I can't wait for "Compassionate Conservatism" to make a comeback.
It's going to be great. The idea that Republicans haven't been failing minorities, gays, workers, the poor, and youth--you know, most of America. They've just been messaging it the wrong way.
It needs repackaged. What the GOP really needs to do is reintroduce the ideologies and policies that have left so many people behind over the last decade. But, friendlier. Explain it in simpler terms.
Show Americans that, despite all evidence to the contrary, low tax rates for the rich really have benefitted minorities. Gutting regulations really has resulted in safer, cleaner air. Global warming is just a myth. The BP Gulf oil spill wasn't a perfect example of companies ignoring regulations, safety, and warnings to maximize profits. It was really a risky business opportunity that didn't pan out.
The lives of the workers that survived were greatly improved. The economic hit on the Gulf coast, the untold amount of dead marine life, and the workers who were killed were just unfortunate situations.
Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
Keeping wages low for Americans really is a way to ensure more opportunities for employment. In fact, when we gut minimum wage requirements, there will be even more opportunities.
And don't worry about food stamps and Medicaid. The programs you rely on because of the opportunities those wages create. They're really just holding you back.
Plus, the free market that's been denying you care for preexisting conditions (such as pregnancy, doanchaknow) will adjust. As long as there's profit to be had.
All in all, you'll be better off with Compassionate Conservatism at the helm. We hear your problems. And we all have friends that have been inconvenienced by your pain.
We're from the free market and we'll continue to help. (For a small fee.)
