The democrats have fucked things up so bad that any conservative agenda, FISCALLY, stands a chance on getting elected, you want someone to blame, blame the democrats, they are making it possible for extreme right wing politicians to get in office

I agree with this to some degree. For example. I live in a pretty liberal state. During the last gubernatorial election the democrat ran on a platform of raising taxes and raising spending. the republican ran on the just the opposite, but also brought morality into play. He lost. People in my state preferred the tax and spend democrat over the moral high ground of the republican.
However this year the republican is probably going to win and he hasn't said a word about social issues or morality, he is focused all on the money and the economy.
That said, I don't think Palin would be able to help herself. Much of her agenda and her popularity is seeded in her beliefs and I don't think she would be able to not bring them up. She can't help it, it is who she is and it is the reason a lot of people don't like her.
