(V): I can understand the awkward juggling act the Republicans are attempting to a certain degree.With population trends as they are, they will be unelectable in another 10 years or less, so they are trying to cater to both the loony tunes fringe and the center just to survive.The problem is long time Republicans and centerists are shaking their heads in dismay.I see a 3rd party emerging for the birther/tea party factions, but it will only make it worse by splitting the right wing vote, much like our Liberal party has lost it's way by losing voters to the NDP.Our Progressive Conservative party was in that same position till it joined the (more conservative) Reform party.Many Liberals in Canada now see their only chance at regaining power is by joining our NDP (labour party)If it happens, our Conservative Party is probably in big trouble in regards to being elected.
