Ron Paul: Er, I don't know if I could support Romney

Republican presidential hopeful Rep. Ron Paul is hesitant to pledge his support for Mitt Romney if the former Massachusetts governor secured the GOP's nomination for president. As an anti-war candidate, Paul cited Romney's foreign policy as the biggest roadblock:

“I’d talk to him and see what kind of a foreign policy he is going to have,” Paul told reporters Thursday. “Mitt’s a friend and we talk a lot. We just disagree on the issues.”

Paul hit strongly on his anti-war theme while speaking to about 1,000 people at the University of Missouri’s flagship campus. Romney and Santorum also campaigned in Missouri this week.

Paul shied away from naming any of his rivals but suggested they all want to plunge the U.S. deeper into military conflicts in the Middle East.

“They’re just itching, the other candidates are saying, ‘When are we going to go get Syria? Why don’t we start dropping bombs on Syria? When are we going to hit Iran?’” Paul said. “The Republicans are going to be in trouble unless they come our way and decide they want a president who’s more for peace than for war.”

He later added: “If you keep voting for warmongers, yes, this is going to be very negative.”
