Top Romney Advisor Eric Fehrnstrom: Romney Does Not Believe Health Care Mandate Is A Tax

1. He was trying to be on both sides of the argument.

Even Chuck Todd seemed a little confused. In the end, he just made an ass of himself.

2. Earache Fartstorm is an idiot.

He's active in both the Scott Brown and Mitt Romney campaigns. He screws up by the numbers. Leave him enough rope and he'll take care of both of them.

[siligut]

3. He would never admit it

It's his turn to be president, Anne said so.

4. Mitt had a 35% approval rating at the end of his term as governor.

This fact neeeds to be repeated over and over.

5. Ah, the broken clock is right again. Just like his Etch-A-Sketch remark. nt

6. "Sir Etch-A-Sketch" is STILL in Mitt's employ???

Not even demoted from making public statements? Well, that certainly explains this manifesto:

Romney campaign spokesman Lenny Alcivar recently outlined how the campaign will avoid journalists and cooridnate and communicate their message through Brietbart.com and the Drudge Report:

"When this election is over, one of the lessons that will be learned by the mainstream media is that they no longer have a toe-hold on how Americans receive their news. Never before – in a way that has taken Democrats off stride – have we seen the confluence of an aggressive online community, led by Breitbart, and an aggressive campaign team not willing to cede an inch of ground to Democrats. This combination has created a new political reality. We no longer allow the mainstream media to define the political realities in America. The rise of Breitbart, Drudge and others, combined with an aggressive Romney campaign is a powerful tool in the arsenal of the conservative movement.

…The governor will no longer allow the mainstream media to dictate the terms of this debate. This is just the beginning… We are witnessing the rise of the center right media."

7. "believe" Fox News et all use "believe" and "ideals" and "principle" in place of facts and results

because, you see, BELIEFS can't be disproved (even when the beliefs have been proven to be wrong).

8. Not just his advisor ...

Scalia doesn't think it's a tax, either. His opinion has as much weight as Roberts ...

Nor does William Bennett ...

So, who are they going to believe? Roberts, who "crossed over to the dark side" by declaring it Constitutional? Or the guys who said it's not a tax?

[Proles]

9. Aw, ain't it a pickle?

Admitting it's a tax essentially shows that the republicans agree with SCOTUS's assessment that it's a constitutional tax, while denying it's a tax makes the health care reform seem more palatable to republican voters.
