Really don't mean to piss in your Corn Flakes, but nobody is ideologically pure.

Then what is the point of your post...

In the interim, the Republican Party learns not to p!$$ off it's conservative base.

I read that as shape up or ship out. I read that as tax cuts, a strong defense, abortion restrictions, end of AWB, SCOTUS judges, and border fencing is not enough, we need complete adherence to the conservative myth. We need a Ronald Reagan without the record deficits, Sandra Day O'Connor, Beirut nonresponse, and immigration reform. Please explain how you justify your 2 opposing statements.

Pursuing present course when it has resulted in demonstrable loss is foolish.

There is no present course. The GOP can only follow the rats or try to obstruct. The rats now write the budget, and confirm the judges.

Sure, piss off more and more of the Conservative Base. Every incremental move left results in more of the Right leaving. Yeah, that's the ticket.

In 2004 Bush ran on a record of unparalleled spending, failure to nominate acceptable judges, no Veto's, CFR, sucking up to Kennedy, and endorsing RINOs. The compassionate conservative was reelected with a 3 million vote margin.

Just prior to the 2006 elections the Congress passed, and Bush signed, a border fence and ID reform. The lesson of the immigration debate was trying to placate far right conservatives will cost you elections.

Some conservatives would like to believe Bush's poor media sponsored poll number were reflected in the defeat of Graf, Hayworth, Hostettler, DeLay, Pambo, Bonilla, Gilcrist, Harris, Santorum, and other conservative Republicans. I believe the loss of Latino votes killed the GOP in 2006, not disaffected conservative Republicans.

Your assertions do not stand up to even a perfunctory level of common sense.
