Whether we stop the Dems or not (they seem intent on slitting their own throat in order to appease the 20% of useful idiots cheer leading for shorter lives) the answer must be the same:

Real fiscal conservatives must be selected and advanced for 2010. Hear about a challenge to an RINO incumbent? (i.e., Virtually everyone with an “R” after their name.) Read their policies and send them $10, regardless of the district. Republican ‘leader’? Find his opponent and send him $10. Purge the ranks and purge the stink of corruption, timidity and feckless wavering on our original core issues: Small Government that leaves us alone and National Defense (and leave the god stuff in church where it belongs). It must also be clear that we are sending them for one reason. To heartlessly dismantle every stupid plank of this socialist train wreck. (Sorry Jorge, Billy Joe Bob, Shenaney -no free oxycontin for you.)

Palin seems to get it and has many advantages:
1. Not from the Harvard/Yale rivalry that’s done such a ‘heckuva’ smashup job these past 20 years.
2. Has previously worked for a living, so she understands that capitalism is not bailing out former coworkers and classmates from Goldman Sacks.
3. Has actual accomplishments of some consequence which are not the source of shame or destructive to economic well being.
4. Actually seems to know who she is and what she believes.
