You are thinking in only one dimension again. Just because neo-conservative positions have become undefendable does not mean that it has to swing back to dubious liberal positions. Many are sick of both extremes and have come to realize the follies of an entrenched Federal govt and its ever-increasing powers. It does not mean that we all should be moderates, independents or libertarian-minded, but those have become preferred places away from the "same tired rhetoric" of blue liberals and red conservatives. I see no difference between the various stalwarts on both extremes and while arguing for a "third way" is really no better, at least it may get people thinking beyong the simpleminded red vs blue.
