These people (Perry, Rove, McConnel, Boehner,...) are all part of the same 'insider's club' (i.e. "political elite"). They collude and merge when it's politically and mutually convenient for 'the insider's club'. They have no ideology (thinly masqueraded as "conservative" in thought) but in actuality, it's purposeful ideology is to PRIMARILY serve their corporatist and political elite interests. That is why Sarah Palin is to be feared by them.
