Romney is not a true Republican because he voted for Paul Tsongas.

 

First a clarification. Romney voted for George H. Bush in the General (final) election, but he voted for Paul Tsongas in the primaries.

 

Reasons to disagree

  1. Romney was a good republican because he was very practical. In 1992 there was no Republican primary. He had two options. He could sit on the side lines and not vote (like me this last election cycle) or he could vote for the best candidate who would not likely beat Bush in the General election. Romney chose the latter. This does not make him a bad republican.
  2. Paul Tsongas was a fiscal conservative.
  3. Paul Tsongas was a good guy.
  4. I wish every Republican would have registered as independents in 1992 and voted for Paul Tsongus. Bush would have lost anyways, but we would have had Tsongus instead of Clinton. And now Hillary Clinton. Maybe George H. Bush would have one against Paul Tsongus. Two descent guys, that had nothing to do with Hollywood instead of Bill going against H. Bush in 1992.
  5. Maybe Republicans should all claim independent, so that we can vote for Hillary in the Primaries and our guys in the General election.
  6. There was no GOP primary contest in 92. In 1992 Mitt Romney voted against Bill Clinton twice.
  7. I am a Romney fan, but not even I think Romney was smart enough to see that Bill Clinton was a bigger liability than George H. Bush was an asset for our Country. I am not going to attribute Mitt Romney of difficult political calculus. This was very basic addition. Vote once for the guy you like best, or vote twice? Hmm, let me see…

 

Reasons to agree

  1. A good republican would never vote for a Democrat.
  2. A vote for a Democrat is a vote for the Devil himself. D is for Devil. Even if it is the just the primary and you vote for George H. Bush (like Romney) in the General election.
