Good point. I suspect it touched that same nerve with a lot of people. It was a good idea if Bush wants to expand his umbrella to encompass a broader image. But all I have at this point is a term that was not well developed when it was set forth. Bush Senior pushed the term "1000 points of light," when he was president. Maybe he didn't have enough time to develop his education initiatives but to me the "thousand points of light" wouldn't illuminate an outhouse. I didn't like him when he was in office. I like him now and have come like what he did back then...I just didn't appreciate him at the time, I guess. Anyway, they are catchy terms that have been just shoved out there to wither and die as far as I can see. BTW I liked the RATS commercial. Too bad everybody (repubs) reacted in a clumbsy head hanging, shoulder shrugging fashion, and the Dems got away with the gasping and finger pointing hype. Coulda been fun. I'm tired of this fumbling around, lets see the debates.

compassionate conservative CC came about because of the constant use of "mean-spirited" to describe conservative views that were long on rationale and logic (teaching someone to fish) but short on so-called "charity" (giving someone a fish). What is the situation like in India, much the same I would guess? I heard a lady say today that she wanted to spend her family's money on her children. Some would not find this compassionate (given the level of poverty in the world) but others believe true charity begins in the home. Is this being mean-spirited?
