Uh, no. Man cheated on his wife with a staffer skank, then divorced his wife for the skank. Remember at the 1994 Republican state convention that he told the audience his youngest child was home sick. She was actually at work working an anti-Grams button because of how he screwed over her mother. Grams also couldn't think his way out of a paper work, ignomiously winning the "Dumbest Politician in Washington" award (think it was from the Washington Monthly), and then losing to Mark Dayton.
Sorry the man died, particularly from the ravages of cancer, but he's no "TRUE conservative."
Um he was politically conservative, genius.
You aren’t his judge for his extremely common personal failings which have nothing to do with being “conservative” or not.
