COnservatives could just as easily (more easily, given the data) claim that liberals don't care about poor people. But that's not one of the pillars of conservatism, whereas you can't watch MSNBC for 3 minutes without some liberal jerk claiming that liberals have a monopoly on caring about the poor.
I'm sorry your side keeps behaving so horribly, but don't make up for it by putting stupid words in my mouth.

This isn't rocket science.
Democrats typically place more value on the ability of government to bring strength of the collective. This may be as simple as belief in Federal college loans and grants to help educate our children to build a strong economy.
Yes, there are a lot of moving parts when you really analyze it, but some assertion you can't prove doesn't invalidate it.
