Foster was old school down on the bayou.....Funny how many Republicans cite him as a favorite when he was just a Democrat in sheep's clothing.

Democrat in sheep's clothing?

Not even remotely close to being true.

Like, so far away from actual facts it's laughable.

People say ignorant stuff like that because Foster was a Blue Dog Democrat before joing the GOP during the 1995 campaigh.

Meanwhile they leave out the fact that mid 90s Blue Dog Democrats were MORE CONSERVATIVE than most of today's RINOs we have in state politics.

While I overall liked Gov Foster, didn’t he back and endorse the Stelly Income Tax increase plan?

The same one that got repealed partially under Democrat Blanco and then finished off with the Shaw Bill under Jindal.

I consider Mike Foster the best Governor in my lifetime. That said, let us not forget that he WAS a Democrat up until 1995 so he wasa Democrat for way longer than he was ever a Republican. He switched parties to run.
