So destroy them.
The only reason why these assholes get away with this stuff is because people let them - because most of us aren’t interested or don’t have the time to figure out who is pulling the strings, where they live, who their children are, where they go to school, who their bankers are, what property they own, what their businesses are/own/etc.
Start finding out. If we start a campaign to expose and destroy these people, they’re going to either give up or try something that is going to raise the stakes until we’re no longer using the ballot box to address the issue.
Either way, it’s time we quit tolerating this stuff. It is time to cease being nice, polite and well-behaved. It is past time to let political hacks know there there will be consequences to their actions - consequences that will cost them personally, dearly and deeply.
And by destroy them, I mean this:
We all saw what they’ve done (and continue to do) to Palin.
Well, double that, square it and multiply it by 10 - then start doing it to Karl Rove to make an example of someone.
Then take on some of the DC political consultants and back room wheeler-dealers.
I’m going to start with Liz Cheney’s husband.
