Good topic.  You see, I used to have a lot of the same feelings as you expressed in your post.  I'm assuming that you are a very TAG player.
 
Some thoughts on this.  
 
Take a look at your game; you may actually be weak tight not TAG.  I was weak tight when I thought I was TAG at one point in my poker playing.
 
Instead of complaining about the masses, join them.  Don't be afraid to run a bluff once in awhile and open up your range to suited connectors or gapped connectors.  It will help your post flop game a great deal and ultimately make you a more dangerous opponent.
 
Understand that it does take talent to play so many hands and not got burned.  You have to be super sharp on your reads to play a really LAG style well...so just don't dismiss these players as donkeys or whatever; they're not
 
Realize that as a TAG player, you don't win every time you get a big PP.  There's a fine line between being aggressive with a big pair and being foolish.  If its a scary board; SLOW DOWN!  I'm not saying don't bet or be aggressive but if there are serious flush draws, straight draws, etc then play accordingly.
 
Realize the benefit of having these players at your table.  Use their aggressiveness against them and trap them when u get a big hand.  The same way they trap you when their trash hits 2 pair against your big pp.
 
I could go on but it took me a LONG time to really grasp and understand what I've just posted.  I took two years away from poker for various reasons but while I was away, I did think about how I failed.  This is where a lot of what I typed comes from.
