live in such lavish ways and therefore the president shouldn't be living in such high fashion? I personally don't care what he does as far this stuff goes I hope he blows a ton of money and continues to get 40,000 a plate at fundraisers, it is just hypocritical when he preaches how rich fatcats are advantaged, then joins them for his own benefit. I am not sure if that is worse or the fact his minions go out and post things and completely dismiss his behavior when he obviously doesn't mean what he says, or is it a matter of do as I say not as I do?

carlitosway although some of your rhetoric is a little over top, I agree Romney would be a terrible president, just as Obama has been, so I need to turn your question back to you and ask how can anyone support Romney or Obama, and expand your statement that all the GOP should be voted out to include Democrats as well. They both had a hand and creating a disaster through increasing government and going for power grabs and spending sprees. Once you and the other 80% that blindly follow a party regardless of their results, stop and think without voting with your heart, then we will finally start to see some light out of this, until then you and your GOP counterparts are contributing to the failure and not helping us get to success.

Motorman......Huh?

Someone likes to use only part of a quote (similar to editing of tapes), so that the meaning is deliberately taken out of context.

Romney: "Our message of low taxes doesn’t connect…so my job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

Steve Jobs was a perfect example of a leader.

“My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.”

― Steve Jobs

The "vet bill" was not paid for, and duplicated other programs which are not well managed. Dems wanted to charge extra fees to medicare providers to pay for it. AGAIN....another program with NO means to pay for it.

Maybe the disgusting new "Obama flag" sales could fund the program?

It is time to stop all funding to countries that hate us and kill Americans....then we can use that money to help our veterans.

OweBama needs to go.

Keep watching the Etch-a-sketch and continue to stay uninformed. The Right wing supporter are either deaf and blind or plain ignorant to the truth of how Romney and ryan really think about the people of this country and I do not know to many billionaires posting on here so most likely you are part of the worthless 47% he keeps disrespecting and has nothing but HATE FOR and does not care about,in his own words " Romney went on: "[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. And the GOP sure showed that on their vote Wednsday against the AMERICAN VETS... onelifetolive I sure hope you do not get paid to think.The exposure of Walker and the phone call from who he thought was David Koch. the video with Hendricks and the LYAN RYAN ones that were steady for about a month LIE after LIE and then lame attempts to justify the lies, The romney tape at 50 thousand a plate fundraiser and it is much deeper then the 47% statement GET A CLUE How can any of the GOP supporters still deny the corruption and dishonesty and hateful bigotry??? IMO and many others you sure the he** are not American as The American people I have known do not ACCEPT THIS TYPE OF LEADERSHIP... get out your etch-a-sketch and Sit back and sip your KOOLAID .... OBAMA2012

Ann Romney is a beautiful woman. She has a natural beauty (no hooked fake eyebrows or angry scowl).

She will make a wonderful First Lady, and restore the WH back to dignity.

How anyone can think Romney should win is beyond me. He is the most hateful liar and is so disgusting as to his comments on the American people. The entire GOP should voted out as to their blocking the Veterans Job bill. I guess Those that still support the GOP have no respect for AMERICA and IMO to stand with any of the Republicans is as un-American as it gets. Ann needs to get to her beautician as her pics of late show a disgruntled person. and she is looking a little rough.

Yada.....Prior to throwing back the two bottles of wine, earlier in the night, Ryan planned on staying in to watch a movie and catch up on what was going on in his hometown by checking in here. After once again being exposed to the complete idiocy which seems to overwhelm every one of your posts, he simply had to go on an expensive bender to ease the pain of the thought of trying to figure out how to properly represent a complete and total fool such as yourself..........so, as you can plainly see, Ryan does care! Please apologize for your posts which were critical of his motives........thx:)

And do you really, I mean really think Paul Ryan cares about the middle class! Old news - But news that we will not forget.

"Paul Ryan, A leading advocate of shrinking entitlement spending and the architect of the plan to PRIVATIZE MEDICARE spent Tuesday evening sipping $350.00 WINE WITH TWO LIKE MINDED conservativr economists at the swanky Capitol Hill eatery..."

Did she ask anyone in the Mitt 47% - "DEPENDENT UPON THE GOVERNMENT" to step forward or leave? It's amazing how Willard Mitt Romney can speak out of both sides of his mouth. Instead of President he should consider a job as a ventriloquist - - just not sure what part of the act Mitt's role would be.
