Pat has always been one of my favorite paleocons. He's been a good critic of the republican party through the Gingrich "revolution" of the 90's and the post 9/11 shift into a neocon's wet-dream. I would not say that there is no conservative party anymore. Rather I think that it has gotten a lot smaller and less influential. There is an overall lack of principles today on both sides of the political spectrum, which is why neither side is at all satisfied with their current leadership.
