August 28, 200917 yr It matters not if they care about the poor, they help them out, which is more than what Republicans do.Actually that's not accurate. As I said in the above post, conservitives give more to charity than liberals, therefore they help them more.
August 28, 200917 yr It's true, the study has been done. Conservatives give more to charity than liberals. Don't bother, people don't want facts to get in the way of their bias. Democrats and Republicans share one thing, they both want to help the needy with republican money.
August 28, 200917 yr Obviously, Jesus was a whacked out liberal. Heck, he "took" 2 loaves of bread and a fish from a kid and then "gave" the other 4,999 people or so "free fish." They didn't even have to fill out any forms and he didn't verify they were actual citizens. He obviously didn't know he could have taken that fish and sold it and used that money to finance the battles in Canaan! Loser liberal!! :clap::clap::clap:
August 28, 200917 yr Actually, based on studies the Republicans would give much more of their own fish than the democrats would to the poor fishless masses. :laugh::laugh: Thanks, I needed that today. It's true, the study has been done. Conservatives give more to charity than liberals. 75center is correct on this one, at least regards total money given. I'm not sure about percentages.
August 28, 200917 yr Don't bother, people don't want facts to get in the way of their bias. Democrats and Republicans share one thing, they both want to help the needy with republican money. :lol: :lol: :lol:
August 29, 200917 yr 75center is correct on this one, at least regards total money given. I'm not sure about percentages. It is per capita as well.
August 29, 200917 yr Don't keep up with things much? I don't think you get it. First you say Republicans teach people how to do things, and give them opportunity to do on their own. Now you're saying, Republicans give everything to the poor. Which one is it? Why are we even having this argument then? For that matter, where do Republicans get all this money to keep for themselves, and at the same time, give it all to the poor. Now that is an impressive talent.
August 29, 200917 yr 75center is correct on this one, at least regards total money given. I'm not sure about percentages. Total contradiction then. Why are we even having this argument?
August 30, 200917 yr Total contradiction then. Why are we even having this argument?Because you don't want to admit that Republicans give more to the poor than Democrats.... :sssh:
August 30, 200917 yr First, I agree with the premise that you teach a man to fish, he feeds himself forever, and give him a fish, and he eats for only a day. I reject the partisan spin that was applied to such a wise saying. As to who contributes more, I think the that everyone gets too hung up on who contributes the most money. And the truer indicator of ANYONE'S generosity is in the time they give. Again, a non-partisan statement. It's easy to give money, AND you get a tax break. Not so easy to carve out time, and donate your talents or hard work. Just my 2 cents.
August 30, 200917 yr Question for all the Conservatives: Doesn't God teach us that we should help the poor and unfortunate?
August 30, 200917 yr IMO - neither party teaches anyone how to fish. One just gives out more fish than the other.
August 30, 200917 yr Question for all the Conservatives: Doesn't God teach us that we should help the poor and unfortunate? Yes, but the way "help" is defined is the key to this conversation.
