The flexibility in the rules exist - because people forget - we are not in a two party system, it just seems that way, but more and more people are opting out of both parties on the left and right - to smaller parties.
Were do fiscal conservatives go after the religious nuts took over the Republican party and ran up the bill? Libertarians?
If you feel that the Democratic liberals are right of Nixon (and if you look at policies they have a point) -- true liberals can go Green Party.
There are also mom and pop parties that only exist in some states -- local election laws very by state, so it can be impossible in some states not to be an independent, but in states with large independent voter blocks, alienating them by blocking them out of primaries causes a negative back lash. That tends to create a larger number of registered independents. That both large parties are trying to avoid.
