I do admit that I got the "rotation" wrong, in that, as of the immediate aftermath of 9/11, I expected the Democrats to go from left-liberalism to national liberalism, and the Republicans to go from conservatism to neoliberalism/libertarianism.
But overall I am very pleased with the results.
I still have no idea how to feel about this. I'd like to choose one, but now your description of both parties made me more conflicted over which one to choose.
