Frankly, the Bush's hammered home to me what has become patently obvious.

 "Republican" is a brand now, not a specific set of principles or beliefs.

While Republicans commonly hold some Chinese Dinner menu grab of Conservative beliefs (one from column A, one from Column B, with six you get egg roll), they are not necessarily aligned with conservative principles many of us might regard as fundamental, and often are considered "conservative" only in comparison to those they are running against, a sort of 'conservative relativism' that has hurt "conservative" as a descriptive term as well.
That doesn't even include those who 'self-identify' as conservatives, and then proceed to endorse liberal talking points.

Well said!  There is an epidemic of it and we need to be fully aware of it when we vote in the primaries.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
