Robert Taft's ghost is nowhere to be found

I get that many Dems (and Indies for that matter) backed that horrible war at the time. We all remember the battle that went on within the party. But the Republicans have never reconsidered their position that attacking a country that had not attacked us was a righteous thing to do. The modern GOP is a war party and has been for decades. I wish I could understand why so many people persist in the belief that because Rand Paul and three libertarians in the House are isolationist that means the GOP is changing. No, it just means that libertarians care more about taxes than they do about war.
