That was bound to happen. The Republicans went further right after their loss in the last election. Instead of going centric, now they are going harder towards family values.
But honestly, what else can they do? The media is reporting that the economy is getting better. Holiday spending is up 11% over last year. Bailout money is being paid back, with interest. The Democrats are going to get the headlines for these things, whether they deserve them or not.
So Republicans can't complain about the economy, so now they are going to hit "family values" harder. Thats where libertarians and independants don't see eye to eye with them at.
