I hope someone asks Romney probing questions about his stand against the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (START) with the Russians last year. At the time the Tea Partiers were against it for who knows what stupid reasons and so, like he has done on so many things, Romney pandered to them and said he was against signing the treaty.
Five living Republican former Secretary of State (Kissinger, Shultz, Baker, Eagleburger and Powell) signed off on an opinion piece published in the Washington Post titled "The Republican Case for the New Start Treaty". When it was voted on in the Senate it passed 71 to 24. Romney choosing to pander to the Tea Partiers rather than calling for what was obviously the best thing for the U.S. (pass the treaty) was a gutless, stupid thing to do.
