In The Color Of Money,
 Red Staters More Charitable Than Blues

Am I my brother’s keeper? Conservatives and churchgoers are far more likely to say “yes,” research shows.

So the Liberals preach about peace love blah blah blah but never put their money where their mouth is. They want welfare for everyone as long as they don't have to spend only their own money.

Another WORTHLESS poll!
I would say that out of our circle of friends, the Democrat friends give way more to charity than our Republican friends.
In fact, we find a few of our Rep. friends to be downright greedy, however, I will say they probably have the most of any of the group.
Wow, sounds like the rich end of the Republican Party on a local level. Go figure!
By the way, we're Independents.

What a joke!
Even in the face of evidence you deny it.
Typical Democrat tactic. LIE! LOL!

I know many people that would give much more to charity if Democrat controlled Government TAXES were not so high.
That is welfare right?
Government forced charity. Problem being I dont want the Government to dictate who I donate to.
