No ‘Compassionate Conservatism’? And if the compassionate qualifier was disqualifying because it suggested regular conservatism isn’t, how do we take Palin’s ‘Commonsense Conservatism’?

With all due respect of Sarah Palin she’s not going to be President. I like her conservatism. If she signs a reality tv contract she won’t be taken seriously

As *good* rebranding -- as people try Palin's ideas, and find that they WORK in reality, the credibility of conservatism will go UP.

Remember she's using "common sense" conservatism as a label for Reaganism.

Read Going Rogue for more.

Cheers!

I propose that we drop the whole conservative bit and call ourselves REALISTS! It makes more sense and separates us from the other party which obviously has almost no connection to the real world.
