Some members of the Republican Party are fearful of recognizing the truth. These "establishment" republicans believe all of the rhetoric that if they lean too far to the right the voters will run to Obama and the democrats. They believe that the independents want nothing to do with the right-left political spectrum, and are just looking for a bunch of moderates that have no position, no ideology, no plan other than to try to make everyone happy through non-confrontational politics.
