No doubt, you are right on in much of what you say. I especially agree with this part.
That is so true. But more than that, the GOP has taken a page from the Clinton play book and practiced "triangulation" where you take your opponent's positions, and make them your own. I don't mind when a socialist does that, but when a Republican takes a liberal position... I must ask "what is the purpose" other than simply to win more votes at the expense of sacrificing their principles.
This is exactly why the Republican party has the brand-identity it has at the moment; they preach one thing while doing something else.
