I thought it was common knowledge that he gave money and an endorsement to Al "Gosh darn it - People Like Me! " Franken. He has advocated increasing taxation on the wealthy. Ben Stein has often spoken of his anti-gun views. That is not a Conservative!
He is a liberal Northeast Rockefeller Republican, what we now call a RINO.
Just for the record, from the FEC database.
