See..you are the one whining about posts. Don't you have a horse to gaze at lovingly?

Bob you didn't grow up with any conservative neighbors? What's becoming more and more common in this new administration another fact-check. And this is a doozy:

Brooks, a registered independent, is, as a reviewer of his book said, a social scientist who has been mugged by data. They include these findings:

-- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).

-- Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.

-- Residents of the states that voted for John Kerry in 2004 gave smaller percentages of their incomes to charity than did residents of states that voted for George Bush.

-- Bush carried 24 of the 25 states where charitable giving was above average.

-- In the 10 reddest states, in which Bush got more than 60 percent majorities, the average percentage of personal income donated to charity was 3.5. Residents of the bluest states, which gave Bush less than 40 percent, donated just 1.9 percent.

And again Al Gore 0.2 percent

and just to be fair


In 2000, brows were furrowed in perplexity because Vice President Al Gore's charitable contributions, as a percentage of his income, were below the national average: He gave 0.2 percent of his family income, one-seventh of the average for donating households.

Now that's the Democratic Green Way and to think what could've been.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

[quote=DaHoss9698]Any chance someone can post those numbers about what Gore gave to charity and the comparison between libs and conservatives again? I know I saw here and can't seem to find it.[/QUOTE

You in Luck

one more or that's enough cause I got a bunch of Gore material

that's crap. and sounds like something rush limbaugh has said.

give me some time. either he or Clinton claimed 'donated' boxers/panties on his taxes.

Don't take it out of context then......has nothing to do with Limbaugh,
has to doing with taking a stand for or against something.

LMAO!!

Here it is:

Former president Bill Clinton once made public a tax return on which he deducted $2 apiece for donated underwear. In a mandatory financial disclosure,

Now that's some real liberal givin' Wonder who the poor guy who is wearing them is? Guess better than Hillary's granny panties :D

being a centrist does not mean one doesn't take a stand. it does mean that people don't necessarily fall in line with one party on a majority of issues. i'm one of those, pretty much split down the middle-agreeing on some things with dems, on others with reps. that's FAR from refusing to 'take a stand'. it is what limbaugh says as well, which is why i mentioned it. i doubt anyone would accuse me of being a fence sitter.

Well, according to your post, you shouldn't have any problems with me!
I'm conservative.....not Republican......there's a big difference
