Santorum Suggests Obama Preferable to "Etch-A-Sketch" Romney.

[true believer forever]

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."

Instead of an “Etch-A-Sketch”, Little Ricky should have had a coonskin cap, in memory of the siege of the Alamo.

The remarks by Santorum the past couple days will define him forever. He is behaving like the spoiled brat we all knew in school.
He is a SORE LOSER!!!

To vote for Obama is un American

Agreed.

you could also turn this comment around and say that the crowd is so anti- Romney that they would vote for Obama. (staying home is a vote FOR Obama) People have died so that we can vote. to not exercise our vote is un -American.

I'd vote third party. (Besides, there's other races than POTUS...I don't advocate "staying home.")

And no, voting third party is NOT a "vote for Obama" -- anymore than when an eventual candidate of some "re-reformed" Republican party 20-30 years from now runs to the left of Obama ... and if my offspring doesn't/don't vote for him...no, that wouldn't be a vote for the Dem candidate then either...

But, go ahead. Train your kids & grandkids to be liberals in (R) clothing. Train them that they are "doing the right thing" as long as they vote against the (D).

Go ahead...vote in socialists lite to defeat socialists heavy...you socialist-lite lovers.

[DaltonNC]

Good job, I am so proud of you.

And..I was the biggest Santorum supporter until he made these liberal jealous remarks.

Ultimately, we’re at fault for allowing the perpetuation of the scum that’s inhabiting the GOP.

It's important to look at the past and to accept responsibility - I fully admit to having voted for most of the RINOs that have gotten the GOP nomination since 1988, but ultimately we will be at fault if we continue to support those types.

If we don't start breaking with the RINO scum now, then people will say it'll be better in 2016, but then 2016 rolls around, and we'll be right back to having the same type of RINO scum floating to the top, and people will say it'll be better in 2020, and the cycle will continue to perpetuate itself.

Every Conservative will have to decide for themselves if they truly are Conservatives, or if they are going to let themselves be used and to keep on pulling the lever for somebody simply because they have an (R) next to their name.

For me, I think it's my grandchildren that are driving me. If, God forbid, Romney got the nomination, I could not look them in the eyes and tell them I'm a Conservative if I voted for him.

I've seen a few FReepers say that if Romney gets the nomination and we don't vote for him, we are throwing our votes away. I'd say to them that they are the ones wasting their votes, because they are bending over for a RINO who is going to get his ass handed to him by Obama and the MSM.

The answer is “as president I am loyal to the USA and any actions I take as president is only for the good of the USA”, as an individual, any actions I take is for the good of my family and God.

Romney thinks the head of the mormon church is a prophet of God. You really think he will set aside the mormon church for the United States of America?

[af_vet_rr]

People have died so that we can vote. to not exercise our vote is un -American.

Amen to that. If Romney gets the nomination, I may not vote for him, but I'll vote nonetheless, for the most conservative candidates on the ballot.

JGI !

[Elsie]

dfwgator “What do you think Romney is more loyal to, The LDS, or the USA?”

Let's rephrase it:

“Who do you think Romney is more loyal to, CHRIST, or the USA?”

[Elsie]

Sure a lot of folks in this thread with TRUE in their screenname!

[Elsie]

Romney thinks the head of the mormon church is a prophet of God. or ELSE!

Oh, they can say that their leaders were NOT speaking for GOD when they said    WHATEVER    but that's NOT the same as criticizing!

( Remember fellow Christians:  the Mormon's criticize US because they've been taught that they CAN'T criticize ANY of their leaders; so they HAVE to vent somehow! )

The march continues, place marker.

Anyone have audio?

[nandrew]

Are you one of the people who voted for Ross Perot in 1992 and helped Bill Clinton get elected?

[BobL]

“And then they will be in here pissing and moaning that obama won.”

I agree. Let’s see - the biggest issue dividing the nation leading up to 2008 was Amnesty - so who do WE choose, a pro-Amnesty candidate. Now the biggest issue dividing the nation leading up to 2012 is Obamacare - so who do WE choose, who else, but the ARCHITECT of Obamacare.

[Colofornian]

Are you one of the people who voted for Ross Perot in 1992 and helped Bill Clinton get elected?

No...

Are you one of the ones who didn't do enough in the primaries that got Bob Dole nominated?

[svcw]

Just saying.

[NYCslicker]

I know.

If it weren’t absolutely necessary to save the country from a committed Marxist I would find the thought repugnant myself.

In fact I do find it repugnant anyway, but it must be done.

[nandrew]

I was too young back then.

You miss the point. Are you going to vote for some third party guy who doesn’t stand a chance of beating Obama? That is how we got Woodrow Wilson and Bill Clinton.
Anyway we are discussing the general election not the primaries so Bob Dole doesn’t compute.
