Rock And A Hard Place

The Republican Party is caught between Scylla and Charybdis. On the one side is the beast they have fed for so many years, the religious right. On the other is the more traditional libertarian, Rockefeller/Goldwater sort who continue in their fiscal conservativism yet are not so keen on conservative social issues.

This great divide will not be easily forded. It would seem the Party is headed for what was always considered a Democratic predicament, that of infighting. Oh to be sure this does not signal a united opposition from the Democrats, but maybe now the Republicans will finally get a taste of the more unseemly public battles once reserved only for the Democrats. I hope I can contain my glee.
