they’re just RINO....
We have a lot of old Dems in this area that are more Conservative than Republicans, they just have had the label so long it stuck with him. I don’t know if he is a RINO on issues.. I’ll do some digging into his record.
Many Texas’s D’s are more conservative than many National R’s!
He doesn’t seem to be a die hard Conservative, more of a populist. He does seem to be to the right of McCain on several issues and he is for the Voter ID laws, something most Dems here oppose. Overall, he seems to be a localist/populist.
