“Commonsense” is everybody’s buzzword.

****

It may be, but that doesn’t mean that we should cede it to the dems. If it resonates, we should use it in every answer to every political challenging question.

We have let the leftists own the language for too long.

-- It may be, but that doesn't mean that we should cede [the buzzword "commonsense"] to the dems. --

There's no risk of that. See, e.g., Jim DeMint's piece titled, "It's Common Sense" from early July, 2009.

The DEMS use the word "commonsense," the hard-left wing of the GOP uses the word "commonsense," etc.

The word does resonate, because it means whatever the listener imputes to it. I suppose "constitutional" has a similar flaw, but "dismantle XYZ federal agency," well, that sort of objective has very little ambiguity.

Yeah but the Libs say “commiesense” solutions.
