We're all the base, it's just that the "purist" are trying to push out the rest of us.

Well, I guess I'm one of the "purists" and we do not agree on who's trying to push whom out. The way we see it, it's the Hispandering GOP Big Tent party-over-principle types who are pushing the conservatives out. We have gotten the message, however. And we do know the way out.
Big mistake by the way, alienating and excluding 30+% of the total base. Going to make electing RINOs even tougher. Check with Ken Mehlman and ask him how the donations are coming along, and how many RNC/2006 membership cards have been returned cut in half.
Sad, but that's what happens when the GOP Big Tent decides it can do without conservatives. Now it may have to.
