And you believe in "uncompassionate conservatism"?
No, just a regular old fashioned conservative. I never thought of conservatives as uncompassionate to begin with.
I guess President Bush did though, since he felt the need to redefine himself. I thought at first it was just a slick marketing label, but turns out it really is different than old fashioned conservatism.
Wheather that is good or bad is in the eye of the beholder I guess, since he certainly has lots of supporters:^)
I don't like the term "compassionate conservative". I first heard it in a California 22nd congressional district race between Tom "The Compassionate Conservative" Bordanaro and Lois Capps. Bordanaro lost, so I've since associated it with being beaten by a liberal Democrat.
Also, I don't think there is "uncompassionate conservatism".
