2. Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth about Compassionate Conservatism

Ok, so I haven't finished book number one. I just couldn't bare to wade through all the science stuff that I've so long ago left behind. I WANT to know more about science, but at this point in my life I just don't CARE about it. So, when I heard about this next book I decided to move on, even if only temporarily. I heard about this book while listening to a Rush Limbaugh show during lunch one day. Rush was out that day, but his guest host was speaking to the author about this new book and it sounded very interesting. The premise: Conservatives are not as stingy with their money (in most cases) as most Democrats would have you believe. Being a conservative with a heart, I wanted to see for myself what this book had to say. The author's assertion about conservatives appears to be valid given the amount of research he has done as well as the fact that the author was a self-proclaimed Democrat himself and presumably had no initial bias toward making Conservatives looking good.
