I don't know that I would call Flake a "Republican" just because that's his story and he's stickin' to it. He's what we used to call a RINO, what they now call an "establishment republican" to differentiate them from the Republicans of 20 or 30 years ago. He's no more a Conservative than McCain is. I tend to think of them as being in the Socialist wing of the Republican Party.
In all honesty, the Republican Party has changed and flip-flopped political direction so many times over the years that the label is all but meaningless as an indicator of political orientation.
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
