Would Alex be a RINO today?


Given the rise of the Tea Party, would Alex be considered too liberal for today's party?

reply

No. What about Alex do you consider "too liberal"?

As Alex continued to mature through his 20s and 30s , he would become a libertarian . They are known for being fiscally conservative , pro small government and also socially open minded .

Alex would have moved over to the Democrats--and been fiscally conservative moderate.

They never had a family ties episode where he was protesting abortion clinics or demanding the defunding of planned parenthood.

He had a picture of Richard Nixon who supported Affirmative Action, Title IX. the EPA and public funding of birth control

Was Nixon perfect, hardly--but when you look at what GOP of today wants.
