The sane ones have dropped out stating that they can't walk in lock step with the party anymore, Republicans like Olympia Snowe.

See her resignation letter here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/olympia-snowe-why-im-leaving-the-senate/2012/03/01/gIQApGYZlR_story.html

It seems our political climate has frozen out the sane ones opening the way for the crazy ones.
