Zero-sum left-right thinking like that is a big reason that conservatives are out of power and wandering in the wilderness. The political center is fed up with the old politics of "Yer fer us or agin us and that's it!" that Rove turned into such poison by the last few years of the Bush experience. It was the endless demonization of All Others that made it possible for Obama to step in and swoop up so many states that were supposed to be "reliable red states" in the New Conservative Majority. Didn't quite work out as planned. If there is no message for the center, just Left and Right and Nothing In Between, then the center will just get sick of all politicians. That is NOT the recipe for a party way back in the opposition to mobilize a return to power. Just ask the Dems in the 1980's.
