Growing frustration over President Bush's immigration plan and lack of fiscal discipline came to a head behind closed doors at last weekend's Republican retreat in Philadelphia.

House lawmakers, stunned by the intensity of their constituents' displeasure at some of Mr. Bush's key domestic policies, gave his political strategist Karl Rove an earful behind closed doors.

But how does that explain that you are willing to run people off who do not agree with you 100%..

Oh please. The 100% crowd is the 20% demanding 100%.

A real conservative that votes GOP. Simple.

That doesn't fall into any of your own described categories.

"There is no "base" in the GOP there is only a loosely organized bunch of narrowly focused "conservatives and PJB populists""
Which begs the question: What pigeon hole do you put Bush in? Is he a "narrowly focused conservative" or a "PJB populist"?

You have 20% at best of the voting public demanding 100% influence over GOP policy. Anything less and they withhold their vote or go 3rd party. It has been that way in every election since 1992.

O slet me get this right, you say screw that 20% Lets chase them off.. we don't need them. We don't need their vote.

Could that be the same 20% who put Clinton in office by voting for Perot and staying home? Good strategy there! ( do you need the sarcasm tag?)
