And the intent was that if they couldn't find a job but did everything else required of them they would get subsidized private sector jobs or public jobs. So to say he kicked them off welfare isn't true.

Read the act. It significantly reduced the amount of money the federal government spent on welfare, gave a lot more autonomy to the states. That was some serious spin there, Paul, Chris Cuomo spin.
I agree, as I always have, that the GOP needs a better stance on healthcare. But if you want to talk about empathy, which side gleefully endorses abortion, now until the moment of birth? The Democrats have become fanatics on the issue, stating clearly they have no room for pro life democrats, of which there were many not long ago.
Pretty clear to me (not being a blind, rabid ideologue), that neither side has a monopoly on empathy, neither side has a monopoly on callousness or cruelty.
