Sounds like Brer Rabbit to me. If the GOP moves to the center, esp on fiscal
and defense matters, you can just say whig. On the other hand I don't think
the "values" issues are a real winner for the party of Lincoln.

It's a real Morton's Fork for the GOP. If the party stays far to the
right, where it is now, or moves further to the right, it will isolate
itself further from the majority of voters and the mainstream of
political thought. If it moves to the center, it risks losing some
support from the hardliners, but it might gain support from the
so-called RINOs and independents. But the latter would drive the
hardliners even crazier.

Fun, fun, fun.
