When the PTBs of the GOP sit down, put together the math and realize "we can do it without the hardcore right anymore",

and that is what scares the hell out of them...
it is what is driving this confrontation...
"He that has the power to destroy a thing, controls a thing... " Francis Herbert.

They are fighting to gain control of the republican party. Leaving Bush hanging didn't work last presidential eleciton, Buchanan fell flat on his face. Alan got thrown out of the debates, deservedly so.

this is do or die for the righty tighties.

A lovely picture of a rhino you have, but an ugly beast all the same. A Republican Party without the "hardcore right" is a Republican Party without principles.
