According to Wikipedia, Romney was an independent in 1992 and voted for Paul Tsongas for President in the Democrat primary that year. He changed his affiliation to Republican in 1993 to run to the left of Ted Kennedy for U.S. Senate.
Looks like Ansel isn't making that up. And yes, his PLATFORM was conservative. But not a whole lot else about Romney himself was.
Getting people to understand many politicians are like chameleons in the way they change their platform or much worse their principles to suit the political environment they are in is a difficult task. Hillary Clinton can give Conservative speeches as could Bill in 1992. Just be darned if I’d vote for her if she changed to GOP. Also don’t just listen to what they say but also read what they say {speeches}. You’ll often catch many important things about a candidate you likely missed.
I would like to see the link because I went to Wikipedia and did not see it. Maybe someone added it. The claim he ran to the left of Ted Kennedy would be difficult to substantiate.
I don’t really care because Romney was going to get my vote vs Obama once he secured the nomination and frankly I consider it hysteria at that point to believe it was correct to allow Obama to win.
He did have a conservative platform, was he completely trustworthy I’m sure not. He’s a politician.
This guy has already seen more than enough facts and links and sources on that well known fact.
He even has Romney’s own statements, Romney admits that he voted for Tsongas, and was proud that he became an Independent and didn’t support Reagan/Bush.
