		<description>I&#039;m not sure it can be done.

When one third of an organization is RINOs and other similar unconservatives -- especially ones who don&#039;t grasp in any way that they are the problem, I&#039;m no longer faithful that the remainder can wrest control of the organization back.

I think, however, that, right now, if Palin, Rush and some other like-minded people got together and created a new party, the GOP would be gone in 10 years, all the real conservatives in the new party, and the RINOs etal offering sense and a tiny bit more &quot;road middleness&quot; to the Dems.

I&#039;d be happy to be wrong on that, but I suspect saving the GOP is impossible. They just don&#039;t See What Is Wrong.</description>
