"I just think conservatism would be better served by reaching out more to the compassionate side..."

Ideally, I think that a lot of us would agree that reaching out to the middle is the right thing to do at times. But the problem is that every time us conservatives do it, we just get blasted by the Dems. We don't get thanked. We don't get appreciated. We don't get defended. We get blasted.

Example: Bush-41 and Nixon are the only 2 presidents that had anything to do with cleaning up the air coming out of automobile tail pipes. Nixon signed the original 1970 Clean Air Act, which reduced pollution 90% in new cars, in just over 10 years. Not a bad accomplishment. Bush-41 signed a bill that significantly tightened standards even further (in 1990). Carter and Clinton never lifted a finger. The same for the Clean Water Act.

Here's my point. Did you know about this? Has the MSM said anything about this? Has the Sierra Club or the National Resources Defense Council thanked these men? Answer: No (probably), and no and no. All we ever hear is how us Republicans want to destroy the environment. This kind of thank you has happened over and over again on virtually every issue we try to reach out on. We're SICK of it.

It gets us nowhere trying to get along - that's why people like Sean and Ann have had it with this bunch and refuse to respect them as humans. We did try your approach, and it got us nowhere.

Amen. I couldn't agree more.
What does the 10 year Republican Congress have to show for itself? Not much.
However, I still don't like Ann Coulter. And I still say that Hannity just repeats the party line. I mean come on...even you would admit that Hannity is NO Limbaugh. And Ann Coulter is no Bush.
