The Right Scoop
When Romney Liked High Gas Prices
Between "etch-a-sketch," "Romneycare" and "high gasoline prices" does anyone seriously believe that Romney can beat Obama with this level of hypocrisy?
i once had a Mitsubishi Montero, that i took in to have the timing belt changed. a small washer fell into the engine, and $8500 later (paid for by the dealer), i had a brand new engine. wouldn't it be nice if a 100 million dollar campaign would be busted by a $15 Etch a Sketch !!!

Santorum spokeswoman Alice Stewart is handing out these etch-a-sketches outside the Romney event in MD http://pic.twitter.com/Y4EFjKCf
Another Etch-A-Sketch Funny
Oddly I got this off the Ron Paul site. Most of their stories have lots of comments. This one only had one comment. Romney seems to be a Paulbot's second favorite candidate.

Love me some etch-a-sketch ad... it should be run every day up to the convention if necessary.
This was interesting. In hindsight, I think Santorum should have met with Newt for the last debate. They could have d-clawed Romney & exposed him to millions. I think Newt & Santorum have a chance if Louisiana steps up and puts Romeny on the bottom. It is important that we squash Romney in this state. Do not let the media pick our candidate.
Let's get together here and make this happen.
I think they could put together a better ad. It needs to be more powerful.
OMG! Who is voting for this guy? Who in their right mind can honestly vote for Romney and believe he is going to change the status quo that's bankrupting this country? We need to take a stand conservatives! We have to line up behind Santorum to deny Romney the nomination and give ourselves a chance in the convention to get a real conservative in the fall. In 1976, we did it with Reagan and though he lost in the convention, by the time he finished giving his convention speech, everyone knew they choose the wrong guy for the nomination. We can't make that mistake again! Pick Rick! Santorum/West 2012!
In Texas today, Santorum suggested he’d reelect President Obama over Romney. "If you’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch-a-sketch candidate of the future,” he said. Romney responded in a statement, “I was disappointed to hear that Rick Santorum would rather have Barack Obama as president than a Republican. ... Any of the Republicans running would be better than President Obama and his record of failure.”
Essentially Santorum is using the same tactics as the DNC - taking a quote out of context (when everyone clearly knows what he was referring to).
Looking forward to a Romney presidency!
Sorry, but it's not over for Santorum for all of you who think he doesn't have a following...he has a huge following and he is giving Romney a run for his money! Just wait and see what happens next! Rick believes in what he believes..and the fight isn't over. Don't complain about a LONG primary season b/c frankly, Obama was campaigned 2 years before he was elected! and did nothing in Congress! If Hillary Clinton hadn't backed him, he never would have won..and he lies like an etch a sketch too! Obama is a flip flopper as well...so the only one I trust is Rick or Newt..(personally going for Rick!) Game on! Romney has just played into the hands of his rivals! Can't wait to see how long his campaign manager has his job before he is erased!
He already talked about it today.
See story entitled
Nudge to the Right Produces Mitt's Best Speech Yet -- If He Means It
on his website. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/
i didn't know if that was true or not because Romneybots are hard to find.. but after seeing Simperfi, i whole heartily agree with that.
Just because I support Romney doesn't mean we can't seek common ground as conservatives. Unfortunately I see that there is no room for dissident voices on this site - if you don't fall in line you get berated. Much like the liberal way of thinking.
It will be interesting to see your rhetoric when Romney does become the nominee. You going to stay home? You going to let Obama get re-elected? Hopefully as conservatives we can come together and unify our voices for real change and fiscal conservatism. If not, you're hurting a very good cause.
See Mitt Lie:

