Did Mitt Romney Help his cause during the Republican Convention?

I eat a little bit of -- I have long argued. That Mitt Romney is a bit of a step. I really pushed for Chris Christie I -- Darrel let's. I want it's self deprecating I wanted to guy who could shake up around my wanted somebody who would be a little bit more rough and tumble I want to Grady. -- I want to Chris Christie. And I completely dismissed Mitt Romney so many times as the man with a purpose coiffed. The guy who looks like he should star and that old will be the stepped -- wise. I I. Senior -- argued mercilessly. About how Mitt Romney was boring and dull lifeless. Well after watching last week's convention. I many eat some crow I'm gonna say I was dead wrong. Mitt Romney is not lifeless. Was -- Or aloof for elitist. He might be a little bit of those things I really would Mitt Romney is. Is humble. I mean why aren't so much about Mitt -- our number I was in New York. For much of his leadership here in the corner office up on Beacon Hill. I was in New York for a lot of at right guard here just in time for his last year in office when he was already tired of this place and taken off. More than he was staying here. They. Are you speak as powerful as that was. And believe me if I was Barack Obama right now I would be scared would you all agree it's 7746. I put three to two. I think the convention. At a convention had three missions it was to woo independents. And I am a registered you in -- ruled an independent I don't bull by the party -- -- by the person. So they want people like me they especially want people like me who also happen to be one. Because the Democrats are beating this -- this drop. That Republicans hate women. That republic is one -- -- take women back to in 1950 they want to -- -- -- They -- -- -- -- doctor's office says. None of which is true. And then at this convention. You heard from women like Condoleezza Rice who was so inspired brought me to tears in Susanna Martinez is there anything more fun and hearing. Somebody talk about how she used to guard the neighborhood bingo games with a 357 Magnum. Loved her many have a meal up talking about how our parents can -- a ton box in their pockets. In May you heard from Nikki Haley and Kelly ai in Kerry Healey and you had -- strong independent women and absolutely. If you are won and who thinks. Rather than voting -- on the line if you somebody -- using your brain. An eagle eyes is what the party is saying what the platform really is. It completely dismissed the tide Akins. And that India other adults that are on the extreme right. This is the because there's so many strong women in the party. That is how does Mitt Romney speech was as powerful as those women. Who talk the Mike and I wanna hear from you 877 point 69 point 322. While a -- -- convention moment. Me get people talking about Mitt Romney that -- like this retired firefighter from Medford. Who now lives in Vermont. And he talked about how maybe I mean I I get chills today I was telling the story went to -- with a friend of mine and I was telling her the story you know I never heard this. I'll let you hear from the five and I'll tell you what Mitt Romney did this kid in nobody avenue though until this week. You cannot. Measure of man's character. Based on the word should -- others. -- before adoring crowds. During. Times that I happy. But true measure of a man is revealed in his actions. During the times. Of trouble. The client. Hospital room. Of a dying going. -- no cameras. And no reporters. This is the time to make that assessment. It was story after story like this one. And despite a fighter this retired firefighter went on to describe was how Mitt Romney. Knew that this dying boy fourteen years old -- fireworks so we went out and -- I imagine you were the illegally or perhaps that was -- mean I'm not show but the rules are made. Nonetheless -- don't purchased. When he was the governor of Massachusetts. Are huge box of fireworks and went to impeach and god put me in and lit up these fireworks for this kid. That's the thing. Heard about how he administered spiritual care. To his friends and neighbors I mean the stories of people pulled the ball and Romney. Were a lot of moving. Then the ones that he would ever told about himself and -- trying to I was wrong when I read his body language as uncomfortable -- step. And a little. It is somebody who has a little bit of humility and nice to this so every Arab politics -- somebody actually has humility. I didn't -- I think when I -- -- what about you. So her Barack Obama right now. Be a little bit -- And yes because it looked like the Republicans knocked it out of the park. Last week. I wary because in the ready signs if you will if you believe in -- sort of thing now you know that Barack Obama has long been the messiah. He delivered his speeches with Greek columns behind him. And you know about how he was hailed as. JD as opposed to a politician. Well. This jag he seen in monument. To the messiah. And -- torrential about downpour. That they washed away -- we -- not hoping the data the better for up in November. Leaked on the Alec. Our show. Imus now let me pretty bad. I don't wanna comment on the that speeds that President Obama may -- without Colorado in front of all of us. That frankly. You know graduated kids the teenagers feeling one that are believing he has speed. I was just to -- I think the only audience that Barack Obama has -- -- -- you heard the intro that Chris played