Republicans - Are you happy to hear your likely nominee formulates his positions on an Etch-a-Sketch?

http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/22/politics/campaign-wr...

Romney's own aide admits that everything he's said during the campaign will be erased like a drawing on an Etch-a-Sketch once he's nominated. How could anyone vote for an insincere candidate like that?

Update:

For those who say it's a metaphor or a simile--of course it is. But what is it a metaphor for? Obviously, that we shouldn't take anything he says during the campaign seriously, since he'll be saying something completely different once he's nominated.

    lol... it seems that cons can just say "it's a metaphor"... and think that magically makes everything better...

    metaphors do have meaning...

    It was a metaphor that you liberals are going way over the top with your ridiculous interpretations. Congrats on making your side looking even more silly than usual. But I guess that is what happens when libs are desperate to take voter's attention away from Obama's failures.

    Funny that came out like it did, but all candidates stroke their base in primary elections then try to pivot toward the center. Romney is just more flexible than most.

    Democrats--Are you happy with a "community organizer" who has done little to no good while he's been President? Who has not a clue WHAT he's doing? Who's more concerned with filling out his basketball brackets than actually running the country? That man is going down as THE worst President in History and all I can say is thank God I had the good sense NOT to vote for that imbecile. 229 days until Election 2012 and I'm counting down every last one of them!!!!!!!!!!
