Depends on which TR you mean.

If you mean the TR that was actually in office, definitely Republican.

If you mean the TR that was trying to get back into office, definitely Democratic.

Republican or Constitution or Democrat; whichever one was bombing non-white people at that point in time. During Libya, he'd be a Democrat; during Iraq, he'd be a Republican.

Too hard to tell, though I'm leaning Democrats. Upper class elitist New York aristocrat, "prudish" on social policies, big on things like regulation, but also a first class nationalist in every aspect of the word. Maybe a liberal Republican from the North-East? That or some strange Democrat out of step with the party on a number of issues. The man was made for the days of big-tent parties. Back in his time, you could be of practically any ideology you wanted and fit in with either camp depending on where you lived. In today's time? The man would be an authoritarian Ron Paul or something like that.

Republican. He'd sound a lot like Rudy Giuliani.

That implies Democrats today aren't hawks.

True, it's pretty sad that a majority of Senate Democrats voted for the Iraq war. One of many reasons why I think I'll be abstaining on this year's Senate race.

TR's version of conservation has a very character than the green movement.

TR was a Republican, and even if the parties have "switched places", I'd like to think that he'd still be a Republican.

Basically this, but he'd have his own strand/creed within the Greens.
