Woman Breaks Down and Weeps During Paul Ryan Event: ‘That’s Why I’m Voting for You’

Sep. 18, 2012 4:25pm Jason Howerton

A Massachusetts woman broke down and wept during a Paul Ryan event as she told the vice presidential nominee why she is voting for him and Mitt Romney.

“It’s been really tough and I’ve found my values again and that’s why I’m voting for you,” she said.

“I went to Harvard medical and dental school and what I saw there was something I’ve never seen on TV or in real life and that was people who had an amazing education and something they always worked hard for. But I never saw this kind of education, and I gave them the benefit of the doubt that they knew more than me,” she said, her voice beginning to crack.

She continued: “And I graduated in ’93 and I’ve been living in Massachusetts with very educated people only to find out that it’s been really great but not the secret ingredient,” almost completely overtaken by emotions at this point. “They’ve been telling me what to do, I’ve been helping people but they haven’t become my friends. What does you daddy do? [they ask], he was an auto mechanic. ‘Don’t talk to me again.’”

The woman also took a shot at Elizabeth Warren and her assumption that because tax dollars pay for the roads, nobody is 100 percent responsible for the success of their business.

“When Elizabeth Warren shows me that those roads were not just built for a business man, because they were built for…everybody but it was me who got my education, I went to Harvard.”

  Liberal hypocritical snobs. They say that they want to help the poor, but when they come face-to-face with a woman that didn’t have wealthy parents, they treat them like garbage. She is a better person than they are. She appreciates that her parents had to work hard to help her get into a high-price college, but they don’t.

  Her courage to stand tall and speak freely with full emotion calling liberals out for their hypocrisy was just magnificent. We are Americans. We live in the greatest nation in the world. We are, like the message of the GOP convention, able to reach deep within ourselves in times of great trial and summon the determination and inner strength to rise up and resist the chains of government dependency, to stand tall and free and be successful and victorious in our accomplishments both as individuals and as members of a free society.
  
  America is coming home in November and I, for one, will welcome her with open arms.

  It’s not just the liberals who crave the status that comes from being a member of the “Elite Class”. Why do you think so many republicans turn against other republicans at the first sign of trouble? Look at who reacted against Romney immediately after the “secret” video was released yesterday. Those people are trying to keep themselves on some kind of “A list” for cocktail parties. How sick is it that we listen to them?

I worked for state govt with mostly all libs. They are intolerant, always causing chaos and strife in the office and are never happy and very jealous when some other than them gets promoted, reward or acknowledgements. If you live your life a certain way they think it is a judgement on how they choose to live their lives. ?????? Nuts! Plus they stated a million times in word and/or action that they will vote for their job and not the country. Then you add in the union thugs. Not a fun place unless you are a anal retentive loud mouth lemming.

  To show how intolerant liberals are, my brother was at a store when he and another man started talking about general things and then politics. The mantold my brother he;’ became an american citizen and was from El Salvador. He mentioned he was voting for Romney and Ryan. My brother was apathetic and said he was not voting at all. The man expressed the importance of voting. He started to talk about Romney and Ryan when a liberal came out of no where and started yelling at them both calling the (bleep) republicans, racist etc. Then he struck the poor man in the face in front of my brother. My brother quickly stopped the assault. The Obama fanatic was arrested for assault. Yup, peace loving libturd that this person thinks’ he was is in Jail. Yup, there is a god.

  SHE SAID: She is 1st generation American, her parents are from Yugoslavia/Romania and that she has managed to get her education by herself and managed to graduate Harvard, in other words, Watson, on the same standing with the educated elite who she respected and allowed they were smarter than she who had never been around that kind of environment found none wished to make friends and when asked what her father did was rejected because her father was a mechanic. She found that though she is equally educated their values were not what she expected and that kind of sums it up in two sentences. In other words her father was not John Kerry and the educated elitists are not what they’re cracked up to be to a brand new 1st generation American. That is why she is voting for Romney/Ryan. She gets it. I am proud to be her fellow American and she can come to Texas anytime she wants. Some of us ladies are emotional, get over it. And I see I am not the Lone Ranger.

She cried because she has found everything she knew in her heart to be true, not what her elitist friends were telling her, who she realized were not genuine (they did not become her friends because her Dad was a mechanic!) She knows now that they don’t have the answers just because they are “educated.” After working hard to go to school and work, she hears what Romney/Ryan are saying and it makes more sense.
I was lucky in that I went to college late. I had worked, paid taxes, raised kids, and I knew some of my professors were full of it. I challenged them with real life experience. They didn’t like it, but I was old enough not to care what they liked.

  I went to college when I was 45 and was disgusted how some of the professors “played” the younger students and abused their positions of power over them in the grading process. And how the young people lapped and sucked it up. There were several of us “nontraditional students” (code word for middle aged) and we could see right through all of it. If it wasn’t so destructive to these young people, it would have been down-right hilarious.

Funny how the people (or relatives of) that came from Communist countries appreciate the U.S. so much more than the typical Obama voter. More to the point, it’s amazing how these people (as do EVERY SINGLE person I know that came from a formerly or active Communist country) unanimously state that Obama and his cabal are Socialists (Communist-lite), spouting the same “collectivist/Marxist” rhetoric and using the same tactics of the governments they escaped……

  Some of us smart folks actually get scholarships. It’s pretty cool. We got good grades, did well on our standardized tests and put together resumes reflecting community and extracurricular commitments. Low and behold, many universities actually give you money to come to their schools.

  We need to return to real American values. I have been studying–not just reading–the declaration of independence, constitution, amendments, and the writings of our founders for the last few months. It is beyond obvious that we are way, way off the rails. Of course we are failing! Turning our backs to Natural Law is national suicide!!
  
  The problem is that almost all of us don’t even know that we don’t know. Defective knowledge…

And that is sad. I do believe that Obama and his are running scared in regards to the Jefferson quote. Why else come out with a stupid story about Romney after the wasp nest of protesters and murders of our fellow Americans in Egypt and all the blah blah attempt to blame it on a movie and attempting to take away the guy’s freedom of speech?

  It is possible for a proficient auto mechanic to send a kid to Harvard, but it is a terrible waste of his money. Harvard has largely become a bastion of cultural rot.

Lets remember those ladies running like crazy in the street of Chicago because Obama was giving money away. Ladies that more likely didn’t bother to educated themselves and were and are living out of the government’s pocket.
And it wasn’t the color of their skin what made them different from the lady in this video. It was their self-esteem and self reliance.
This is the perfect example to illustrate Romney’s words on the “47%”.

  I believe she got emotional because of her experience as an immigrant and her professional success, not because she is speaking to a politician or voting for R/R.
  I have seen this kind of emotion on immigrants that come here and take all the opportunities that this amazing country offers to anyone that wants to achieve their goals and their American dream.
