The National Memo » Intellectual Impoverishment: Why Paul Ryan Is Rebranding That Old ‘Compassionate Conservatism’: 

Nobody in Washington talks much about the poor in America these days, even though they are more and more with us in the economic aftermath of the Great Recession. Perhaps that is why the Washington Post welcomed Paul Ryan’s recent declaration that he means to fight poverty “with kinder, gentler policies to encourage work and upward mobility.”

Right, cuz the one thing we've learned to expect from the Repugs, and especially the Paul klan...er clan, is "compassion".
