The Republican National Convention 2012
#15 Quotable Night
Our favorite Romney quote of the night was this one “In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class”. It may have been sassy but we’re not completely sure how classy it was supposed to be.

Not Giving Up
Romney was just full of quotable moments at the convention. One of our favorites was this one “Many Americans have given up on this president but they haven’t ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves. Not on each other. And not on America” because it was an insult and a message of hope all at the same time!

Paul Ryan's Speech
Vice President nominee Paul Ryan might be on the right track. During his speech he said "We have a plan for a stronger middle class, with the goal of generating 12 million new jobs over the next four years." That sounds like an America we can believe in!
