Dubya and his Republicans could not stick together even if you made them jump into a pool of super glue. What's the difference?

RINO's who are not conservatives and will not vote that way. If there were 55 conservative votes in the Senate, you'd have a point. There aren't.

Weak leader who compromises and never uses a veto?

So let me get this straight. Bush should have been a "strong leader", by refusing to compromise on the $1.5T. And he should have vetoed the $1.3M because it wasn't $1.5M. By the Senate passing a $1.3T tax cut, the Dems and RINO's can legitimately claim they passed a large tax cut bill. Then they point to Bush's veto as depriving the American people of that tax cut.

So not only do we not get a tax cut, but we've strengthened those who fought for the smallest cut possible. Wonderful.

Democrats are united by one central principle- more government. Republicans have no such unifying principle, at least since the end of the Cold War. By some people's definition, Ronald Reagan, with his "big tent" philosophy would not have been a real Republican.
