Conservative columnist calls Romney's FEMA position "not a good idea"

Debra Saunders, a conservative columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, on Sunday said Mitt Romney’s decision to flip flop on his call to “absolutely” abolish federal disaster aid after Hurricane Sandy struck the east coast was an example of the “the Etch-A-Sketch Romney.”

Speaking to CNN’s Howard Kurtz on Sunday, Saunders pointed out that Romney’s flip flop was what senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom was talking about when he said that Romney could shake up his campaign “like an Etch A Sketch” and “start over again” after spending the primary season pandering to conservative voters.

“It is fair game for the press,” Saunders admitted. “He did say that he wanted to move this federal agency — for states to run things. And I’m sure a lot of people don’t think that’s a good idea. You don’t see him talking about that a lot this week, do you?”
