Romney's contributions to Dems came at a time when he was a registered Independent, and even voted for Paul Tsongas in the 1992 primaries. Indeed, his contributions at the time suggest that he was drifting away from the GOP. In addition to his giving to the Dems, his donations to Republicans had all but ceased. Romney had routinely made donations of $1,000 or more to the Massachusetts Republican State Committee throughout the 1980's, but did not make any donations to them in 1990, 1991 or 1992.
Only two years later, however, Romney veered back to the GOP, unsuccessfully running for the Senate in 1994 against Ted Kennedy as a Republican.
...and his wife donated to Planned Parenthood!
How is this slimy Masshole the frontrunner???
Not really relevant, imo.
Business gives to whomever is in power, and some to whomever is not in power. It’s not a philisophical thing, it’s business.
Given that Mitt Romney personally gave these donations - I agree. With Mitt, there is nothing philosophical about his political activities - it's just business.
maybe because ricky s was praising dems and newt was sitting on the couch with em and hugging em...
Perry was in charge of Gore’s campaign in Texas in 1988. He was a Democrat as was Reagan at one time.
Romney didn’t start out as a Democrat. He started out as a Republican. Spin that one for me.
Very practical minded, that man. :)
This guy is a big government liberal! Were he to win he’d take us down the same road Obama is traveling...only he’d walk instead of run.
Can you say “Trojan horse” Mitt???
Was it Romney’s idea to run as a Republican or the DNC’s idea?
And Ronald Reagan used to be a Democrat.
So the point is...?
Reagan was a Democrat in a different time in American history, generations ago. Reagan was campaigning for Republicans in every Presidential election after 1948, and formally switched party registration in 1962.
Romney left the Republican party because Reagan was elected President, spin that one.
I hope we all know that Mitt was fund raising for Planned Parenthood AFTER he reregistered Republican.
He could switch affiliation tomorrow and never blink.
I will ONLY vote for someone who also has a conservative spouse.
TPM will give us the answers we need! /sarc
This is a totally unfair, not to mention impossible, charge. How could Romney drift away from the GOP when he has never been remotely close to conservatism? The best he has ever done was to occasionally read a few insincere words in a speech - before going back to push for an expanded government role in every aspect of our lives.
In 1992 Tsongas was the most centrist Democrat in the field. Even conservatives like Robert Novak were supporting Tsongas over a very liberal field that included Bill Clinton and Tom Harkin. Tsongas was much like Joe Lieberman ideologically.
