Why is this news? The GOP has long ago sold its soul to the neocons and now they are wondering why the party faithful are dissatisfied with the presidential candidates for 2008. It’s not rocket science. The GOP has strayed from its principals to court a new "base" of far right fundamentalists and neocon business types. The party of Lincoln is long dead and yet people still wonder where it went?
When Regan entered the White House the change started. The GOP became a party of more and more extreme right-wing ideologues. By pandering to the Christian fundamentalists and focusing solely on God Guns and Gays, they left their principals behind in favor of expedient political alignments. The days of fiscally conservative Republicans ended with the election of George W. Bush. Spending has exploded and it’s all going into the pockets of the businesses that got him elected. From the party of cautious fiscal policy the GOP has become the party of big pork and corruption. No wonder GOP voters feel they have no choices, they don’t!