with the governor. From Maryland Martin O'Malley that is like gallon -- better off. And then you know that he got the call. It just you know in the next day I don't what I meant to say that we do. Yeah I got -- but it was then President Obama thinks it's cute and that they think that kind of work that. You know he bought the paint Romney as someone from you know on the nineteenth in the twentieth century. And what I think Ronnie O'Brien or maybe not that maybe some of their heritage since day. Ed you mean back in the days when we used to have pay the bills and balanced budgets and not spend more than we made both days -- that they are talking about. What exactly alien as a Texas Tech is it wrong like back in the days and you. Taxed a working person almost to the breaking point and then you give their money to a person who is able to work part refuses do. Those days. When not when only I don't know one out of twenty people on food -- not one out of seven back to those dates please. I'll watch black and white TV if I could have those days. The -- -- part of the last that there aren't any more Reagan Democrats that people are all Republicans now you have you have to actually say. But those people are Clinton Democrats because there. The party itself. Far off the rails. That there aren't more Reagan Democrats there there are Clinton Democrats when you know when he actually. Balanced a budget and that party which isn't an impossible Tuesday. Well at that thank you -- for the economic you on that Bob you are next on how -- our show with Michelle -- hi Bob. -- -- Shell that this site about the convention. Well as the effective -- certain match young blood in there that know what they're talking about everything about this car we did everything. Early or they are Bob -- is -- -- because I I absolutely love Susanna Martinez I mean Condoleezza Rice will meet here is. Mean a lot was awesome like cool to favorite moment in the convention with the with the -- Youngblood you talking about. I love rubio speech and also really enjoyed. You know out of this speeches were very good. At detecting even get them at optimum but I'm against young blood in there. That knows what's really happening with the country the called -- honestly you know is that -- record and I'm not aware here. In -- NG city. People were -- to make it out pretty worn out. Is on the wrong church here Eric that I'll not only important -- you know in every. They all bomb out of Egypt in their own -- a lot of people say it. You know but I'm start to feel really helpful thank you very much for the call I don't know about you Brenda. I don't we don't you ask me. Does Mitt Romney have a shot I what is said and this day would vote of pride in and illegals getting voter identification and root of the German shepherd. I'll Milford getting a voter re registration guard I'd say no but I feel very buoyed by what happened last week at at the convention what about you. Now I'm like you haven't shall I oh Bosnia policy on how -- multiple packed times calling him and they do that. Robotic in depth in the -- that they were even using those or identity is this is to give me the Willies and my cop got shaken up. But after watching the entire convention I I think I watched almost all of -- and I didn't plug. Myself about three and a half hours on Thursday night to watch all those wonderful stories about how hot well. Mitt -- is it totally framed everything. Round from me and I think I -- you 1 morning last week with the -- are. Who nailed it and I said that's how I feel I'm no -- -- again Obama. I'm voting to support Romney. I -- Brenda I love that I've been saying it all weekend and you used to be a vote against Obama now to vote for admittance. I mean you know little embarrassed because if you licensing -- somebody please cattle -- Mac guy. Well I think I'm in now I feel terrible because really what he was just as a spiritual humble guy has so rare in politics you don't even recognize that we see it. I absolutely without that what I'm job is and it may be comfortable is you know. You know what we're. At present in the quiet he's getting -- vote is tied for the step at a comfort zone and actually -- eight non combative compensation and I know that can be difficult to that Harry had an issue is that. I don't think -- DeVon nine combative compensation with people and asked them a couple of simple questions about the what do you think about the upcoming election and you voting. What do you think about what do you think about that Rodney and try to get that feel I know like he had want them to look we what they. But to get them to. Talking point you know like why do you think it is the second term a couple of reasons why. Not -- -- -- -- and honest about it -- that make a great. That's the shore and ended. They yo Brenda and and three -- teleprompter anyone -- Patrice you are next welcome to the I would -- that Michelle McPhee. Don't think you really can't do they think you remain alive. You know what I love Dylan and -- because his audiences about Biden. Well we love having you here you definitely his best bill and so thank you had taken the time today. I would say that the best moment there's so many great ones -- I I like Clint Eastwood a lot. And likely that he can't do that to himself and I can't imagine that the companies to get a good job. All did you notice hesitant to -- at all the pundits talked about Wu plus senile than any sort of like mind do you break first of