Common Sense Conservatism? Hmm.

From Reuters:

Arizona Sen. John McCain, taking the first step toward a 2008 White House bid, said on Thursday a return to principles of limited government and "common sense conservatism" would carry Republicans back to power after last week's election drubbing.
[...]
"Common sense conservatives believe that the government that governs least governs best, that government should do only those things individuals cannot do for themselves and do them efficiently," he said.

Well, that sounds nice and all, but why do we have to keep repackaging conservatism? It reminds me of something Rush Limbaugh once wrote about New Democrats. He said something to the effect that anytime a Democrat runs as something new, rest assured that he's the same old Democrat with new packaging. Until McCain decides to define what exactly "common sense conservatism" means, especially where illegals and gay marriage are concerned, then I'm going to assume he's a moderate in conservative clothing.
