Compassionate Conservatives

Overheard on the radio...

"If Conservatives were really compassionate, would they need the adjective?"

Compassionate conservative is code for a liberal with a (r) next to their name.

Compassionate conservative? Sure it COULD exist....
Isn't that a little like "Reverse Racism"?..or "Friendly Fire"?....or "Italian American"?...or "Creation Science"?...or "Military Intelligence"?....or "Congressional Ethics"?....

Conservatism IS compassion. It does not need a modifier.

I agree with dunkel25 above. As GWB has plainly showed us, a "compassionate conservative" is really just a liberal masquerading as a Republican—also known as a "RINO"!

It is just a stupid title nothing more.

I prefer when ideologies don't put extra words in their name.

Bush was nominated by Republicans, but elected by America twice. This is not a communist nation as the Democrats wish it would be

Lesser of two evils...

All in all, Algore or John F. Kerry (Who Served in Vietnamâ„¢) would've been immeasurably worse
