Thus far each GOP candidate has created a major disappointment DURING the campaign ... NOW ROMNEY

Today, Mitt Romney refused to take a position on the big battle in Ohio over the ballot initiative to repeal Governor John Kasich’s law rolling back the collective bargaining rights of public employees. The fight is a hugely important one to conservatives, with right wing money flowing into the state, and conservative bloggers erupted in fury at Romney, asking how it is that he can be running for president when he isn’t willing to take a firm stand against the scourge of public employees.

In response to the outcry, Romney’s campaign rolled out a creative argument: His reluctance is about preserving states rights. “Gov. Romney believes that the citizens of states should be able to make decisions about important matters of policy that affect their states on their own,” Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul explained.

Mitt Romney, cowardly have it both ways, politics as usual. ANOTHER BRICK ON THE PILE OF HIS MAJOR FLAW. SPINELESS INSIDE? Unwilling to take a political risk by standing on something?

Is that all there is?

There was a man who as governor DID do all that conservatives wanted. There was a man who fit the Tea Party bill. But his wife’s infidelities, and his perception that his taking her back would BE PERCEIVED as weakness prevented him from seriously considering a run. This man understood the difference between conservative principle and social conservative election third rail issues based on faith. That man is Mitch Daniels.

Paul Ryan won’t run. Rubio won’t even CONSIDER the #2 position. Each of the candidates so far has demonstrated some major weakness (though none nearly so great as the current execrable occupant of 1660 PA Ave.).

Cain a real leader on domestic issues, and foreign policy - mental and academic professional vacuum.

Newt, spending 350-500k at Tiffany’s while the nation’s middle class is sand belted away. What kind of judgment is that? And dissing Ryan's plan the WAY HE DID?

Perry using faith forums to garner Evangelical base support, and frankly then issue grave doubts among those not so inclined, and far worse, and AGAIN, and AGAIN (if anyone saw O’Reilly last night) showing how unprepared (on critical issues) he looks to be. The former MIGHT be overlooked, but put both together and you get inadequacy. Perry looks to me right now as if he is someone who needed 4 years to prepare to be ready, not a month

Paul, CUCKOO

Bachmann, her lips move faster than her brain’s ability to relate what’s on the way out of them to known facts.

Santorum, MR. SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE? AYFKM? He couldn’t hold a senate seat espousing these values.

You look at all of this stuff and and at THIS snapshot millisecond of this tropical storm of mistakes, I’m back to Newt as the least worst mistake maker. If nothing else he knows his stuff.

But someone ought to go talk to Daniels and tell him, WE, the nation, need him to to reconsider.

TO SERVE. And his cheating wife will just have to suck it up and provide a lesson on just how important trust, loyalty and fidelity can turn out to be between two people.

As a Romney supporter, I'm disappointed he won't back up Gov. Kasich on this issue.

I used to think Romney had beliefs which, coming thru MASS he was afraid if he made them well known, would ensure he lost. Now it looks like he may have no real principles except one:

To avoid all stands which might lose votes.

I CANNOT TELL ANYMORE.

Romney is looking more & more like a 'French' candidate. Gingrich, for all his flaws, is the only one of the group that would be Sharia Barry's worst nightmare in a debate. He could take him apart & BO wouldn't even realize he's been sliced & diced until it was over.

I was never a Romney man.
But, certainly under ANY conceivable set of circumstances he is vastly better than a man who has NEVER held a real job, and whose mantra is a social justice idea born out of Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dorhn launch party

But up HERE, I have to tell you, Collins and Snowe actually take positions and STICK. Easy or not, tea party or not.
