The GOP has pushed as far as it can with what it has run on: tax and budget cuts and glorify success...

So the problem is that primaries are for registered Republicans only.

And yeah I agree the Democrats are more conservative now. Obama had one of the most liberal voting records but once in he hasn't done anything different to Bush. More war, more Guantanamo, more bailouts, same disregard for civil liberties, no tax increases etc.

Those aren't conservative policies. Bush wasn't a conservative.

More towards Bush then. American politics is contesting a very small ideological space these days.
