You may not like the political environment of what the GOP has become, but it has been taken over by the fringes. The tea party is way off in right field as is the Religious Right. There are very few moderates left with in the Republican Party, those whom are stay quiet about it so they don't face the brunt of political attacks ad funded by the Tea Party and their Kock brothers backers..
When you say left wing it just doesn't ring the same as the right wing, that is because the left has not gone off the deep end. Sure there are of course radicals on every side of the fence, but on the right they have become the most powerful groups. I'm sorry that lumping them in with you makes you feel bad, but maybe everyone that supports the GOP should look in the mirror and ask do you really want to be associated with the Religious Right and the Tea Party?

Man, if everything were as simple as categorizing huge segments of the population using only a couple of catch-phrases and labels. Here, let me take a stab at it:
The Christian Left Welcomes You
So now there is a "religious left" too. So what is the point in constantly calling out the so called "religious right"?
Tea party? How about the OWS movement?
Both sides have their "undesirables". What party do you think the marxists and communists vote for? Do you really want to be associated with communists and marxists? They are the left wing extremists pulling your party further and further to the left. The problem is that the left keeps moving the goalposts of where the political centre is so that centrists look like extreme right wingers to them now. I am a complete centrist but some people on the left call me an "extreme right winger".
And yes the left has completely gone off the deep end. You say the most powerful groups are on the right but that's just not true. Leftists are running the entire US education system from elementary school right through to university. Year after year they are churning out more and more mindless, indoctrinated drones that are eventually going to give you the one party solution that everyone on the left has wet dreams about. Then the real problems will begin.
