Rick Santorum's latest attempt to use a Mitt Romney aide's "Etch-A-Sketch" remark against the Republican front-runner instead gave his rival a chance to fire back on Thursday, after Santorum seemed to say he'd rather see President Obama reelected than send Romney to the White House.
Speaking at an event in Texas, Santorum again made the case that Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom's comments Wednesday on CNN about a "reset" of the campaign if Romney clinched the nomination showed the former Massachusetts governor's efforts to appeal to conservatives were insincere.
"You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who's just going to be a little different than the person in there," Santorum told a crowd in San Antonio, according to NBC News. "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."

Santorum is not an idiot. People like you are prime reason we are in the mess we are in. Just because you didn’t get your way with Newt, you bash the only other possible candidate to get Romney away from nominee. Well congrats on giving Obama another 4 years. Your constant bashing Santorum is working and you will get your wish of not having Santorum, but getting your President, President Obama another 4 years. I hope you feel good.
Newbie.
What in the effing world makes you think you know anything about what I have given to, or how hard I have worked for, and am working for Newt? What kind of moral superiority makes you arrogant enough to infer that? Oh, I know, santorum supporters are just like their candidate, they know better than everybody else about every thing.
Oh, and Rick Perry just got the okay from the FEC to start a new super pac from his leftover money from his campaign... Lots of girl scouts, lots of cookies coming up.

Oh, and Uncle Sheldon just gave another 5.5 million...

Maybe you oughta just give it up... you have no credibility as anything but a santorum hack...
That's all for now. I don't spend my time in discussion with Santorum supporters, too stubborn, too sanctimnonious, too stupid. I hope you understand.
Really. More political baby talk. Ever hear this one, Junior?-- "A Choice not an Echo."
Know where that came from? Look it up and see how well that worked out.
You win by tapping into the legitimate concerns of the majority and giving voice to those concerns. You don't win by lecturing and sermonizing, you don't win by making demogogic statements about your party's future candidate.
I didn’t get my information from any “members” but from an anti site.

Newt was out over a month ago...mostly because Social Conservatives think Newt is a bad man.
But anyone who doubts he is the better man is missing a connection with reality.
I hope he gets his butt handed to him.
Do you ever think????? If Romney wins tomorrow, there won’t be a brokered convention. If Romney wins tomorrow, it is OVER. Why you hope Santorum gets beat by Romney is beyond me.
Maybe it’s Walker we should name at the convention in Tampa.
Levin ...and ardent Santorium support . Can’t figure it . Savage reluctantly supports Romney . Hannity , although he won’t admit it , is a Gingrich man . How about Limbaugh ?
D. All of the above
I wonder how many in Rick’s brigade are familiar with your sharp rebuke of the rank Santorum hit-piece posted here a couple of days ago.
I don’t want to have to make that choice either! We must defeat Obama, and I STILL HOPE Newt is our nominee!
Wow......my, oh my.
We are not going back because we never were there. Tell me exactly what states Newt has even a slight chance of winning in the future with all this new found gold. If he doesn't win three more, he is done in Tampa per GOP Convention rule #40.
It isn't over if Romney wins on Saturday. Newt is right now running an anti-romney ad in La, that helps newt and santorum both. Newt is going to the convention. He has said that. I believe him. I am going to the convention, and everyday more people are planning to go with me. Newt is going to the convention. This man knows how to keep on marching while he wipes the blood and mud from his face. Newt is going to the convention.
Politics is a full-contact sport.
If you feel your kids deserve better than Romney, so be it. LIKE WHO? OBAMA?
“He was for gay marriage and still is,”
As I said, I realize that Jesus Christ isn’t running this year, so I am left with frail, flawed, human choices.
If you think another four years of the lying, racist, Affirmative Action promote Marxist, who sold cocaine to college kids is better for your children than having Romney as Prez, should it come to that, YOU ARE TRULY BLIND, and there is no further point in discussion.
Yes, and he knew what he was doing when he did it. A vile hypocrite, this Santorum.
Shove a microphone in front of her face and see if she says differently. Until she does, this last statement given at CPAC still stands.
