Clearly articulating why conservatism itself WORKS, and therefore IS compassionate, would be something not tried in a long time.

I will agree, but how do you articulate these beliefs when there is no real vehicle(i.e. the main stream media) to do so?

[C. Edmund Wright]

You do it in ads, and in the debates, and get away from these sterile answers designed not to offend.

You don’t run an entire campaign on the premise that Obama is “a nice guy who is simply over his head.” You don’t agree that he and biden merely “inherited a mess” and haven’t quite gotten out of us yet.

You tie all failures, over and over, in every message, to liberalism. You tie all sucesses, like bin Laden’s killing, over and over, to conservatism.

So you piss off our enemies a bit more? Who cares? All we have to do is flip about 1-2% of the undecideds - and dammit, I’m convinced it would be done.
