I've been saying on many threads now that the GOP has changed in the last decade and gone very far right. How so? The only policy I can see that might possibly fit that claim would be the invasion of Iraq. Well maybe some of the security rules after 9/11 (but then the push to federalize airport security largely came from the left). Generally the GOP has been moving to the left not the right. It was Bush that pushed Medicare Part D, and greatly expanded federal government spending on education and other social programs. As for social conservatism, the Republicans have been mostly all talk and no policy. In terms of policy there really hasn't been any significant rightward move, more the opposite. I can see being disappointed in Bush and in many Republicans in congress, I can even see that affected your vote and figuring it was time to give the Dems a chance; but I don't see how the disappointment can rationally be based on the idea of some strong rightward move.
