Well, first of all it's important to note that the GOP was always pro-business. It was the party of industry from the day of its birth; even in the Nineteenth Century, the Republicans hugely outspent the Democrats.
The Democrats got a lock on "liberalism" during the New Deal. The GOP offered a more restrained version of that until Goldwater, so I guess you could say both parties were relatively liberal during that period.