(He attempts to make the etch-a-sketch analogy about a change in the administrative scale of his campaign. Not political issues ("tacking too far to the right.") as his representative clearly meant.)
The reporter should have use the SNL response when seeking a reply...
Seriously? Seriously Gov Give me a fair shake.
These videos will strike some as cheap shtick, cheap props to illustrate a point. But Newt brings home the principle: Mitt's campaign has confirmed our fears. He is not a man of enduring principle - a rock on which we may build our hopes. He is a pragmatist. His promises, his principles are written on the sand. I hope many awaken to the inherent dishonesty that has characterized his campaign.
Obama or no Obama, there are conservatives like myself that will never vote for Mitt Romney. Period. We know what this man is and we are through having to vote for someone who is no different than a liberal Democrat.
So is it OK that Newt uses the Etch-a-sketch as a prop? or is Santorum the only one not allowed?
Etch-a-Sketch = welcome distraction from Santorum birth control & pornography talk. Just further reinforces desperation of Santorum campaign.
The Etch-a-Sketch comment demonstrates Romney's indifference toward Conservative principles. America, even the world, will be desperate if The Flipper wins the nomination.
Romney didn't say it. An aide did, and was referring to something completely different than what you, Santorum, Gingrich, and the DNC would have us believe. I encourage you to actually check out Romney's positions and find that you'll agree with mostly everything he's proposing.
"People like you" want everybody to vote for a Liberal liar.
If Romney wins the GOP nomination, then my vote for president (should I choose to cast one) will be for a serial liar who has proven that he does, in fact, support a government-run medical industry, gun control, abortion, and gay marriage, and who has expressed contempt for conservatism. The only question is, "which one?"
Well you didn't really answer any of those questions. Answering a question with a question isn't an answer. But I'll answer yours:
-Race has nothing to do with my opposition to Obama - it's his policies and general philosophy towards government, America, and individual liberties.
-I ask you how Romney is more dangerous than Obama because Romney is going to be the Republican nominee and yet you still can't seem to stomach that. Even though he's changed his positions FOR THE BETTER, people like you are skeptical. State politics are much different than federal politics...that's just how it is. And I gladly welcome Romney to a more conservative stance now that he's going to be in a federal position.
-After seeing all the conservative outcry, I bet Santorum wishes he could etch-a-sketch his "Romney same as Obama" comments. Which is what you and your friends on this site are saying as well. It's damaging our chances of getting a true radical liberal out of office and replacing him with a true fiscal conservative (who opposes Obamacare, gun control, abortion, gay marriage).
So if Romney is the nominee, try as you will to stop it, will you vote for him?
But how is he more dangerous than Obama?Why do you ask me? I said Romney is a Liberal and a liar.If you really do hold conservative values...Conservatives do not have to vote for a Liberal in order to prove their Conservative credentials. That is ridiculous....you can't make a valid argument against voting for Romney over ObamaEven Romney supporters are well aware of good reasons not to vote for Romney, but I have never suggested anyone should vote for Obama....we can look at Newt's record and we can look at Santorum's record and go back and forth all day...Romneycare, gun control, abortion, gay marriage. No other candidate comes anywhere near to Romney's Liberalism. That took 10 seconds.What is it REALLY about Romney that you don't like? [...] Is it because he's Mormon? Are you a religious bigot?Why is it REALLY about Obama that you don't like? Is it because he's Black? Are you a racial bigot?
But how is he more dangerous than Obama? How would Mitt Romney be a worse president than Barack Obama? If you really do hold conservative values, you can't make a valid argument against voting for Romney over Obama.
What is it REALLY about Romney that you don't like? Because we can look at Newt's record and we can look at Santorum's record and go back and forth all day about how each one of them have "proven liberal records" by the way they've voted in the past. So what is it? Is it because he's Mormon? Are you a religious bigot?
I know who said it and I know what he meant. I know what Romney claims his positions are and I know that they are diametrically opposed to his record. I also know that he has lied through his teeth about his record and about the other candidates. He's a proven Liberal and a proven liar. He's a danger to the U.S. and to the world.
which is why i think Obama should ditch Joe and draft Romney as VP. they're very compatible AND they agree on health care
You know it is difficult to reason with Romneybots and unfortunate that as smart has Romney's supporters claim to be, exit polling shows that those who vote in mass for Romney have an income of over $ 100,000 and are college educated and in most cases highly educated, cannot see the sheer hipocrisy in this man. So the etch-a sketch is just a metaphor based on what Romney's campaign manager said and there is no doubt that he will change in the general election.
Its just like when Obama was campaigning and we saw his association with Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers, his views on infanticide and now we see that those were just the tip of the iceberg, but they were ignored just like the Romneybots are ignoring all of this right before thier eyes. It appears that Romney attracts the same people that Obama attracted in 2008. I just never believed that someone like that would be taking over the Republican party.
SempreFi, there is just way too much there. I mean its not just one issue its numerous issues. But the major one is Romneycare. I mean just when I think I found something that I can agree with Romney on then a clip or video shows up with him saying just the opposite. So it difficult to find something likeable about a man who fli-flops all the time. I want to know what is it that Romney believes? What is his ideology? Really, what does he believe in? At least we kow Obama's beleif system and we don't like it. I want someone who can go toe-to-toe with Obama and articulate Conservatism.
Actually, it's difficult to reason with people who say they're conservative yet use the same tactics as liberals to try and denigrate other candidates and people who support them. I'll freely admit that Romney is not the perfect candidate...but who is?
I haven't allowed my ideology to get in front of my realism like many people on this thread. Governor Romney’s political career may not reflect the ideal balance between conviction and calculation, but a presidential primary offers a choice among imperfect alternatives, not embodied ideals. Weighed against the available alternatives, Romney comes out ahead — way ahead — because he is the only one of the primary candidates with a good shot at achieving a prerequisite for advancing a conservative agenda as president: namely, actually becoming president.
Totally taken out of context, adding there own spin, and what you get is a whole crap load of propaganda!! The more I here from Santorum the more I dislike the man on all levels...
Cynthia, you are a voice of reason amongst chaos and confusion on this site. In Texas today, Santorum suggested he’d reelect President Obama over Romney. If that isn't damaging to the conservative cause I don't know what is!
"here"
Yeah, that about explains it. Romneytards and paultards, same f'ing scumbaggery se to destroy conservatism.
In a brokered convention, who would you vote for
Palin, West, Rubio-Top Picks in a Republican Brokered Convention?
Is it fair in a brokered convention to elect someone who hasn't campaign and really spent the time articulating and expressing thier view or issues. Afterall that is how we found out all this stuff about Romney. I love Gov. Palin but I do have some slight reservations concerning and need clarification about her support on immigration. Also, I would want to know why she support Newt Gingrich as oppose to Rick Santorum? Just ask'in.
