Top 10 Republican's Guide to Surviving Socialism

1. Just pretend you're on a really, really long vacation to Sweden.

2. To avoid your forthcoming tax increase, go to your boss and demand a pay cut.

3. Bring a copy of "War and Peace" to your doctor's waiting room. Don't worry, you'll have time to read it.

4. If you're an oil company, cut out the middle man and just declare bankruptcy.

5. Find out how to "clip coupons" and "find bargains." Life will be different when you're making maximum wage.

6. Take heart that your kids will no longer have to study market economics. Like intelligent design, it will no longer be taught in schools, as it is merely a theory that can't be proven.

7. When you find yourself saddled with a competitive spirit, cast more votes for your favorite American Idol! (Don't worry, the calls will be subsidized.)

Did you know that the original name for the book was "War- What Is It Good For?"

No time for comedy.

It is time to work towards gaining seats in 2010 and work for the presidency in 2012.

As I recall, the Dems started running for President the day after Bush was re-elected.

We can do the same.

Bobby, Sarah, lets go.

Sarah for President, whoever for VP. And THIS time, we don’t take any crap. By 2012, the media will be so busy covering for the 0bamination, they won’t have time for hatchet jobs.

I recommend that we all practice the line:”Are you better off now, than you were four years ago?”.

You should probably keep that in the vault.

10. Start working on your 9-year-old kid’s Presidential campaign, because apparently that’s all the experience you need to be elected.

Personally, I’d prefer four years in Sweden to be accompanied by actual Sweden. And Swedish food. And Swedish booze. And...especially...Swedish girls.

Sarah is done. She’s too easy to lampoon and is now associated with a losing ticket.

No idea who comes up the ladder, but he/she better be a true conservative. No maverick nonsense, no “gang of 12-14” affliations, no reaching across the isle.

Sarah is great, don’t get me wrong, but she’s not national material. She roused the base for sure, but there was no follow through.

We need someone who walks on all party planks, who has no history of being on the wrong side of the main issues, who has experience running something (state/city) and is NOT a Senator.

What about Duncan Hunter?

He's a good soul and on the right side of the ship, but he has no notoriety, no name recognition. You can't poll as poorly as he did and expect that to reverse itself in the next cycle. Maybe as a VP pick or a cabinet member, but not the top of the ticket.

He has to do things to get exposure, now that he is out of office. If he plans to run, he will do just that. I have a feeling that the RINOs tossing their hat into the ring for 2012 will receive a very poor reception this time, instead of becoming the instant frontrunners.

Even if you're right, laughter helps. Thnaks for the list.

Then again, health care cost might go down if enough people die waiting to see a doctor...
