The political landscape in America over the past several decades can be explained simply through the lens of the Hegelian Dialectic.
Thesis (Liberal Agenda) Anti Thesis(Republican politicians) Synthesis(Liberals along with RINOS pass statist agenda).
This is why the establishment Republicans fight tooth and nail for candidates like Mike Castle, Lisa Murkowski and John McCain; they are the ones who will help deliver the synthesis in the name of compromise which in the end strips us of more and more of our liberties.
The last thing the GOP leadership needs are more Conservatives who will make it much more difficult for them to hide their true intentions, greed, power and ideology.(Attacks on Demint perfect example).
As long as McConnell, Cornyn and Boehner have enough RINOS around they can pose as phony Conservatives while blaming the so called mavericks for voting along liberal lines.( They do this through a RINO voting rotation).
Notice that over the years you hear very little of suspended or pulled chairmanships from those who vote in direct opposition to the Constitution, constituents and party leadership on major pieces of legislation.
No, in fact during the primaries, these are the same politicians that the leadership in many cases pour millions of dollars along with other resources to defeat the same type of Conservatives they claim to be.
In many ways, I believe since Bush 41, we have had a one party system, that acts out this process over and over again stripping Americans of more and more of their liberties and freedoms while claiming compromise and moderation.
Please take a look at the link I think they do a much better job of explaining the slow process of spreading the statist agenda.

A variant on the Hegelian dialectic is Lenin’s dictum. Two steps forward, one step back. Thus even in retreat they have won because it is only a half step back, they then move forward another two steps. The result is they are always several steps ahead in their plans. Only a revolution can reverse course after that.
This, IMHO, is one probable reason why Marx has been so attractive to the immature. He's simple. Hegel wasn't. The great triumph of the Marxists is that they have been able to lead so many, including key members of the GOP, into thinking that compromise with them is some sort of possibility.
Today's Republicans are playing a crude sort of weak 1917 Kerensky Government to the well organized Marxist-Leninists of the Obama Regime. As an example, I offer the very lame performance offered by the GOP during this Lame Duck session.
I pray that they wake the Hell up. We don't have time for this.
