Why is the United States so far right-wing?

I'm saying Obama so far is so like Bush on all of the important things that he probably could have been Bush's successor. I'm saying that Republicans fail to acknowledge that. And I'm saying that they won't until the distant history, when there's no longer any political leverage to be lost by admitting the guy they tried to hang (Obama) was basically the same as the guy who was their guy (Bush). 

So, so true.

I'm actually registered Republican, but I believe this fact reflects badly on Bush rather than painting Obama in a positive light (then again, Bush did pretty well reflecting badly on HIMSELF).

Either way, both Democrats and Republicans seem oblivious, at large, to how similar the two parties are.
