Excellent post. Another prime example of the ability of pragmatic conservatives to see the big picture. This post is a keeper.

"Another prime example of the ability of pragmatic conservatives to see the big picture."

The "Big Picture" projected is the GOP's "pragmatic" incremental surrendering of principled conservatism to liberal-centrist policies implimented soley to pander to a "new" floating constituency.
