This is difficult for me, since I’m not really a true-blue conservative, but I’d say there’s no point in conducting any kind of a purge until we’ve achieved some power.
And right now the place where the rubber meets the road is at Obamanomics.
Long story short, I agree with Stacy.

I don’t think I’ve said it here, but I believe that whenever a voter in the voting booth sees the (R) next to a candidate’s name and thinks, “This person wants to cut my taxes,” the candidate gets that vote.
I suspect that Democrats know this. Getting Bush I to break his pledge on taxes was their biggest political success, second only to getting most Americans to think about other things than taxes.
For me it’s more primitive than that, and has been a lot of the time: the first Republican I ever voted for was Riordan, for L.A. mayor, and it was because I thought he’s be tougher on crime, and less likely to stand in the way of job creation.
The GOP is the party of real jobs–not fake, make-work jobs.
