What is a compassionate conservative?

The term is used, more or less, to balance, temper, the image of a rock-hard fiscal-tightwad electable official. George W. Bush, I think, used it to some effect. He was elected twice. It means what it appears to mean, a firm political position modified by sympathy for others distress and a willingness to do something about it.

I have compassion for the working poor and abused/neglected dogs. That is why I donate to charities in my community (MIFA and the Church Health Center) that help poor people who work for a living and I rescue, rehome dogs.

What's a compassionate liberal?

Did you know statistics show that liberals give significantly less to charity than conservatives do? See, we believe in helping people with our money instead of other people's.

An oxymoron

An American

One who supports 'family values', such as the repeal of Roe v Wade and...some other stuff

There is no such thing as a compassionate politician.

That describes every conservative I ever met.

Something like Big Foot.

People claim it might exist, but no one has actually seen one. Pure folklore.

Compassionate conservatism is like prison rape with KY jelly.
