The idea that traditional conservatives are trying to impose a "theocracy" is nonsense. Theo-con is just a smear term created by PC conservatives. You know, the type of conservative whose main goal in life is to be patted on the back by liberals and praised for being able to "grow" and show "nuance".
We hear this nonsense all the time. "Gee, the Republicans are gonna lose voters unless they move to the left on [abortion, evolution, gay issues, school prayer, guns....just fill in the blank]."
Then explain the situation in Kansas.

The republican party has already moved to the left on all fiscal issues. How many spending bills has Bush vetoed?
The GOP is now a fiscal liberal/social conservative party. Fiscal liberal meaning spending money on every program in sight - social conservative meaning "morality police" and establishing a theocracy.
Without the war on terror, I doubt the GOP would get more than 45% of the national vote.
