One thing everyone seems to agree on is that Republicans face a perceived compassion deficit.
When people move from poor countries to America, they quickly adapt in at least one way - their consumption habits.
There's a lot of people out now around America who depend on checks from their fellow taxpayers being in the mailbox every day.
Big-government proponents embrace both the power of the federal government and the idea that millions of Americans ought to be dependent on its largesse. It's time to return to our Founders' love for small government. More is not always better.
Republicans rarely criticize Obama for lack of empathy - in part because liberals have traditionally been seen as standing up for the weak and the vulnerable. Conservatives can be just as empathetic. But they believe that, in most cases, it's not gov...
