Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, issued a campaign statement from his spokesman criticizing former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., for refusing to endorse the union reform efforts of Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio.
“Mitt Romney’s finger-in-the-wind politics continued today when he refused to support right-to-work reforms signed by Ohio Governor John Kasich – reforms Romney supported in June,” Perry communications director Ray Sullivan said today in a statement.
Romney attended a phone bank held by advocates of Kasich’s union legislation, which faces a ballot referendum next month. Though in attendance, Romney refused to endorse the measures. “Americans are tired of politicians who change their beliefs to match public opinion polls,” Sullivan added. “Mitt Romney has a long record of doing this on issues like government-mandated health care and the Obama stimulus.”
“Mitt Romney needs to realize that when you try to stand on both sides of an issue, you stand for nothing,” Sullivan concluded.
