We have come pretty far in a short period of time re: Sarah Palin.
Regarding her RNC speech, I must heartily admit, I am STILL fired up that SOMEONE was willing to attack the cess-hole that is DC. After all, she did actually have a bit of a track record of clearing out the cess-hole in Alaska (even in her own party!!).
Is there anybody ELSE out there that can actually “sneak” into DC and start engaging the much needed enema bags???

I think “clearing out the cess-hole” of DC is not something that Sarah Palin (or any single politician, for that matter) can do. The fact is that providing services for 300 million people is going to require a sizable bureaucracy, and the waste that comes with it. And Sarah Palin isn’t going to be the swordmistress that takes care of that Gordian Knot.

What you can do is reduce funding or eliminate unnecessary programs, but that is as hard as raising taxes.
