The GOP elites have a home in the democrat party. Purge every last one of them!

[Uncle Miltie]

Conservatism itself is compassionate, in that it helps everyone aspire to independence and freedom, not dependence and slavery.

“Compassionate Conservative” is redundant.

“Compassionate Liberal” is an oxymoron.

[Grampa Dave]

Never take advice from liberals like the maggot infected mediot writing this bs.

The cornerstone of Obama’s presidency is cracked and sitting in sand.

Obmacare is a disaster, and scribblers like the National Journal licking his rear do not change the facts. Obama owns the shutdown.

Republican strategist John Weaver

His track record sorta sucks for him to be giving advice.

What's compassionate about using the full force and violence of the federal government to take the fruits of the labor from one person and give it to another? Because the government deals in money, power and violence - not affectionate hugs.

said Republican strategist John Weaver, a veteran of the McCain and Huntsman campaigns.

Well, clearly he is an expert strategist with a resume like that. /sarc.

[Flycatcher]

I killed them.

[GeronL]

I have never seen anyone more compassionate than Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz.

[FlingWingFlyer]

...John Weaver, a veteran of the McCain and Huntsman campaigns...

There's a real winner for you.

As for the "compassionate conservatives", I think they went looking for just one honest, INTELLIGENT journalist in the "media". No luck so far.

We changed after obama stuck his hands in our pockets, the IRS in our politics and his NSA in our business. Now piss off lefturds!

[Snake65]

"Compassionate Conservativism" got George W. Bush so much slack from the left. They truly loved him as a different kind of Republican.

At least I'm pretty sure that was how it happened in a Trek-like alternate universe. Something else happened here.

[Liberty Ship]

Compassionate is one thing. Co-dependent with welfare addicts is another.

[gusty]

I guess they ran out of other people’s money as all statists eventual do.

[RKBA Democrat]

Compassionate conservative is swahili for progressive.

[AD from SpringBay]

The ‘compassionate’ conservatives were bent over the barrel, used, and then abused by the progressives. It’s time for the conservatives to remember how politics work and how the other party will take every advantage they can.

Everyone make your own way in the world or lie down and die!!!

[Irenic]

With all the celebrating of coming out of the closet stuff, I’ve been thinking...

The Socialist and Communists in the Democratic party need to come out. Be in the open, give the Democrats back their party. Rinos can then comfortably move over to the Democratic party.

Conservatives, Libertarians, Constitutionalists...several parties.

I think we need to have many, many more parties or none. Too much power is being placed in the hands of too few with this two party system.

With many parties the power would not be so concentrated, people wouldn’t be so quick to vote a party ticket and people of the United States would be more accurately represented.

In my opinion this two party system isn’t working. Maybe I’m not looking at it right or looking to simplistically?

[VRWC For Truth]

Another buggy whip idea manufactured by Democrat, misogynist, Conservative woman hater, and loser Tokyo Rove.

[stanne]

Compassionate Conservatives came from W, forcing conservatives into a corner.

Conservatives are compassionate toward everything the constitution allows for.

And that means being compassionate for the innocent children of today being strapped with Obama’s debt.

[dfwgator]

You mean “Conservatives” that are “Compassionate” with other peoples’ money.
