Rush is rightly disgusted at today's Mueller's news. SO disgusted in fact that after a caller prompted him he agreed that the word "conservative" is so useless and damaged that a "rebranding" might be a good idea.
I couldn't agree more.

"Not Insane" works for me.

Paleocons were writing about the death of “conservativism” as a useful term at least a dozen years ago.

The problem is not the designation but, rather, it’s overuse and misapplication to people or situations inaccurately.The problem as discussed by Rush and the caller was simple; "conservative" no longer tests well. If you can no longer market it, and rehabilitation of the term is a long shot at best, simply rebrand around Trump and his platform. That admission coming from Rush is profound and cogent, IMO.

“Tests well” or not it describes me and likely a majority of Americans in this country. A vast majority of Americans minus the left and right coasts.
To: JonPreston
Im a Republican, never claimed to be a ‘conservative’. as far as im concerned if they want to rebrand it id say retro-brand it to “Republic-an” so everyone finally knows what you stand for at a glance, the Republic.

I disagree with him. It’s the demonkkkRATs, leftists etc who need “rebranding”as the commies/socialists/marxists/traitors/hard-core leftists they are. Not us.

Flake and his ilk are RINOs; they’ve already been rebranded.

Calling ourselves normal forces the left to admit that they hate normalcy.
It's okay to be normal!

I don’t care about labels and the last thing we should do is follow liberals with their name changes, Liberals, progressives, etc.
I must not be reading the right articles. All these people keep pleading guilty to lying. What are the underlying crimes they lied about and why aren’t they ever charged for those offenses? I understand it’s due to the plea bargain but why bargain? There’s no overloaded docket for these people, no need for a quick resolution. Why are they getting these wrist slaps and what are the actual offenses?
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
The perp who pleads not guilty when guilty is lying too, but never gets charged for perjury.
