Do you actually believe that Republicans have moved any further right than their opposition has moved left?  The chasm of division between the two parties has been widened by this President and I do not expect him to start acting in a reasonable manner at this point.

Um, yeah, I do.  And political scientists do, too.  Check out these graphs of the DW-NOMINATE system developed by political scientists to measure ideologies of senators and representatives:

Republicans have gotten extreme.  Democrats have shifted a little to the left.  There's no comparison between the two parties.
