:: "grassroots" is a good suggestion, and I just added it.  "populism" is not a term used particularly by conservatives; nor does it yield any conservative insight that I am aware of.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:40, 10 January 2009 (EST)

:::Seriously? Populism is used continually to refer to Reagan, and more recently, George Bush and Sarah Palin, as they seek to speak for the "people" as opposed to "elites." Strikes me as deeply conservative. [[User:RodWeathers|- Rod Weathers]] 17:44, 10 January 2009 (EST)

:::: I don't doubt that liberals, the media, history books, and a diversity other people use the term.  I doubt that any of the conservatives you mention, or any other conservatives, use the term much.  It would be easy for you to prove me wrong, if I were wrong.  I don't see anything conservative or insightful about the term.  Majority rules?  That's a mundane, almost meaningless concept at best.  It begs the question of what the majority thinks at a particular time, which of course is very fickle.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:59, 10 January 2009 (EST)
