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.

That may be. Real old school republicans are more like modern libertarians. Regan sold them out to the religious right to win elections but even they are starting to turn their backs on the republican party.
Right now the republican party is fractured. There are the people who want to go back to the hardcore religious stuff and those that want to ditch that and just focus on taxes, financial responsibility and more personal liberty. The test will be if those people can wrestle enough power from the religious right to actually do some good.
