Related: About this forumSantorum drops in at Toys R Us to buy 4 brand new Magic Etch-A-Sketch Screens.
They think they have this nomination in the bag, so its time to reset. Its time to start moving to the middle, he said. You have an opportunity here in Louisiana to make a very clear statement: Youre not looking for someone who is the Etch-A-Sketch candidate. You are looking for someone who writes what they believe in in stone and stays true to what they say. ...
You can give all the speeches you want, Governor Romney, about freedom, but youve got to have your policies match your rhetoric, said Santorum, who was interrupted by enthusiastic cheers from a crowd of about 400 people. But his rhetoric is soaring and beautiful, isnt it? He talks about freedom, and he talks about repealing Obamacare, and he talks about oil and gas drilling. Wonderful talk last night. Then we find out this morning, well, he really didnt mean it.

they keep up this nonsense all the way to the convention.
When you have nothing to run on I guess using toys for props is as good as anything.

They are so fucking juvenile. They don't behave like adults and I can't understand why anyone takes them seriously.

I love it. I love so much to watch them eating their own.
Are there still new Saturday Night Lives on? Because seriously, the Etch-A-Sketch War must be covered!
