There's certainly nobody in the Republican Party. All the mainstream Republican candidates want to follow in Bush's footsteps. They aren't allowed to criticize him or the war. They aren't allowed to say what they think Bush has done wrong or how they might do it better.
The thing about the Republican Party is that it is all about a particular agenda. When you vote Republican you're not voting for a man but for the agenda. The man is only a spokesman. The real decisions are made by a shadowy cabal of unelected party leaders in the back room. This is why Bush was such a great candidate for them, a man with no political ideas or agenda of his own, who would just read what they put in front of him. Giuliani and Romney and Huckabee and McCain are not campaigning to be -president-, but to be the spokesmodel for this same cabal. You can't expect them to change anything.
In fact, it's this party leadership, not the voters, who will decide who gets the nomination, through directing campaign funds and other backstage manipulation. It will be whoever they trust most with the agenda. In 2000, McCain got ahead of Bush so they -slimed- him. They'll do this to Ron Paul if he gets too far ahead in the polls. Notice how different McCain sounds in -this- election!
When you say 'the right', -real- conservatism is respectable, but today we call this 'paleo-conservatism' as if we were talking about some long-extinct species. Conservatism since Reagan hasn't really been conservative at all.

Yes, I see no person running that will change anything, they are all Rich people that see only with the wisdom of money. How can a Rich person solve a problem that has never had a problem with all their money? You must understand a problem before you can solve one. Why crime is high is because children are allowed to quit schools that teach knowledge of profit, to end up in the schools on the streets learning how to do things the wrong way. Driving up the cost of insurance and costing tax payers millions for welfare and to build jails for them when they grow up. It is not the right wing or the left that is the problem, it is the wisdom of the leaders that are being offered to pick from!

No one can undo the damage. We need someone to change the way things are done though, and if you limit me to the right I would say Huckabee.

Any damage can be undone with a lot of hard work and effort, BUT the trick is to not do more damage while undoing the previous damage. Let's just hope we don't get some lunkhead in office that does just that. This next presidential election is gonna be a SKEERYYYYYYYY OOOOOOOOOOONE!

Yes. It will take some years because of the almost 8 years of mismanagement of government and I think Romney is the man for the job.
