If Romney wins the nomination and wins the Presidency, the US Republican Party will become just like Canadian Conservative Party. It will shove aside virtually all social conservative positions, it will embrace high taxation as a means to tackle the deficit, it will endorse “stimulus” spending and full-scale public/socialist health care. It may still be pro-Israel and pro-military, but it will otherwise be indistinguishable from the Dems in terms of issues like abortion, homosexual “marriage”, corporate subsidies. illegal immigration, entitlements and the general growth of government. Our Conservative Party is about a 5.5 on the liberal-conservative continuum, with the Liberal Party a 4.0 and the NDP a 3.0. Right now, your GOP House Caucus is about an 7.5 and the GOP Senate Caucus about a 6.5. The choice of your Presidential nominee will determine whether those numbers continue to slide toward liberalism or whether the GOP will become a conservative party.

Interesting stats L.Harbour....thanks...and interesting post...If romeny gets it the social issues will simply slide into the liberal mode ..I believe that...it's not a big step toward that now.
