Thank you, roamer_1. I have concerns that the newly minted phrase, "Commonsense Conservatism" sounds a whole lot like the "Compassionate Conservatism" that spawned W's spending excesses.

Hi MaggieCarta. How very observant of you. Anyone who is redefining Conservatism needs to do so because they don't fit the mold... And I don't think that "redefining" will convince as many Conservatives as some folks here would believe.

Oh, please, stop, I'm blushing.

Excellent point. However, I wouldn't count out the "redefining" strategy just yet...

Have a great day!
