I see nothing to be gained by painting all Republicans as ascribing to the policies of the far right portion of their party or all Democrats as ascribing to the policies of the far left portion of their party. The truth is that the majority of people are somewhere between the extremes.
Some of my aquaintances are pro-business like Republicans supposedly are and pro-personal freedom (civil rights) like Democrats supposedly are. Whether they can be considered Democrat or Republican depends on who they voted for in the last election cycle.
