‘The Child Bush Left Behind’

During the 2000 election George W. Bush ran on the platform that he was a “Compassionate Conservative.” The White House website has the following quote describing the Presidents position:

“I call my philosophy and approach compassionate conservatism. It is compassionate to actively help our fellow citizens in need. It is conservative to insist on responsibility and results. And with this hopeful approach, we will make a real difference in people’s lives.”

–President George W. Bush

See what difference “compassionate conservatism” has made in real people’s lives?
