Ann Romney previews faith speech
Ann Romney said this morning that her husband's much-ballyhooed speech Thursday on his Mormon faith will focus on religious liberty.
In an interview on MSNBC (watch excerpts here), she quoted John F. Kennedy's 1960 speech in which he said he was not a Catholic running for president, but an American running for president.
"He is not just the Mormon candidate," Romney said of Mitt Romney. "He will be an American running for president." She converted to Mormonism and has said Mitt was the first Mormon she ever met.
She politely sidestepped questions about whether the timing of the speech was connected to the rise of Mike Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister who has made his faith a central theme of his campaign.
"It was time," she said. "It was his choice."
Asked whether Romney's candidacy will be different after the speech, she replied, "We will see. Tune in and see."






MITT ROMNEY BY FAR THE BEAST CANDIDATE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, WHAY DOEST ANYONE ELSE SEE THIS, ARE STUPID., OR JUST BLIND ? KEN
Mitt is a good man. Probably the best qualified and the most moral candidate. His religion should have no bearing on his qualifications and impartiality, nor his respect for other beliefs. He's proven himself as a Governor and a businessman.
Mr. Romney WANTS to talk about religion - it's something that will keep the inconvenient facts of his RECORD from showing up. There isn't a major issue he HASN'T changed his position on. Remember, he ran in Massachusetts and got elected for what he sais he believed in. Then, he just jams a sharp stick up all the people that voted for him by showing he's completely different than he said he was. He doesn't really have any thoughts or platform of his own - he's just a sock puppet who floats any way the wind blows. Don't get me wrong - he LOOKS fabulous! Really beautiful guy, got a great smile - and tall as all get out. My candidate just kinda looks like an old bantam rooster - that's funny 'cause it's so true. Dr. Ron Paul has been fighting the good fight for 20 years now in Congress. You all hear about him as Dr. No, but do you know he authors at least 10 pieces of legislation a year to REDUCE the federal government's power to those enumerated in the Constitution? Sometimes bills, but sometimes Constitutional Amendments too. He believes that if we need to do something that's not in the Constitution we should amend it to allow us to do so LEGALLY. You'll note this post WON'T be followed by one showing all his flip-flops... because there aren't any. I KNOW you've seen us all posting about him - why not take half an hour and see what the buzz is about at www.RonPaul2008.com? Or just look in the Federal Register?
