"Common Sense Conservative" is the new "Compassionate Conservative"?

Conservative does not need any qualifiers to make it sound more enlightened. If you are going to use one, the classic "rock-ribbed" is what it should be. Of course, those folks are few and far between, it appears.

Of course, I don’t hate Palin. I kinda like her. I just think she needs to be Sec of Energy or some such, not President.

Meh. I like Conservatives. sorry.

You read my mind pissant; ditto that.

It’s so progressive-like to label anyone who doesn’t agree with anything/everything Palin (or anyone else for that matter), as “haters”.

I have liked alot of the things you have done here. I have been impressed many times with your passion but not this time. In my eyes, this behavior is beneath you.

Thats funny I was on the Palin hater list because I don’t hate her. Some stuff she does is pretty good. If a “hater” means that I don’t think she is perfect and won’t give her a free pass, then I guess I am a hater. LOL

Actually, I don’t say much about her lately. I am staying a neutral and watching. The people who make lists are as kooky as Obozo and his minions.

LOL!, right? I think that is EXACTLY what "hater" means... It is such a... liberal tactic...

And don't get me wrong. I don't hate her either. I try pretty hard not to hate anyone (though McQuack makes it very hard). :D

What I feeeeel is entirely incidental. It is her record that matters.

There is a lot to like about Sarah. She is best in the position she is in now.

There is only one chance left on our side to turn the Obozo agenda around. If we win Congress and screw it up, all is over.

My problem with Palin is her baggage and I am not sure she can win.

No offense to her, but I am waiting to see how she grows before 2012.

She appears to have turned all GOP and is playing the Tea Party one minute and the RINO GOP the next. They are not one and the same, though she may wish that there were. No amount of shilling can make Carly Fiorina a conservative.

Which is it Sarah?

“It is her record that matters.”

I thinks she’s doing whatever the freeking GOP tells her to do...she just endorsed ANOTHER Rhino, Rob Portman, Ohio. Either people have completely misunderstood who she was all along or she’s totally a ‘sell out’.

I think she is just not a Conservative, according to her record. she is a populist who leans a smidge toward libertarianism (as most western types do). Fairly typical Baker moderate, just like Bush, McCain, Thompson and etc... The hyphenated "conservatives".

An interesting study is to compare the little ACU "political tendency" maps for McCain, Palin, KBH, and Romney (as examples), with a known Conservative template, like Hunter or DeMint (and etc).

The evidence is plain, and won't be all that surprising.
