Not if it comes from outside the ruling class, as it does with Palin.

Again, I love Sarah Palin, but, to me, any attempt to modify, qualify or make Conservatism SOUND more appealing only results in watering down Conservatism.

How can you “water down” something merely by reminding people what it is?

To avoid “watering down.”
