said White House spokesman Trent Duffy. "But he is trying to lead the country, to broaden the party.

When it comes right down to it, Mr. Duffy, the proper way to achieve that goal is to persuade Americans to support the conservative position on issues. NOT by cramming the liberal agenda down the throats of the conservative base.

bares repeating.

I'm forever amazed at the lack of faith of many 'conservatives' in the values they claim defines them.

I suppose it's kind of tough to show American voters the effectiveness of conservative policy when one doesn't bother to actually implement it.

It seems to me if folks truly believe conservatism works, then they'd advocate its implementation as a means to attract moderate voters. After all, demonstrate it's effective and people will flock to your side. The fact that many folks equate attracting moderates to enacting liberal policy, tells me they inherently have more confidence in liberal policy than conservative policy. That says something...
