Tory Democrat

A Tory Democrat, as I understand the term, is someone who supports traditional institutions, centralized government and concern for the less fortunate. Examples are Benjamin Disraeli and Winston Churchill.

Can you explain how Rick Perry could be called a Tory Democrat?

Like Bob Bullock, or Allan Shivers, Governor back in the ‘50s, who supported IKE. Basically a business-oriented Democrat.
