[QUOTE="Evan Jellicoe, post: 75050114, member: 389657"] I voted for Bush, and McCain, and Romney. I didn't vote for the Democratic candidate until 2016. But one thing that was a special positive for Bush was that he said right out loud that he called himself a "compassionate conservative," which is how I describe myself in terms of my personal values and conduct. I believed, as Bush said he believed, that a conservative approach was actually the best way to help the poor. A large part of what convinced me to change my vote is that I slowly came to see that there seem to be way too many conservatives--including a lot of Bible-believing Christians--who actually have no compassion at all. They are all about [B]law[/B] and [B]money[I], [/I][/B]and they have no use for "losers." They say that the poor are poor because they deserve it, and that if they would just come to Jesus and do what He says everything would be alright for them. When I finally realized that a rising tide does [B][I]not[/I][/B] lift all boats, that was when I decided to side with the party that values the welfare of all people above money and above the preservation of the "good ol' days" (which weren't really all that good).
