Impact of Romney campaign gaffe
Fox News ^ | March 21, 2012 | Bret Baier

Posted on 03/22/2012 4:07:29 PM PDT by God-fear-republican

ERIC FEHRNSTROM, ROMNEY COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: I think he hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes, it's almost like an Etch A Sketch you can kind of shake it up and restart all over again.

GINGRICH, R - PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Some people talk about making pledges that are in stone. But the idea that a Romney pledge is on Etch A Sketch, this should remind everyone in the conservative movement why they are very worried about a Romney presidency and about a Romney candidacy. And it really makes you doubt and wonder about his sincerity.

RICK SANTORUM: When the primary is over you're gonna see a very different Mitt Romney. We all knew that. May he at least have the courage to admit what we all knew.

Eric Fehrnstron just repeated what his boss said in their strategy or staff meeting, laughing their heads off, they just got a little carried away. I still believe, NEWT!!!!

We will not vote for any ticket with Romney on it.

Even Obama is more honest than Romney, and
Obama is an out and out liar.

It’s weird being on Free Republic and responding to people supporting liberals of any kind.

That's what I think.

A communications director is not going to go to the press and introduce a whole new concept (that he invented)...he is going to simply repeat what the boss told him!

Mitt might purchase the nomination (which is exactly what he and his LDS supporters have done)...but he will NEVER win the election.

NEVER!

It's even funnier watching FReepers that have a long time "born on" date...that still can't use the "spell" button.

Weird!

That said, FR isn't a Pro-Obama site...it's a Pro-Conservative site. Period.

It's all the RomneyBots have, the "Oooga Booga" vote for Romney or you're voting for Obama scare tactic. No logic whatever, just pure emotion.

My wish for the election is for the Senate and the Executive branch to not be under control of the same party.

Well, if the Republicans take the Senate and Romney wins the presidency, you get your wish.

Having lived in MA, I have absolutely no doubts regarding Romney's sincerity. That is why I have said for two years on this site that I would not under any circumstances vote for Mitt. He's simply a slower version of Obama, a big government liberal who doesn't hate America the way Obama does but still wants to take all possible control over our money and our lives. No, thank you.

America with an Obama second term:

America with a Romney first term:

The difference? With Romney the car's going slower.

If you think that anti-Romney = pro-Obama you're as full of crap as a Christmas turkey as far as I'm concerned.

Thinking Americans know romney can never carry the base. They know too much to vote for him.

If you give in each time the GOP says bend over, you've only got yourself to blame.

Yeah, obama will destroy the country. Romney will just do it more slow and painfully, except that it will be someone YOU PUT IN POWER as a voter.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

The GOP will be over when they collapse under a crushing romney defeat. The demoralized base won't turn out and we may lose the house and definitely won't win the senate.

This is what the elites want. We've failed if romney is permitted to win the primary.

Plan accordingly.

I don’t know who’s going to be on the ballot, but I know I’ll be voting against Obama. That seems to be a hard choice for some here.

Horse hockey. I for one plan to vote against Obama. I'll be voting for a conservative. I'm pretty sure everyone else here will be doing the same.

I think that the Hamilton quote posted right above yours sufficiently explains why never voting for Romney is not a difficult decision for me.

Interesting comment.

Which outcome do you prefer, Obama stays and Reid goes, or Reid stays and Obama goes?

We're witnessing the destruction of the Republican party, why, because it has abandoned conservatives. And, we may be witnessing the birth of a third party (TEA) where folks who want individual freedom to trump statism will go instead.

But at this time? Nature doesn't care- birth just happens when it does. I know who I'd like to see lead it but she'd have to pick a running mate palatable to the masses to avoid a still-born party. Doable? Yes. Easy, no. It never is.

Offering McCain II to combat Obama just doesn't offer much promise. I don't want to 'best' this marxist, I want to beat him and his ilk into the ground. I want the entire media to get a bloody nose for all the crap they piled on the Palin family. I want revenge for the many things they've done in the last three + years.

Most of all, I want my grandchildren to know that I didn't go down without a fight against those who are already spending their future. McRomneyDole just doesn't feel like a winner.
