um, he was a conservative democrat -- there are a few of them in the South,
and many are more conservative than moderate GOPers.  

I'm told when he was in the House as a Dem, he would lead to the
Republicans what the Dems tax-and-spend plans were so they could try and
thwart 'em.   As he put it, he was a conservative "before it was cool to be
conservative."
