It's irritating when someone thinks they have the authority to determine just who belongs in what pigeonhole. I like your summation of them: "If it's not in the platform, it's merely your opinion"
Heck, back in the early 90's when I was still a republican ( ) I used be called out many times for not being "a true scotsman" so to speak, on a variety of issues. For example, because I wasn't anti-labor / anti-union; that was an absolute deal breaker to many conservatives. Same for my secularity and opposition to "free trade". In my case it only took a few more years to ditch the GOP forever.

If they're so well camouflaged, how do you determine that they're teabaggers?
