Another GOP Sex Scandal? No, actually, just more proof of how far the Republican presidential candidate has flipped and flopped over the years, having donated to several "solidly liberal" Democratic candidates in the past.Willard Mitt Romney donated $250 in 1992 to then-U.S. Rep. Dick Swett's (D.-N.H.) successful re-election campaign. The one-term congressman served another term before losing to Republican Charles Bass in 1994.
In 1992, the former Massachusetts governor and current Republican presidential contender also donated $250 to Rep. John J. La Falce (D.-N.Y.) and $1,000 to Douglas Delano Anderson, an unsuccessful Democratic primary candidate for the U.S. Senate seat held by Utah Republican Jake Garn, who retired that year.
The two Democratic House members who Romney funded were solidly liberal. For 1992, Rep. Swett had a 32 rating (out of 100) from the American Conservative Union and an 85 from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action. That year, LaFalce scored a 12 ACU rating and a Swett-like 85 from the ADA.
Campaign spokesman Kevin Madden said "I think he was friendly with Dick Swett." File that little tidbit under "too much information".
He's got balls
