He was born in 1930, though, so it's hard to say that he shares much in common with the ideology we call republican today.

While I think it's good to make a point that the republican party was very different in the early decades of the previous century, I'm not sure being born in the 1930 is the right cutoff for that. Mitch McConnell, one of the major faces of the current Republican party, was born only a decade later.
