Blog The Vote- Romney supports "don't ask, don't tell"

The Washington Post reports:
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R), who once advocated allowing gays to serve openly in the military, said yesterday that he does not think the Pentagon should change its "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the midst of the Iraq war.

" 'Don't ask, don't tell' has worked well. We're in the middle of a conflict. Now is not the time for a change in that regard, and I don't have a policy posture as to allowing gays in the military to serve there openly," Romney, a presidential candidate, said on ABC's "This Week."

This is why I don't like Mitt Romney as a Republican candidate for President. He is not standing by what he has been saying, he is continuously changing his opinion on the social issues which drive American voters. People tend to care less for important political issues like education funding, defense policies, et cetera and care more about issue that impact their everyday life. Romney is doing the same thing that John Kerry did in 2004 flip-flopping and it will cause his demise for the nomination.
