Question: at the end of season 2, Joffrey decides to wed the Tyrell girl….why didn’t the Lannister’s hold against her the fact that she had previously been with the “traitor” Renly Baratheon….that was never even mentioned. Why?

They needed the Tyrell money and support for the Battle of the Blackwater. They didn't really have a choice.

It was a political alignment during war time. Standard feudalism stuff

This is like if the Jets asked Aaron rodgers why he rooted for the packers all those years when he played for Green Bay

Like the others said, it was for the Money. The Lannister's source of wealth for hundreds of years were their gold mines and they went dry. They needed to ally themselves with the Tyrell's because they were the richest from their fertile farm lands.
