Romney shows courage, Santorum cops out

[Lincoln Republican]

Mitt Romney showed real leadership by demanding that South Carolina take down the Confederate flag, whereas Presidential candidate Rick Santorum cops out and says leave it to the states, showing no leadership whatsoever.

Mitt Romney on Saturday called on South Carolina to take down the Confederate flag flying outside its statehouse.

It should be up to people on the state level, not the federal government, to decide if the Confederate flag should continue to fly on South Carolina's statehouse property and in other locations, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Sunday.

Well, based on this, it looks like Romney will crush Santorum for the 2012 GOP nomination.

If  Mitt was a candidate, of course he would, then go on to win the general.

I love it.

As do I.  Romney epitomizes leadership, while the Republican field, including Santorum, dithers.

[Lincoln Republican]

Everybody, please, do NOT say anything nice about Mitt, even though he speaks out for what is right, while some Republican candidates do not have the guts to step up to the plate and do the right thing.

[Lincoln Republican]

Nevertheless, the facts speak for themselves.

Romney had the courage to repudiate the Confederate flag.

Santorum is simply afraid of losing primary votes and therefore lacks the courage to do the right thing.

[Lincoln Republican]

This Republican field lacks courage.

Mitt, as is his nature, exemplifies courage.

Santorum is a joke.  He lost his senate seat by 19 points which is a record for a sitting senator in the history of the senate.  

Jeb Bush is the only candidate in the field that has showed courage.  He called Nikki Haley personally and encourage her to take the flag down and he hasn't changed his view on immigration reform.  He has guts.

Yes, I really do not know why he keeps running and running.  It seems to me he sticks his foot in his mouth almost every time he opens it.

I agree most of the Republican field is pathetic and are totally unqualified to be a candidate, let alone a nominee, and most certainly not a President.
