Of course they are. Despite the fact that they give the most to charity, both faith based and secular causes.
The big secret in this country is that conservatives want to see everyone do well! It is all positive for people to move into being contributors to society rather than drains on our resources. A strong middle class are the consumers of good and services and that is what business wants, larger markets to serve.
It is liberals/democrats who NEED to push the myth of greedy conservatives. It is only their interests being served by maintaining a large marginalized and subsidized population. If they actually SOLVED societies issues it would remove the reason for them existing.
Are conservatives unfairly portrayed as hard and unfeeling?

I guess the truth hurts.
Stay stupid and keep your hands out!
Special interest money can be blamed as well, but a real leader with character can stand up to these types. We have far too many lifetime elected officials that need to go.
It is the same with every political job at every level. As long as corporations are able to make huge contributions in both hard and soft money, the politicians will work for those who 'pay' them in those manners and NOT for those for whom they are supposed to work.
It is politicians on both sides who work against campaign reform, but the Citizens United case was decided by five justices who were appointed by.......*drum roll*......Republicans. Oh, and don't give me the old, tired line of "unions do it too" because there is a huge difference. Unions represent thousands (or millions) of people with a few dollars each, while corporations represent a few people with millions of dollars, each - and this is supposed to be a country of, by and for THE PEOPLE.
Oh, and a real leader with character who would work against these special interests would never make it. He would never get any money from those millionaires and billionaires, he would never get any air time on the corporate controlled media, and if he DID get elected, he would be smeared relentless...

One last thing...term limits are immaterial. It takes more money to get elected the first time than it does to get reelected.
So quit laughing and start making a difference, if you have been given much...much will be asked!
we need that sometimes, but we don't need our country to be RUN on it.
they always seem to choose the one that either A) makes them money, or B) hurts ppl with no power overthem.
no. they would not.
