Well, I can only tell you how it looks to me. What I see is their frustration at Bush (and only sometimes on that) and other moderate Republicans. They really aren't saying anything different than, say, the WSJ says frequently. The big difference is their plan to manifest their frustrations at the voting booth. Having only recently moved to this infant party, I would think they could be persuaded by friends to, if not rejoin the Republicans, at least extend their support when the vote is close and the stakes are vital. It might be something they do at the very last minute in the voting booth. Why kill the chance by chasing them out?

With all due respect, if malcontents are so wishy washy in their convictions that they change their votes based on someone being rude to them on a political forum their votes can't be counted on by any candidate or party.
