I guess what I'm asking is whether you believed the GOP was ever a rightwing party.

Ever? Possibly, but I haven't looked that far back. They've been sellouts to business and 'other' interests for as long as I remember.

I think the further back you go, the less rightwing it gets. At the beginning, it was a party run in the interest of northern banking interests.
