Vote Unto Caesar That Which is Caesar's?

Mitt Romney on strategic voting:
--Romney was not even a Republican as recently as 14 years ago? And now he wants to be their nationwide standard bearer? Somehow I suspect other Republican candidates will not hesitate to broadcast that paradox as the campaign accelerates
--Is this the "Christian" theory of voting? Falsely (not fraudulently, but falsely) posing as something you're not (i.e., a Democrat) and then casting a vote not for someone you support, but for someone you oppose? Since when are duplicity and conniving "Christian" virtues? With which Biblical character do we most associate those traits?
In Massachusetts, if you register as an Independent, you can vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary.Two hasty stitches:
When there was no real contest in the Republican primary, I'd vote in the Democrat primary, vote for the person who I thought would be the weakest opponent for Republican. In the general election.
...
I go in their primary, just like a lot of other folks, and voted against the person who I thought was the strongest Democrat.
