DAVID FRUM, THE BIG TENT, AND SPLENETIC CONSERVATIVES
This is a Party leadership crisis. Who is the voice of the party? Is it whatever candidate gets the nod that year? I voted for McCain this year, but he would never be my choice to be the voice of the party.

When we have strong leadership who can emphasize our common goals (lower taxes, smaller government etc..) and take the devisive issues and push them to the background the party will unite.
As for your question: "What do you do when reason does not work on the unreasonable? How can you be inclusive when a minority insists on using what power it possesses to maintain exclusivity?"
Once the minority no longer owns the party they can be relegated to the back of the tent. Irrelevance might be the wake-up call they need.
