I've always found it interesting how many on the Left seem to want the GOP to cease to be Rightist in any meaningful way and become Leftist just like them, and they will parade centrist and Left-of-Centre Republicans around to try to make their case. Sometimes they even pretend like they would be saddened to see the GOP (of course, those are just crocodile tears) and if only the GOP would become more like the Democrats, then they would be saved!

I, as a Rightist, am, for one, happy to see some sort of revival of Rightism in the GOP considering the direction it has gone since the peak of the post-war Conservative Movement in the 1960s and 1970s. I think there are problems with the current movements, but it is better than nothing. I always found it amazing how people could claim Bush was some sort of ultraconservative when in fact his politics represent a major shift of the Republican Party to the Left over the years. His "compassionate conservatism" was nothing more than veiled neoconservatism which itself is nothing but a special form of progressivism.
