I am fascinated by Mitt Romney's saying he was an Independent when Reagan was elected in 1980 and 1984.

What does he mean by that?

Does he mean he did not go to any of the Republican Party Meetings in support of Reagan and Bush at that time?

If he did go to the meetings did he abstain from supporting either Reagan or Bush.

If he did not participate, then why did he not participate?

He now wants the Republican Party Nomination for 2012--------when did he decide to align with the Republican Party and stop being Independent? Is Romney still an Independent?

There was a small group of nay sayers who were anti the mainstream social issues that the Republican Party along with Reagan put in its Party Platform in 1980. As I recall, it was Margaret Chase Smith who was leading that group------which did not identify with Reagan and the rest of the Republican Party.
