It’s erupted. Sensing losses of historic proportions, conservatives seem not to be waiting for the official results to start dividing into camps. And while Sarah Palin is the nominal reason for the schism, you can see by digging a little deeper that she’s only a symbol.

So? Anyone know any military folk who took their oath to defend the constitution seriously? and are willing to fulfill it?
Anyone got a state or two in mind? Texas? Oklahoma? Alabama?

He keeps reminding his viewers that "I'm looking out for the folks". When he says that...I want to puke.
When I hear it, I make sure my wallet is still there.
There is a growing number of “conservative” pundits who’ve made themselves personae non gratis inside the conservative movement. They’ll be on the outside looking in. My list of writers who I’ll never read again (or start reading) includes Noonan, C. Buckley, Kathleen Parker, Brooks, and MacDonald. We’ll see if the list grows longer.
