a conservative Republican (who, probably unfairly, I automatically decide are all Right Wingers.)
There's nothing regarding it on his radio home page, but this is from Wiki;
Schultz's political views leaned towards the right during the early years, and Schultz told the Los Angeles Times that he "lined up with the Republicans because they were anti-tax, and I wanted to make a lot of money...." Schultz pondered a run as a Republican for the U.S. House of Representatives against Democratic Rep. Earl Pomeroy in 1994, but decided against it after visiting with state Republican leaders
Political views
Schultz currently considers himself a "progressive liberal" and a "progressive independent" <7> His talk show is generally considered to be a very liberal-leaning program.
He is pro-union and centers a large portion of his radio show on the "plight of working class Americans".
Evolution of political views
In the late 1990s, several events occurred which he said changed his political leanings to a more liberal, progressive understanding. One was his mother's (a former educator) battle with Alzheimer's Disease which began a long, slow decline of her mental health. Schultz found it frustrating trying to get her the services that she needed. The other was that he met a psychiatric nurse named Wendy who ran a homeless shelter in Fargo. He attributed much of his political change to her, and although he had frequently made fun of the homeless on his show, he said in his book that she helped to humanize them. To his surprise, he found that some of the people he had insulted were veterans, and many were unable to get the psychiatric or medical services that might help them. He says that was the moment he began to look at poverty differently. (Schultz 9-10) In June 1998, they were married, the second marriage for each.
He became a Democrat in 2000 marking the formal turn in his politics from Republican conservative to progressive. He went out to do radio promotions in rural North Dakota, and told reporters about how he met farmers who were suffering and hard-working people who were going hungry, even though Republicans said the economy was doing fine. (Vowell 2004) He began to hold benefits to raise money for people in the heartland who were going through tough times. (Winter 2002) In addition, he began questioning some of the assertions of George W. Bush; although he supported several Republican candidates in the 2000 election, he was becoming critical of other Republicans. Schultz considered running for the Democratic-NPL party nomination for governor against incumbent Republican John Hoeven in 2004, but decided to continue his career in radio. After North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan's retirement decision was made public on January 5, 2010, Schultz was reportedly asked by a leading state Democrat to consider running for the seat. <8>
