The Bail-a-holics (Chuck Norris: Its the Socialism, Stupid Alert)

Rebuilding the GOP with new congressmen won’t happen. The newbies will just get co-opted and mind-numbed by the (unelected) party players in DC.

It’s going to take reaming out the GOP leadership at the county and state levels in order to replace the GOP leadership at the national levels. All of it time-consuming and slow, while the entrenched interests continue to seduce and lobby every newbie we send.

It may be time for the GOP to go the way of the Whigs. But the best thing would be to decentralize the various portions of the Federal system and move them away from the NYC-DC corruption corridor. Put the senate in Detroit, the house in Oklahoma or Nebraska and move various bureaucratic headquarters to other hinterlands. Put the Dept of Ed in Mississippi, the BATF in New Orleans, HUD in North Pole, AK or ANWAR, National Endowment for the Arts in North Dakota and so on.

Let’s make sucking on the federal teat a little more difficult and a lot less attractive as a career goal by geographic rearrangements of the honeypots.

Everyone who voted for the Bailout (now re-christened the Rescue) must be defeated the next time they stand for election (all Representatives stand for election this November). You may be thinking, "weeeeeelll, my congresscritter is good on issue X." No. He showed his true colors by voting for the Bailout. Get rid of him.

Contribute to the campaign of the opponent of anyone who voted YES.

Go to the election headquarters of the opponent and get yard signs and bumper stickers. Display them, and distribute them to friends and family.

Write letters to your local newspaper, opposing the treacherous congresscritter. Use these talking points:

• The Bailout does nothing to repeal the Community Reinvestment Act. Banks are still legally required to make loans to unqualified people.
• The Bailout does nothing to eliminate "Mark to Market." Banks can still see their capital evaporate if some other bank has to sell its assets at fire-sale prices. (The SEC has modified the rule, but they can restore it at any time.)
• The Bailout does nothing to correct Fannie and Freddie. Putting in new management doesn't alter the underlying problem, that they are backed by the taxpayer.
• The Bailout does nothing to correct the Fed's inflationary policies, which fueled the housing bubble.
• The Bailout will cost at least $2300 per person, $9100 per household, and $5300 per income tax filer.

If there's a talk show in your area, call in and lambaste your congresscritter for voting for this abomination. Call in to national talk shows urging that everyone who voted YES be voted out.

If your congresscritter voted NO, then do the opposite of these things. Support your congresscritter and work against his opponent.

There is still time to act before the election. We can make the Representatives who voted YES pay for their vote. Those Senators who are up for election this year can also be made to pay.

Remember, ballot box, jury box, cartridge box, in that order. Let's use the ballot box while we still have it.
