I never said conservatives would or could eliminate poverty. In fact, I believe that's impossible. Even Jesus said, "The poor you will always have with you."
I was only talking about American conservatives, anyway, and specifically religious conservatives, as mentioned in the article that was posted. Americans are more generous than any other nation, and I don't know what the quantity or quality of "conservatives" would be in other nations, if any.
It's hard to fight an extremely uphill battle, as people in most countries would be doing against/in spite of their political system.
