...as she ponders what evil genius forces Repubs to take positions that are clearly unpopular with the majority of voters and will even cost them elections, in the immediate term....that their long-range strategy,and these people ONLY think long-range, regardless of the elections they might lose, is to move the American center further and further to the Right...which they have succeeded in doing, marvelously well.

It isn't about winning elections in the present, with them...it's about dragging the Left, such as it is, or even the Moderates, further and further to the Right, so that the all-important center BECOMES the Right...and they become the Extreme Right..and it doesn't matter that they don't win as extremists, that's not their goal....but pulling the rest of the country, the Whites especially, further and further to the Right, THAT'S their "politics" these days, not winning elections.

They have in Obama a slightly moderate Republican...as they had in Clinton. These presidents aren't even close to the Left, as Democrats once were...and that's a testament to the effectiveness of this grand Republican strategy....as they move farther and farther to the Right they managed to drag Obama with them till even he is right of center, as measured even only ten years ago....

There isn't a single Democratic position Obama has taken...not one...and yet he is seen by his moderate to liberal fans as THEIR champion...when he is anything but. The Right is now SO extreme that Obama begins to look "good" and "liberal"...and THAT has been their grand strategy....screw the ELECTIONS...what do they matter when BOTH sides are now right of center?
