That's the point. It's a pitch to people who don't consider themselves conservative. It's telling these people that conservatism IS common sense (and that liberalism isn't).

BS. I guess compassionate conservatism told people that we were actually very feeling.

No not BS, PDS.

Palin never used the term "compassionate conservatism". Don't blame her for GWB's use of the term.

Palin:"You can call me a common-sense conservative"..."we believe in the rights and the responsibilities and the inherent dignity of the individual."...."The opposite of a common-sense conservative is a liberalism".

She saying that conservatism is common sense.

It doesn’t need to be repeated over and over. It makes it seem like we have to say we are for common sense because the other kinds of conservatism aren’t for common sense.

Conservatives are not Republicans.

Wake me when the dems add on common sense democrats....or maybe fiscally reponsible democrats.
