>> If a person won't vote for a candidate just because he shows compassion.....they are not very politically savvy. << one man's "compassionate conservative" is another's crypto-socialist. >> Many Americans will not vote for conservatives because they see them as cold-blooded, unemotional, robots who are only interested in balancing the budget....period << that's their problem. >> They see them as heartless, with no concern for less fortunate citizens. << liberals are the heartless bunch, not conservatives. if they can't understand that there is no reason for conservatives to act like a bunch of liberals to get votes. >> The more conservatives live up to that stereotype, the fewer votes they garner. << yeah, well by compromising their principles to appear more compassionate they lose votes as well---like mine. >> Government that lacks compassion for the truly needy neglects an important part of its prime directive. << poppycock. it's not the job of government to be compassionate, and government couldn't be compassionate if it tried. >> G.W.'s point was that his administration would run a tight fiscal ship with compassion << tight fiscal ship eh? bush is a big government crypto-socialist.
