So is the test of whether one is a conservative or not now based on one's support for Donald Rumsfeld? Seems like anyone who dares to critcize Rumsfeld is either called a RINO or considered an idiot. Conservatives criticize Bush all the time. Since when did Rumsfeld become a god - someone untouchable, beyond criticism?

Nope. Plenty of conservative idiots. Trent Lott, Ron Paul, Lyndsay Graham, Paul O'Neil, Pat Buchanan, Bill Kristol, Tucker Carlson, Bob Novack, Richard Lugar, Sean Hannity, Michael (Weiner) Savage, Anthony Zinni, John McCain, to name just a few of TOO MANY. Criticising Rumsfeld has nothing to do with being an idiot, though it is often a symptom.