all. That I grabbed the video that came before when he's would you need a little buffer between those that -- in my ammonia in mid speech don't you think he was the perfect -- Since the fighter how he talked about it before I thought I had ever a couple of them I know I don't going to be pathetic it was great that I owe Romney an apology because. Kept all the stuff I. Questioned him for the reason you say and the moment when he said his mother had 1% -- that was the long. I did not know that the -- -- -- things I didn't know about Mitt Romney and I didn't know that his father came from Mexico did you know. I yeah I know how is -- that couldn't think I would feel when he was governor and he never said anything since you think my meaning you have to put every one of them on the front page of the paper. Don't think about it they would have more confidence that. And I think you actually care about women he and his mother as a percent of the time that have been really difficult to do that she probably it'll intellectual educated then. But he respect Whitman has a lot of women in positions of power. That. You know what the -- -- and that you know really his campaign failed to get the right message out for very long time. It was so powerful to hear him talk about his own mind that story about the roads and that's how she found out. And wept I wept it was such a sad story pitched. In look back in the -- she did see how he ran the state of Massachusetts. And while I was difference last year when he was kind of a no show. I did know the April on a lot of strong women. In positions of power in his cabinet and those women -- still pretty well around town today. Can't carry a good job speaking for him he did a great job I've already picked Ryan. But man what -- at a TV I wish he would pick rubio. -- -- Canada actually when -- picked. Condoleezza Rice. Kid negative economic I would think Marco Rubio let a young man my god. Yeah I he -- could move some people but the trees I'm -- few I think that I -- apology for being so judgmental. But certainly they camped owes him an apology -- -- has ago. Exactly right. They would help thanks for the call Chris you -- believe it is -- another Joseph Biden moment. Why how weak you love this guy is -- gift the keeps on given -- -- tell about that after a break refers is go to Josh Josh you are on how we are now. And -- they might call him in the name. And and then a constitutional conservative Michael. On one year old. But. A republic in mentioned. It because you want to I don't let I don't know if you're aware of what. And I mean delegation. But he duly elected delegate. That means allegation. Were kicked out. And Republican National Convention. Delegate -- -- them. And I -- to -- to judge people I hate to say it on what happened to Nobel Josh what did I hate to say but is it true that Ron Paul supporters have to get over it. And we can't get around the guy who is now the nominee. Yeah well -- it. -- double up please pretty -- on. I realize that Romney would have walked you know there are no question that I I have no -- -- Are able to battle on Paul -- and I put it for a very short. But isn't there and even that the unit that -- that much more in golfing community. -- -- but the people were elected shall we elected those people and big for that light. I mean look Josh started really did they probably should have been more inclusion area they -- -- reached out to the Ron Paul supporters because big young and energetic and most of them independents like me and it would have been a Smart bold. They should've handled it differently I'll agree with you. But we can't whine about it for the rest the Clinton Campaign. And I we now find about a for an entire week. Now that's like saying we can't whine about then not counting -- -- I mean they did this. It's the Democrats that the same exact thing the Republicans put -- -- but you don't even hear about what happened show. I don't I know that Arnold that they you Josh for the call I know the people kind of flick. Ron Paul supporters often like like and replies by. That's the breaks get over at the convention is over Mitt Romney is the nominee and if we need to make sure -- the upper Iraq Obama. Doesn't do anyone damages country. We have to -- behind Mitt now -- you can feel good doing it because of the people. That's supported him. And his stories that you heard about his time as a bishop. The story you heard about they -- -- yesterday I was in yoga and have very well respected East Boston high school teacher Chris Leone was wearing a teacher. That was made by student with beautiful. Actually beautiful -- -- that you spots and high school student took up this graphic design for the John and Abigail Adams scholarship. So this teacher. Who really is one of the beloved at that school's wearing his teacher -- -- -- did you admit Ronnie started that scholarship. And he does not already dark about and I didn't know either until last week. When I heard and -- talking about the John and Abigail Adams scholarship for teen ages that was funded by Mitt Romney. So dear all the things that we learned last week of the best moment of the campaign BU 8774694322. -- -- has had another Biden hasn't we gonna tell you all about it. I am Michelle on its feet in how we are. All welcome back his kids have a car show Hyannis on the feet in -- have a car. 8774694322. That's 877469. Point 32 to an arch lineup -- at 617. 