You are saying that Romney is a liberal based on the words of two other people. What you are crying about in the first scenario, the infamous “Etch-a-Sketch” comment is a basic reality of political campaigns. You differentiate yourself from mostly like-minded individuals in the primary. You are targeting like-minded voters. In the general election, you are campaigning against somebody who is not like-minded, and you are trying to gain the votes of the entire country and not just like-minded individuals. That’s common sense. Also, neither Romney nor his advisor said anything about “erasing his conservative positions.” What they said was that they would take a different approach, which is, you know, what every single candidate does.
Second, this just takes a quote from Norm Coleman (who is now a “Romney advisor”) and pretends that not only has Romney said it, he fully supports it. Of course, Romney has been campaigning against it the entire time. Being “advised” to do something doesn’t mean you’ll do it and it certainly doesn’t mean you think it’s a good idea.
God gave you a brain. Use it.
I am saying that Romney is a liberal based on his RECORD.
