BS. I guess compassionate conservatism told people that we were actually very feeling.

That's the point. It's a pitch to people who don't consider themselves conservative. It's telling these people that conservatism IS common sense (and that liberalism isn't).

No not BS, PDS.

Palin never used the term "compassionate conservatism". Don't blame her for GWB's use of the term.

Palin:"You can call me a common-sense conservative"..."we believe in the rights and the responsibilities and the inherent dignity of the individual."...."The opposite of a common-sense conservative is a liberalism".

She saying that conservatism is common sense.

You're analogy is weak.

Conservatism is by it's very nature common sense.

GWB was using the term to mask his big-government rinoism.

So, please tell us, what is Sarah trying to mask?
