Although I wouldn't say it's a complete switcheroo today with the Dems & Reps, it seems that the Reps are more intune with the middle and lower classes and the Dems are intune with big bucks interests. The population may not understand it but these things take time. Maybe Bush knows this and is leaving his legacy to this whether good or bad. Bush is only part of a larger flow imo.

The current Republicans are much closer to their original roots; they were the original American socialist party upon their founding. They favored the merchantilist form of government; merchantilism is nothing more than what we term fascism today. It is the merger of the corporation with the state; tossing real capitalism in the trash and using political muscle to crush competition, and to use taxes to fund corporate welfare and social programs.
The entire Bush family are and have been socialist/merchantilist/fascist for more than 100 years. G. W. Bush is a close echo of his grandfather who favored, among other socialist ideologies, euthanasia and forced sterilization of undesirables. The little acorn didn't fall too far from that tree.
