These aren't conservatives we're talking about, at least not the kind of conservatism that has defined the intellectual movement for the last 40-50 years or so.
These are hacks, opportunists, and corrupt partisans.

What is it with the GOP lately? I think they may well fall into the kind of in-fighting that we saw in the Democratic Party a couple of years ago. And it almost seems like they're TRYING to drive McCain away. Why?

You always see in-fighting in the two parties, which is healthy in a two party system. This is different. This is a conscious effort by a select minority of neo-cons, southern moralists, and party opportunists to control this party. The technique brought victory for the Republicans throughout the 90s, but now the party has strayed so far from what it espouses that it will soon disenfranchise all of the real conservatives.
John McCain is a conservative first, a Republican second. He should be proud that this confuses a hack like Hastert.
