and I might add to that:....’time to lose the monotone drawl that puts conservatives(and most everyone else) to sleep’.

I'd rather have a monotone drawl that actually SAYS something than a polished smooth, or sing-song cadence that says NOTHING. Seems a lot of conservatives have ditched the notion of IDEAS in favor of fluff. Too bad.

Well..a monotone drawl that other people share might work at the PTA, but it is not going to work on the national scene imho.

No conservatives that I know are ‘ditching’ anything in favor of ‘fluff’. They are just realists and unless Fred picks up the ball...someone else is going to slam into homeplate.
