Mitt Romney was opposed to best conservative politics in the last 30 years: he was against President Reagan politics in the 80ies and against the Republican Congress majority politics and the Contract with America in the 90ies.
Romney had been a lifelong independent before he decided to run for Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat in Massachusetts in 1994, the Boston Globe reported at the time.
After Romney entered the 1994 Senate race, his wife Ann said: “We didn’t know a single Republican when we jumped in.”
When House Speaker Newt Gingrich was promoting his “Contract with America” in 1994, Romney “had not read the document and had no plans to support it,” the Boston Globe reported.
Brent Bozell’s Conservative Victory Committee said that Romney in 1994 “was running away from conservative Republican themes and espousing a left-wing agenda.”
David Broder observed during the 1994 Senate campaign: “Eager to show that he is a moderate independent and no ideologue, Romney stressed his support for universal health insurance and abortion rights, criticized the Republican ‘Contract with America,’ and was more outspoken than Kennedy in arguing that the Boy Scouts should not exclude homosexual youths.”
Romney donated to the 1992 campaign of U.S. Rep. Dick Swett, a New Hampshire Democrat; Rep. John LaFalce, a New York Democrat; and Democrat Doug Anderson, who was running for the Senate from Utah.
Right ON Marguerite! he has a terrible record and he has not done anything to advance the conservative cause but now he is the “GOD of Conservatism”. The sheep are lining up behind him as he leads us to the slaughter
