Oct 17 - Romney Speaks to Republican Jewish Coalition


Governor Mitt Romney addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition this afternoon, pushing for stronger international organizations as well as calling for the United States to pull out of the UN Human Rights Council.

Romney spoke extensively on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as his usual stump subject of the "threat of violent, radical Jihad." Romney tried to tie the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with past wars, saying that "there is only one way we can lose. And that is if we as a civilized world, becomes deniers."


After a follow up, Romney said that while there are those who say they wouldn’t vote for a Mormon candidate, polls also showed some people wouldn’t vote for a candidate over 70 and others who wouldn’t vote for someone who had been divorced many times, but that "those things are at their mind. At the front of their mind, they want to know who can lead America."
