Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney surprised donors this morning at the Harvard Club in New York with an ambivalent answer to the question of whether America is ready to seriously alter its large entitlement programs.
Romney, speaking to more than 100 donors and supporters at the private breakfast, responded to a question from his supporters on the issue.
"I don't know," he replied, according to a source in the room, before going on to warn that Social Security and Medicare are -- in the source's paraphrase -- "basically the third rails in politics and he doesnt know if were going to be able to actually make a dent in reforming them."
"It was really soft rhetoric, definitely not the kind of tough talk thats going to be necessary in a Republican primary," the source said.

The usual mealy-mouthed nonsense from this loser...
Milt always has a finger testing the wind so he knows which way to go.
I’m supposed to go to a lunch with one of his family members in my community next week: billed as a “recruiting event”. I asked how they got my name and they didn’t know.
HELP!! Should I go for the free lunch or skip it because I will never support the RINO?
I wish it was from Trump instead. :-)
Just what we don’t need...another weakling for President. Donald Trump is looking better every day.
Dot the words spineless, limp-wristed, gutless RINO ring a bell??!!
ok i’m done with that guy. McCain II.
Mitt Romney is a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread.
(and always will be....)
Romney will be a 50 state loser.
You cannot defeat Obama by agreeing with him on socialized medicine and entitlements.
If the GOP and GOP Media still continue to push Romney....real conservatives need to go elsewhere
Fixed. RINO Romney is as much a Conservative as the Sun is cold.
He is critical of Obama on issues of experience and competence, but he not on substantive issues of policy. When have we ever heard Romney complain that the government is spending too much and that spending should be cut? Never.
On the stimulus bill, he never once criticized the concept that having the government borrow and spend lots of money is a sound economic strategy. His only criticism was in the way the money was being spent.
Romney is not a fiscal conservative in any way.
Mountain Mary you go and challenge those that represent him and then leave the envelope empty. Get back to us ASAP!
Good luck getting out of there with your wallet and checkbook if you do go...and as far as Trump goes, he already talking about going independent if he doesn't win the GOP nomination. That's strange, since he was a Hillary backer a few years ago, and she's a Democrat.
Exactly what the GOP needs—a pathetic mealy-mouthed, shilly-shally artist. Guaranteed loser, this guy.
[HELP!! Should I go for the free lunch or skip it because I will never support the RINO?]
Oh, definitely go! If you want to be an evil little troublemaker, tell them you are Mormon and ask them about the Whitehorse Prophecy!
“I don’t know” should be the reply to Mitt when he asks for donations.
When baby boomers start to realize that they will have to support their parents for retirement and health needs, they might have second thoughts.
Mitt Romney = Nelson Rockefeller.
