Compassionate Conservatism Is Back

The 98-page, breast-beating report released Monday morning by a Republican National Committee subcommittee opens by telling the party not to look back: "It is no wonder that Republican policies can seem stale; they are very nearly identical to those ordered up by the Party more than 30 years ago. For Republicans to design an agenda that applies to the conditions of 1980 is as if Ronald Reagan designed his agenda for conditions that existed in the Truman years," it quotes two former Bush aides, Ari Fleischer and Michael Gerson, as saying.

But while the new RNC document may move past Reagan Republicanism, it marks a different kind of restoration: Of the campaigns of President George W. Bush, and in particular to his first campaign, which promised "compassionate conservatism." 

and all we got was war and overblown war and a loss of America's mantle and lives and a surplus.  oh and this budget they don't want to fix makes you wonder since they deny Bush's complicity and that there was no fault at all on their side have been the plan all the while? Wall St. rolling in it corps bathing in it, no jobs threats to clip social nets Beohnr "i got 98% of what i wanted" twice, and they do nothing to help. gess because according to them they had nothing to do with it.

Compassionate Conservatism was, indisputably, political genius. To its critics, it was cynicism — conservatism with, as The New Republic snarked at the time, "hugs for poor people." To its backers, it had an under-recognized impact on President George W. Bush's policy, driving efforts to fight AIDS in Africa and poverty at home, often by steering federal funds to religious charities. The vision's most recent standard-bearer was probably former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, whose 2008 campaign demonstrated a clear appeal to his party despite fierce attacks as "big government conservatism," but it had essentially vanished by the 2012 campaign.

Huckabee their own personal voter fraud perpetrator. tells the people to vote twice and tell their friends to do so too. i wrote this on this blog last year
