Ann Romney: We've Given 'All You People Need To Know' About Family Finances (Ann Romney speaking to Robin Roberts on ABC)

I am always amazed when politicians/their handlers/and their spouses refer to the American citizen as you people. I am always in wonderment and awe as those elected as representatives or wanna be elected officials decide that you people are really not important enough to deal with or shed even an ounce of honesty. I am dumfounded and and disgusted that the man and his wife who want to be president and first lady of this nation of ours still feel the need to use terms like you people. 

I am even more astonished that with the arrogance and entitlement demonstrated by Ann and Mitt Romney, there is still a large portion of Americans who support Mitt to be our next president. How do we believe in a person to lead this nation who seems to live by different standards then most of you people do.   I am one of you people and all I ask is that the man who wants to be my president be open, honest, and approachable. I am one of you people and Ann dear, you are pompous, pandering and plastic and there is no need for people like you and your husband in a nation built on we the people.

John Sununu:The president should "learn how to be an American," (John H. Sununu, surrogate for Romney campaign)

Once again the Republican/Tea Party is writing their own dictionary and defining the terms for being an American. The same party who has decided that regulations for anything from health care, pollution to consumer protection is unnecessary and needless is shouting loud and proud who is and who is not an American. And as usual their definition of being an American is never about including rather excluding. 

I am even more astonished that the Republican/Tea Party which diminishes the freedoms and rights of the LGBT community, denies the free access for women’s reproductive health care, demands papers please for people of color has the audacity to define who is an American, and there are Americans who agree. Mr. Sununu you suggest that the president learn how to be an American yet support a man who would rather ship jobs off shore, send his income to tax shelters overseas. I am an American and looking at the facts, you know the words and deeds on audio and video from Mr. Romney all I see is a selfish man who has no idea what America is all about or being an American.

Day after day, we are preached at by surrogates, spouses and the SOB’s from the Republican/Tea Party that America the beautiful has turned sour dim and ugly. We are provided examples from such intellectuals as Palin, Limbaugh, Hannity, and Boehner that the social net is a socialism, regulations a communist plot and fair and equal are on  a pay for play basis. We hear hypocritical hyperbole that the government is too big and should bud out of any businesses or corporations schemes and plans. But government is never too big to sleep with you in your bedroom, sit with you in your doctors office,  or stand between you and the person you love.

And then we hear from a woman so far removed from you people telling you people mind your own business;even when the business we are wondering about concerns the man who wants to be the leader of this great nation. And then we hear a man whose own reputation for inappropriate behavior while working for our government lecture us on what an American should be. And the harangue continues, is constant  flows like lava burning truth and fact as it finds it way to the feeble minded, fearful, bigoted and bias. And for some reason in this scary year of 2012 Ann Romney, John Sununu enjoy celebrity, status and never once have to account for their behavior.

And once again the silence from the smart is deafening. The educated, the reasonable, the intelligent, the sensitive, the sane are quiet, no waves made, no outcry. And once again, it seems the lie is truth, the fiction fact, the fool is  captain of the ship.

Hey Ann Romney, John Sununu I am an American and one of you people so how about an apology or better yet just go away!
