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.

Who is this moron? I’m so sick of this pResident ozero this pResident ozero that I wanna puke! Morons all of them!

“Compassionate Conservative” is redundant.

It's also condescending, defensive, and happy-prattle double-speak for "Republican willing to spend taxpayer monies on 'compassionate' causes like food stamps and Head Start."

That "conservative" has zero compassion for me so I say to hell with him. In my book, a compassionate conservative is only the one who has compassion for my right to freedom from government tyranny!

[Jabba the Nutt]

"Compassionate Conservative" = progressive lite. Examples George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, John McCain, Lindsey Graham. You will only find "compassionate conservatives" in political office. There are NO "compassionate conservative" voters. All Chiefs, no Indians.

Conservative = constitutionalist, limited government, maximum freedom. Examples Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, Ronald Reagan. There are few elected conservatives, the natural example of the "conservative" is homo Americanus, the ordinary hard-working Americano.

You rang? You can see by my registration date that I adopted my screen name during George W. Bush’s campaign for the 2000 nomination.

And you can see by the name that I adopted that I was not impressed with his slogan.
