- What may be happening here is that the 2 major wings of the Republican
- Party - the neo-conservative fundamentalist right wing, and the older
- establishment country club wing; are trying to differentiate themselves
- from the other in order to lay early claim on control of the party
- in preparation for the next presidential election.
-
- Since their convention demonstrated the stranglehold that some of the
- more extreme elements have on the GOP, an effort has been underway
- the by the moderates to establish an orginaization within the party
- that can find solutions for the countrys' ills without dragging the
- discussion down into the morass of socially divisive issues that have
- plagued them recently. Possibly this group would function the same
- as the Democrats own DLC (Democratic Leadership Council), of which Bill
- Clinton is a product. The DLC focussed the democrats onto moderate
- centrist themes of great interest to the majority of americans, rather
- than allow the divisive leftist policies of the liberal wing drag the
- party down to another presidential defeat.
