Or maybe real Republicans are finally growing a brain and trying to take their party back. I can't stand the current Republican party, but if the "old school" conservatives came back I'd support it.
Meaning pre Ronald Regan Republicans whom were not closet case Religious Right or Neo Conservatives, but "real" physical Conservatives. However those guys seem to have long ago left the current Republican party for the Libertarians.
