WASHINGTON — The first television ads of Mitt Romney’s general election campaign boasted of how he would confront China’s leaders, whom he has branded “cheaters” on economic policy. He would be a president, he said, who “stands up to China on trade and demands they play by the rules.”
Yet before he held public office — and at a crucial moment for the communist government — Romney was one of the chief Western voices arguing that critics should overlook China’s human rights record and welcome its application for a top ticket to international legitimacy: hosting the Olympic Games in Beijing.

I don't understand why another example of Romney pandering is news. Why doesn't the Globe just keep a daily column? This man has no soul and only one purpose in life: money in his pocket.
Does Willard have any backbone at all or is he a blade of grass that blows wherever the wind sends it?
