The Republican Party goes hard right

The Republican Party will ignore the disastrous two term presidency of George W. Bush while continuing to champion an extremist right-wing agenda (outlawing of abortion rights, tax cuts for the rich and tax raises on the middle-class, further corporate and Wall Street deregulation, privatization of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, harsh voter ID laws which will strip minorities, the impoverished of their ability to vote, further crackdown on labour unions and worker rights etc).
