The GOP is an extremely diverse party. You'll find true conservatives, moderate conservatives, moderates and even neoconservatives who are actually liberals. The problem is, no one has been in control of the GOP since 2008 after the neconservatives lost control of the GOP.
Unlike the Democrat Party that is made up of every radical loony special interest group there is, where everyone is in lockstep. The Democrat's rule is simple, that we will support your radical agenda as long as you support our radical agenda no matter how loony and un-American it is.
I guess I need to repeat what I posted in #18:
You, sir, are flat wrong.
If you were paying attention, you'd know that there's a lot of liberals who support Edward Snowden...and a lot (like myself) who think that he (and Bradley Manning) are guilty of something akin to treason. You'd find that a third of liberals are pro-life (I'm strongly pro-choice). You'd find that about a third of liberals have a gun in the home (I don't). You'd find that many of us are outraged at Obama's use of drones in Pakistan, Yemen, and the Sudan...and many of us who figure he probably had a good reason to do so (I'm ambivalent on this one).
So please don't make the mistake of thinking that Democrats are monolithic. If I wanted to make the 'monolith' accusation at the GOP, I'd need only to point back to what happened to John Huntsman in the 2012 primaries when he said he believed in evolution...
...but Republicans are not all alike - you know that and so do I. But you must admit that the GOP is much farther to the right than it was even ten years ago, for even Bob Dole has pointed out that he, Reagan, and Bush 41 would have a very tough time getting through primaries in today's GOP. You also must admit that in most cases, Republican primaries have become a contest of "I'm more conservative than you", that the greatest threat most Republicans in the House feel are from primary challenges from the far right.

Oh, and one more thing - you say the GOP is "an extremely diverse party". Care to post pictures of Tea Party rallies? How many brown people do you see in them? There's almost never any at all...and when there are some, they're like raisins in the sun. Regular GOP rallies have a few more brown people, but not by much. And don't even ask about LGBT's.
On the Democratic side, sure, you'll find a few all-white pictures of rallies - which are usually from almost-lily-white districts - but the vast majority of them show a real diversity of races, and of LGBT's. But don't let little things like facts keep you from trumpeting your "extremely diverse GOP" fantasy....
