The War in the Republican Party

The GOP powers do not admit it, but there is a bloody struggle going on.
As Ronald Reagan has written in his memoirs "libertarianism is the heart and soul of conservatisiam". The GOP was libertarian in philosophy until the "Scoop Jackson Democrats" or neocons with their big government, Pax Americana, world view invaded the GOP. We are witness to a fight of control of the GOP between the Taft/Goldwater/libertarian wing and the Rockefeller/Neocon/big government wing. The Christian right as a block is really just a mule in this equation. The battle is essentially between Ron Paul with his liberaterian allies versus Guiliani and his Neocon contingent and with the rest of the field not understanding which political philosphy they wish to expouse.
