    Mitt Romney misspelled America on his new app, which is no big deal until he invades Iraq when he meant Iran. #amercia

    I can see #Amercia from my house- Sarah Palin when asked about Matt's gaffe.

    The great irony of it all is that Obama's birth certificate proves he was not born in #Amercia.

  17. Gone is fear of Romney's possible election since he apparently moved his campaign to the nation of #Amercia. #withmitt

    #amercia Romney makes a small mistake & switches the letter i & c and people freak out and act as if he's stupid. We all make typos.

  25. Why are all these elitists upset about the spelling of 'Amercia'? We need job creators, not spellers! http://pic.twitter.com/MdBghqoJ
