Not conservative enough to be a conservative activist. He supported socialist economic policies, I believe, and besides supporting the SDI, I am not aware of him supporting Reagan. He did run for president in the 1980s, after all.

He ran in 1976 as the candidate of the U.S. Labor Party. In 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000 he entered (and lost) the [[Democratic Party]] primary, then ran as an [[independent candidate]] in the general election. In 2004 he again entered the Democratic primary, but did not run as an independent and endorsed [[John Kerry]] in the general election. The Democratic Party does not recognize LaRouche as a Democratic candidate{{fact}} and does not grant credentials to his delegates, although he typically wins a handful of delegates in some state primaries.{{fact}} In the 1980 election season he participated in [[New Hampshire]] Democratic primary debates. His presidential campaigns were notorious in the 1980, 1984, and 1988 elections for his use of FDR's "economic royalist" rhetoric and running half-hour paid advertisements on [[television]] forecasting imminent economic collapse unless he was elected and his [[radical]] [[Socialist]] agenda enacted.