7793469. Again -- -- 6177793469. So I. Don't wait to watch Biden in action I you know tomorrow. The Democratic National Convention is going to be. Jump started. Without unfortunately. This six. Teen foot tall CN castle in downtown North Carolina. That makes the messiah Barack Obama look like Buddha Obama. So they'd make it -- -- CN castle of Obama which is typical because there was a gold medal. And narcissism and Obama what do receded as quick as he got the Nobel priest -- -- you got it still was an Olympic. Sport the biggest ego but the healthiest he'd open the -- go it would be Obama and now landslide eat -- the gold silver and bronze. And that category. But. We are -- if I don't exactly. But Barack Obama is gonna do this week at the DNC with hilarious though is at this giant CN castle and my medical from mother nature. -- -- -- -- -- It got washed oh in a torrential downpour this week. Exactly while I'm glad it didn't speak about funny is this this is a big pile of sand. I mean I hate just again point out the metaphor. Perhaps his entire presidency was a house of CN. They -- they. So first tell everybody about the Biden -- because it'd be so much fun this week to watch Joseph Biden inaction in North Carolina. -- You. Organized labor. Or one of the reasons why this country is coming back. Folks let me make something clear and say to the press. America is better off today. That they've left us Wednesday left. Okay. It'll weren't so hot and -- John I don't indeed you know why suit. -- Yeah without a big big. -- actually have got -- today. His press people would give them the actual facts. I mean it wasn't so high. They might actually come up with a talking point -- they didn't bother because you know so a lot thicker and even bother coming up with the ordinary talking points list. So like no way. No way. For the debates between Ryan and -- and and have a parent I actually tell -- about something that we might do again. Make it's country night as crappy as it feels right now at least in the economic. Category. Think it's gonna happen in the can bank in 877 point six 432 TO and by the way Biden had a campaign event in Detroit. And guess what happened. -- let the keys in the U haul and all the equipment for the event got stole it. Beautiful and they'll leave the key in the vehicle in downtown Detroit. And I get that ready to -- that the same guy who -- it wasn't so hot. I did indeed feel the not out play had groups. -- Odds beautiful. Absolutely. Beautiful. And everybody is on netbook because it did not want the keynote speakers for this week's convention. It's not rather than Deval Patrick Massachusetts governor. So for those of you know that I had to suffer through that -- state of the union speeches when he has. Great words of wisdom he's a real siege he tells it things like. And. -- -- -- -- To charity. You're elderly neighbors. Really governor because I never alerted on that out -- guidance. So. It'd be the big moment for the democratic advantage because this is everything about the Democratic Party right now. The real working people the -- -- Democrats. All school Kennedy -- someone actually work for a living and -- and the gimme crowd EDT card after you went to stopping job yesterday. And -- to pick up a couple of things in that three people in front me all three of them into the EDT cards nobody pays that out food and nobody except. Maybe a handful of -- public. So. Tammy Nino was also traveled to the convention the mayor of Boston. He has refused. To endorse. Elizabeth -- Everything about with the Democratic Party is right now the Mayor Menino and empowering your boss of the sixteen years. As refused to a dual us Elizabeth warrant. -- -- So he's saying. He might have an announcement this week I mean I don't see how we can not endorser at the convention and he becomes only endorses Scott Brown at the convention might be a big blow. To the out party if you know what I mean think it Democrats are gonna do this week let's go to Mary Mary you are on how we card show. Came out thanks for taking my call I -- and she all the time and I am a first time caller today. I just wanted to share we use that my husband and I went to -- early twenty. Today and if anybody cares about. The future of the country they really need to see that movie. Beautiful like this we heard it could you bring up the story 2016 and on -- was seen Obama. Barack Obama's brother Barack Obama has made a fortune right about this guy he describes Georgia as his little brother with a perfectly round head in his book dreams from my product. Sure did in -- -- -- him back me up on this in the filmmaker didn't each d'souza. Had to give -- agreement because. Georgia's timing was hospitalized and they wouldn't treat him as he came up with a thousand dollars. In the filmmaker got on the phone at the hospital confirmed yes he's desperate for a thousand dollars to get this emergency surgery for his son. Obama tells at all. That we should work harder and harder to pay the bills of people who just snuck into the country illegally. This guy doesn't even help his only family but last week you heard story the story of the humility of Mitt Romney in the people that he has helped. Like that. Fourteen year old boy with cancer that digging in now. -- crazy Mary. Now I watched that Republican Convention and I learn so much about Mitt Romney more than nine B four K and I hope that a lot of people got to act and I I think that you spent one of the things that that's great amber people feel you don't know him as well but. They