from your lips to Goddess' ears, chap...

oh my beloved nouveau-conservative blog The American Scene - where kindly fellas inflate my political expectations at least bi-daily! below is a well-met sentence on the topic of Conservatives' failure to frame/brand/sell entitlement reform:

The other problem, I think, is one that a lot of conservatives don’t like to admit, and that’s that, in the current political environment, entitlement reform just isn’t all that popular. There’s some support in the abstract, but the reality is that much of the voting public genuinely likes not just entitlements but the the idea of a state that provides entitlements.

may it always be! that said, i'm slightly unsettled by this crowd's shrewdness. noble adversaries, huh? mebbe we'll meet at an urban outfitters or wwe event sometime.
