We don't have party registration in Texas. These days I'm sure he votes mostly Republican, unless there are moderate Democrats around. He's probably an American patriot but not a radical right wing.
My understanding from his previous statements is that he used to be a Texas Democrat but along the way he has voted for the best candidate, and that would be mostly Republicans of late.
What do people do, just declare themselves Republicans or Democrats?
I do believe when I saw him in San Francisco in Sept that he mentioned that he is/was a Democrat when questioned on his partiality.
Of course the whole Swift Vet thing was nonpartisan, they just wanted the truth to come out about Kerry.
I am sure he has voted conservatively for quite some time.
The speaker with him, Buzz Patterson, who worked in the Clinton Administration in the 90's and carried the Nuclear Football was a Democrat.
His book, Dereliction of Duty is a great one too.
Conservative? I doubt it. He repeatedly said he would have voted for Edwards, the fourth most liberal in the Senate who is a trial lawyer and ran on a class warfare theme. Doesn't sound conservative at all.
Nevertheless, as a conservative, I feel indebted to him.