watched last week they have a better. I completely agree thank you Mary so much for the call I'm glad you enjoyed it will be Emmy night that says a lot of cardiac. I'm paying the bill is up in the bills for his nineties -- Tony living. In an elderly housing project in South Boston she's the living on the taxpayer for a decade -- decade. Playing bingo -- BT cashing -- in food delivered to her. His brother George who everybody describes that -- 2016. The brother George is also a hard working guy with -- very little expectations on his half brother Barack Hussein Obama. And the idea Barack Obama hasn't done anything to help that guy. I think does a lot especially in contrast with the story that you heard about Mitt Romney last week what do you think Bruno you are next on how we our show with Michelle -- eyebrow and -- -- -- -- Good they that the convention last week certainly two things that people should think about. And one of them was what happened at the convention last week that no one saw. I happen and yet insert some strings last night sitting on the -- of -- seventy plus year old life long Democrat. Union Democrat my upstate New York what this woman said to me was. She says that she can't vote for Obama -- bush you vote last -- in -- form again this time because she fears for her. Five grandchildren and the lights that there ago leaving if we have another four more years she had in 2016. I've seen -- -- older taker girlfriends and go watch it. But I guarantee you that there's a lot more. Seventy plush dual grandmothers and grandfathers sitting on the porch -- all around the United States that are -- -- exact same thing. Don't know just like the Tom -- Democrats right here in the city of Boston people who work for a living like. Don't want people who spoke very highly of -- was the union firefighters at least he's retired now. But this year -- firefighter talked about how Mitt Romney -- in -- the glow of the cameras and he -- zero credit card helped out his -- to a story after story after story about that a lot of union guys. Who would get an elite -- both -- pocket book for Elizabeth Warren. And now the one that it on the when Anna she shows up on job sites you know. Break right the other thing our sailors. You know the disparity he's bringing up George Bush's recession George Bush interest. I'm pleased the statute of limitations on the blame game is a lottery temporary or. Yeah it. Is Bush's recession lasted until the fifth month of his presidency and since then we've had nothing but the nine and a half percent unemployment. And it's got to stop. I'm with you know I mean hey we just got to get the guy you've been aren't on the job when he's with and you're British again I thank you know for the Kyle a Texan just said. Why should it catches you know she teen. Because Biden who had another Biden moment. I think it was today this weekend Biden you'll all that was used. Like equipment for an event in Detroit was stolen because some dope let's accusing it. By and by and tightened righty on Alec are charlatans sonic feet already had I shall. A lot of shall not -- it again today you're right about dodged -- about it staunch Democrats 36 years. Policy and Romney after doing my research over several months. -- watching -- -- administration. I have now come the inclusion and probably most after the convention. -- is not one voting straight Republican. Support wow. The Democratic Party. -- extremely and I go back for many many many years of giving hundreds of thousands of boasted that -- -- it's still nervous again because Obama. You like the kind of Hanley Uggla and we had a picture of he just the pulp and John Kennedy in the kitchen right. That's correct that's right. And therefore will be supporting Mitt Romney and Scott brown and so -- election and yet are close friends. All of people lottery this is just like we are. The -- some actual that we have a large -- and short of the ship. I'm pretty I'm sure the story there army's camp and a lot thank you very much and I'm sure I know that there are a lot of people out there who truly feel like that. I -- can't think Massachusetts. At 6 o'clock tonight act. What we have that would tell you what happened how -- Front line and to tell -- happened to a Republican state perhaps front line it's insane that story's coming up at. Many in Massachusetts are not pleased with the sales idol -- Romney. While Manny I think a lot of people like Ronny who it not going to be so she guy. Or about voicing their concerns about another -- -- a Barack Obama right. Absolutely let me tell you I'm from Cuba will let you -- that socialism. And then mr. Barack Obama says he's look into -- -- -- -- -- four year outlook on the run so he's it was a life right up the back. You know you don't love you doesn't appreciate it when Marco Rubio said. Barack Obama's trying to bring policies to the US that other people another country trying to run away from. Exactly you know what we let you because of socialism the only thing that's different between this -- And Castro is betting a beer and I think our it. And we see smoke pot. We've seen that -- So. A lot. Or your government displaces. I mean and I think -- 44 years. And this is the best in the world that the united. This country and people that don't see what this country. It's. Out of -- Committee. They do so much -- NE SP -- exactly what Marco Rubio said they're people who really don't wait for the how to stop on the stomach -- is the highly Carter.
