One wingnut far-right radio personality/blogger has suggested that Sarah Palin may plan to form an independent conservative political party to “take this nation back from the liberals which now control both parties” (no, I’m not making that up), and the article has been linked to by Palin’s Facebook page and the web site of her political action committee.
If true, this is the first action Palin has taken on the public stage of which I wholeheartedly approve. Go for it, Sarah! The best thing you could possibly do for this country is to split off the batshit insane portion of the Republican party from the (considerably smaller) straitjacket-optional faction and let the BIP and the GOP bludgeon each other into political oblivion to give the rest of us more time to try to elect leaders with both brains and spines (a rare combination).
