He's in the more "right wing" party in France, but he's hardly a rightie, at least in American terms. His policies are closer to those of the Democrats (indeed to the left of many Democrats). Chirac is right of center.....always has been. He only looks left to the GOP because that party has been hijacked by the evangelicals and moved farther right than has been typical. However, the gap between Chirac and say a GOP moderate like Arnold is very small. The GOP evangelicals are closer to the conservatives of a third world country where democracy is tentative at best. The rest of us keeping hoping the moderate GOPers will prevail but that does not look likely.
