On Mark Levin, Voight said he would call himself conservative before he’d say he was a Republican.

Sounds like a good Freeper to me.

I'll take you at your word. That is what Voight said to Levin. However, this is what I know. Voight is a humanitarian and was a liberal for decades. After 9-11, he came out in support of Bush`s policy in the WOT, backing the troops in Iraq. Great. He's patriot for taking that stand. He also switched parties from being a Democrat, he became a Republican. Fine.

Having said that. I don't know where Voight stands on the agenda of the conservative movement. I want to hear him explain --- does he support conserving the original intent of the Founding Fathers and promote the Constitution and our Republic form of limited government? Does he oppose higher taxation, wealth redistribution, a larger welfare bureaucracy, social engineering, abortion on demand and downsizing our military?

Lets see what he has to say about those issues.

Frankly, I don't believe calling one self a conservative, automatically makes you a conservative. Especially for someone who has been a part of ultra-liberal Hollywood for so many many years.

That's my position as well. It just so happens that the Republican party more represents my values and convictions than does the Democrat party.

Sure, there are some conservative Democrats and some liberal Republicans. However, as we saw in 2006, a vote for a Democrat, however "conservative", led to the election of two bungling fools as Majority Leader and Speaker of the House (and Stimpy Hoyer). A vote for a liberal Republican still led to the much better duo of Frist and Hastert (or at least to the possibility of something better, like perhaps McConnell and Boehner, though I'd rather have someone like Pence, Hensarling, or Gingrey).
