I'm getting quite confused over the churning of politics in the US. Looking back 15-20 years, your average Republican, both politician and declared voter would have been fully in favour of competition, while the Democrats would have been in favour of managed monopolies/oligopolies.
Where have all the centre right Republicans gone? Now it seems they're all limited issue campaigners: tea-partiers, extreme religious right, gun lobby. Has the huge majority of the traditional Republican electorate just been summarily disenfranchised by this lurch to the extreme of the political spectrum? Or have they been carried along with it, and now there is a vacuum where there is actually nobody still existant in the traditional centre right?
