Actually the Small Tent conservatives are far more insulting than most. They have driven people away from the Party in droves with their numerous “conservative” our way or the highway litmus tests.
Basically, if you agree with GW on anything you are not a conservative, which is why I have left the conservative movement.

I have to ask: what exactly would be your thresehold for the unacceptable?
I infer that the "a path toward citizenship" for 50 million uneducated, unskilled, third world day laborers doesn't do it. And their exemption from medical waivers, financial background, and home country criminal record doesn't seem bothersome.
I'd guess that the signoff on a grossly unconstitutional restriction on politcal speech didn't ruffle your feathers.
The embarrassing laydowns on Plame, NSA leaks, Berger, and other criminal breaches of national security doesn't seem a problem.
So what is it that might cause you concern? It seems like we're at the very outer threshold of deliberate and willfull and ongoing negligence, yet you and others here act as if there will be no consequences so long as one maintains some sort of rock-ribbed loyalty.
Sorry, we're just about to reach my threshold, and that of millions of other Republicans (of whatever stripe).
It is only because of the serious warnings of incensed Republican voters last year that we escaped this disaster. But seeing his favorable opportunity with a Democrat House, President George W Bush has brought this heinous plan out for a third try.
