TR is whom I was refering to in the last post. His progressivism was something I will always look up to, although, he rose to power through assasination. If it wasn't for a couple of bullets at Pan American expedition there probably would have been no TR in the presidency, who knows.

Barring Warren Harding, who was one of the most corrupt presidents we ever had, the tradition of the Republican party was that of penny pinching, hard working, entepernurial types looking for good leadership. I'm afraid this tradition has been killed by corporatism, as it has killed many of the ideals of the Democratic party, just in different ways. The take it all mentality of GW Bush is not grounded enough for traditional Republican values. But one value remains steafastly attached to the Republican party, and that's blind loyalty. Sometimes I think the Republican symbol should be a donkey, not an Elephant, being that most Repulicans are so damned stubborn.
