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.
I agree. I've always called myself an Independent. I support whatever agrees with the Constitution, and I'm a Patriot. Whatever that falls under, that's what I am.
