George Will and Bush Republicanism

He hits the nail right on the head:
Treasury Secretary Paulson, asked about conservative complaints that his rescue program amounts to socialism, said, essentially: This is not socialism, this is necessary. That non sequitur might be politically necessary, but remember that government control of capital is government control of capitalism.

It's worth noting that this socialism has also come to power with attacks on the separation of church and state.
