Despite strong opposition from congressional Republicans, the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010” passed in the then-Democrat controlled House (and Senate) and was signed into law by President Obama on Dec. 22, 2010.

That disgraceful vote was taken one year ago today. If there really would have been "strong opposition from congressional Republicans", those in the Senate could have filibustered it. Even if that had failed (which I doubt it would have because congress was anxious to get home for vacation), then the solid GOP majority in the house taking office just a couple of weeks later could have immediately voted to cut off funds for its implementation.

You are 100% correct. Romney's statement here reflects nothing more and nothing less than the view of the GOP establishment. He is the legitimate successor to Bush I, Bush II and McCain. If we want an alternative, we have to support an alternative, not a different flavor of the same.

Totally agree. Right now the alternative is Gingrich. I like Bachmann, but she doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Too bad. I would love being able to watch an intelligent, attractive woman give Presidential speeches instead of another idiot political automaton.

WRONG! First of all - ALL of them are veterans - they did do something FOR America. Mitt NEVER has and neither has barry - birds of a feather - both big gov't, both anti American, IMO - unless you can tell me mitt's accomplishments FOR America.
