To paraphrase Ann Romney:
Fall in line disgruntled Republicans. Cut the nonsense and do as you’re told! Who cares that Mitt Romney is “the worst Republican in America to put up against President Obama,” like Rick Santorum said. Stop concerning yourselves with matters you simply cannot understand and just vote for Mitt!
You’re lucky he’s giving your sorry asses the time of day!
Now back to the story:
The wife of GOP hopeful Mitt Romney on Thursday told Republicans to stop complaining about her husband’s flailing presidential campaign because they were “lucky” to have him as a presidential candidate.
During an interview with radio Iowa, Ann Romney was asked how she would respond to influential conservative critics like Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan and Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol.
“Stop it!” she snapped. “You want to try it? Get in the ring.”
Ann Romney added: “This is hard and, you know, it’s an important thing that we’re doing right now and it’s an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt’s qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country.”
“It’s nonsense. And the chattering class, they — you know, it’s hard, of course. They don’t — I don’t let it sink in. You hear it and then you just let it go right by. And you’re used to it. Honestly at this point, I’m not surprised by anything.”
Noonan wrote on Thursday that Romney’s campaign had become a “rolling calamity,” and Kristol recently calledthe candidate “stupid and arrogant” for dismissing 47 percent of voters, who he said thought they were “victims” and did not “take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
