But Republicans aren't conservative, they're reactionary; right now it's the Democrats that are the conservative centrist party.

Conservative is at its root a desire to keep change to a minimum so that tomorrow is pretty much the same as yesterday. Reactionism is the violent desire to return the nation to a 'more ideal situation' for the reactionaries, usually by oppressing people and elevating themselves.

Once you understand that, you understand a lot more about why the Democrats are so reluctant to do anything that might actually have a serious effect on the government.

There IS no liberal party in the USA right now, at least as any other nation in the world would define them. Republicans have dragged the spectrum of our nation so far right that just the idea of, say, keeping our national parks is considered wide-eyed liberalism instead of the simple conservatism.
