		<description>I believe Romney/Palin would be a fine ticket despite all those that manage to find some excuse to discredit her when they both are the brightest and have a interest in our direction that doesn't include a agenda. That are common sense and I could feel secure in the future with these choices and less Gov. in my life which includes less taxes. She has an ability to get things done and can carry the work load. He looks at things 360 degrees and this would be my choice. They both could give us what we want and do it smartly.</description>

		<description>Chuck:  My "Quick and Dirty" True Conservative Definition:  smaller Federal government, lower taxes, strong military, more individual liberty coupled with personal responsibilty, strict interpretation of the Constitution, with special emphasis on remembering that there is a 10th amendment (which seems to have been forgotten by all 3 branches of our govt.).

Before you start talking about abortion, and gun rights, etc., let me say that the last clause in my definition covers most of those issues.  The second amendment is pretty clear at this point, and only a magician could pull out a right to abortion from a privacy clause.  For those rights that are specifically delineated, I support them.  For those rights that are not, I may or may not support them, but regardless, I believe the decision should be made by the people of each state.

I didn't know his name a month ago, so I can't say for certain much about Scott Brown.  But what little I do know about him seems to line up with my definition (although I have no idea on his take on the strict interpretation of the Constitution, admittedly a crucial point).  But as Ed Morrisey pointed out this morning, if he votes conservatively all the time, he'll be a one-term senator (it is MA after all).  He (and I) believe that he'll get a pass for throwing a few votes Obama's way, as long as he stays strong on all votes regarding national security and fiscal responsibility.</description>

		<description>I, too, fear he may be a rino, afterall he is from MA (as am I).  He is either a core rino, or will become one after exposure to DC politics. 
I also agree that we have absolutely no idea what a conservative, or even a republican, is, anymore....it would be nice if they defined their terms.
I do have a bone to pick with you, however.  For someone who decries having bad names hurled at them and meaningless attacks, just outpourings of rage, you certainly go in for quite a lot of that in the above column.  When you start calling names, as you did, instead of arguing ideas, you have lost the argument.</description>

		<description>Rick:


I lay only the following at your door.

You are disloyal and disruptive at particularly the times when things are most critical.  I will welcome criticsm of my party when things are going well and we are dominant much more then when we are on the ropes.  This comes down to Nuance and perspective.  Sometimes you shout and sometimes you whisper.  Volume control gaged to the situation is imporant. 

Even when we are on the ropes we can take constructive criticism.  Just like a coach can be critical yet inspiring.  Yet your attitude makes me think of coach that will avoid the locker room and give speeches that make clear to his players that he considers them ignorant and beneath him.

Nuance and debate has its place and time.  The bloody charge also has its time and place  

After all Marie Antionette had sophistication in spades, and royal court ettiquette by the bucketful.  She was probably a perfectly charming lady in her element.  She however was disconected from the rawness and passion of her people, to her they were rude, crude and lacking in proper social graces.  They were completly beneath her.</description>

		<description>Rick,

Very interesting.

You take some blog post's as a reason to continue to trash Cool Conservatives on Radio &#38; TV.

Please list for me ONE issue that Scott Brown discussed in his victory speech that Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin would disagree with?

On the other hand, I presume you consider Scott Brown a failure, because he is an economic moron.  He in FULL THROAT near the end of his speech gave his economic cure as lower Taxes on individuals and business, to get the economy going.  When Sarah Palin said that, She was a "economic moron".  (Yes that was not your precise word, yet it was your precise meaning..end of Oct/early Nov time frame).

Maybe instead of poking a stick in a dogs eye and crying when you get bit, you might think a bit.  For most on the right, there is a core set of beliefs which bring us together, particularly when things are bad.  It's the side issues which only gain traction when economics are good.

Regards,</description>

		<description>Not until the recent special election in the Kennedy owned Bay State has there been solid proof that Obungle and his hopey-changey rope-a-dope Chicago hustle doesn't wash the way they would have liked it to on a national level.

What is driving those D.C. lefties absoluely batsh!t right now is that the "grass roots" is no longer wholly-owned by the national democrat enterprise, ACORN or the SEIU.

Publicly insulting and disrespecting fixed income Mom &#38; Pop's attending a late summer Tea Party protest or a townhall meeting is the petard they will all be hoisted upon.

You Betcha.</description>

		<description>I see some in the dem party and the media today are talking about the "far left" wing of the democrat party having too much control of the agenda, thus costing them this seat in Massachusetts. I don't know that I've ever heard a "mainstream" media person, or for that matter a democrat, use the phrase "far left." For that fact alone, this election is a victory for the moderate, center-right politics you seem to desire. For so long, the far left has been sold to us as "mainstream" -- the Cindy Sheehans, Code Pink, George Soros, MSNBC, etc. Of course they were never "mainstream," and I think often the center-right looked positively fascistic when compared to the "moderate mainstream," as the far left was sold to us. But now I think many in the democrat party understand that they have a fringe of their own to deal with, and it is on the verge of destroying their party. 

So you, and others, have railed against the "far right," perhaps justifiably at times. And now we have an acknowledged "far left" to mirror the right side's excesses (though, unfortunately, they are installed as the President, Speaker of the U.S. House, and Senate Majority Leader). America, it seems, doesn't like her politicians to engage in ideological excess at either end of the spectrum. It seems, with this election, that the right side of the aisle is perhaps learning that they will correct course, or, as happened in '06 and '08, the course will be corrected for them by the glorious American people. Now what of the left, and more importantly, the far left? It's curious that this election has left you wondering what the right will do. I'm wondering what the far left will do. Glass half full, I guess.</description>

		<description>"That is to say there are people who voted for or supported him who will discover he is not what they currently think him to be."

I am a conservative who gave Scott Brown some money. I have no illusion that Senator-elect Scott Brown is as conservative as me. I suspect he will be exactly the kind of independent-minded moderate conservative who will fit the temperment of the independents and other Mass. voters who elected him.

And I wouldnt begrudge him that one iota. It is enough that this election killed the most dangerous and worst big Government bill in a generation.
And I suspect Sen Brown will likewise be reticent about supporting other big, nasty, over-the-top bills like cap-and-tax and amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens, which Coakley would have rubber stamped.

In short, assumptions that conservatives are mis-reading what's in the package are wrong. We are thrilled this moderate was elected and is saving America from the Obama lurch to the left.</description>
