I can't fathom why the left is actually criticizing Romney for "pitching in".

Frankly I'm at a loss for words so I'll leave it at that.

Exactly, so your criticism is unwarranted.

I'm not going to do Google searches for you, but you should do just a wee-bit of research before spouting venom at Mr. Romney.

Start with Romney v. Obama tax returns and tell us all who has more charitable deductions. It's really not very close. Hell...add Biden's charitable givings to Obama's and tell us who gave more. You can pound Romney on his policies and statements until your hammer and sicle wear out, but you cannot compare his charity work/givings to anyone of his competitors.

Without a doubt. That's why the hypocrisy on this issue is stunning.

I think you guys are forgetting that Romney hates poor people and black people.

Ah the Dover Republican dream. Where if you work hard and make it from ditch digger to dozer operator, you can move up from the single wide to the double wide.

In 2008, McCain suspended campaigning to go back to DC during the financial crisis meltdown. Obama went to stump in FL.

so republican to place dollars above lives,.

You really don't want to bring up tax returns.

Also, I do not doubt Mr. Romney gives a lot to charity. I don't know how that compares percentage wise since he's vastly more wealthy than Obama. And I discount some of the charitable giving because despite it's tax status the Mormon Church is not a charitible enterprise IMO. Surprised sleeper is so supportive of it.

By the way....IF he was an African-American, then by definition he couldn't be President. It's in the parchment y'all want to treat with disdain. He's either an American or he isn't. Enough political-correctness horse****.

Gosh a ruddies is mother was an American and his father was an African and there off spring is an African American. And that ancestry is the basis so much of the hatred for him expressed in this election and at this site.

lol. I hate Romney. I am however getting tired of the vastly ignorant Obama nut huggers and their endless rhetoric. I mean I know not all Democrats are idiots, but it's getting hard to maintain that belief.

Both sides are retarded. I tend to argue against Romney since I live in a very Republican household and area so I hear so much crazy Quaker Oats style nonsense on a daily basis that it's hard to not want to espouse the exact opposite ideas. Because despite me being a "nut hugger" there's a ton of things I don't like about Obama such as NDAA and that he supports the same sort of policies the GOP does which result in us bombing kids in third world countries.

1. Tax returns show charitable contributions. I'm sorry you don't want to recognize this fact.
2. Obama's net worth is valued at $11,000,000. If that isn't rich, you tell us what is. He can't even help out his brother. His REAL brother. Isn't that sad?
3. The Mormon church isn't a legal charity now. Are you the "fair charity subcommittee chairman" now? Does the Mormon church help out any of the less fortunate among us or do they just collect donations, send them to a Swiss banker, and watch their investments rise rise rise? This is a desperate, if not an illiterate, charge.
4. You can measure Romney's giving in time/$ in any shape, manner or form you desire. Go ahead...Google is your friend.

Go ahead, pick on what comes out of his mouth. But you have no basis whatsoever to complain about what comes out of his wallet. Especially when compared to the selfish duo of Obama-Biden.

The two years we have.

Show us the years where he's alleged to have used the amnesty program.

As for the Mormon Church, they promote discrimination so no, I don't think they should be considered a charity.

Not everybody uses their church's tax exempt status to defer their tax liability for over a decade...

“The main benefit from a charitable remainder trust is the renting from your favorite charity of its exemption from taxation,” Blattmachr said. Despite the name, giving a gift or getting a charitable deduction “is just a throwaway,” he said. “I used to structure them so the value dedicated to charity was as close to zero as possible without being zero.”

gosh a ruddies consistent opposition to American action to kill terrorists and protect American lives.

I've pissed off isadore and Quaker in the same thread. That probably means I'm doing something right.

I agree both sides are over the top; it just seems Obama supporters are the bigger idiots.

An opposing response doesn't equal pissed off. Lol.

You tend to exaggerate things a bit.

no it just shows your continuing sympathy for people who kill Americans.

Perhaps, though some idiot talking about how they get free shit isn't really more or less stupid to me than someone talking about commies and Muslims and socialism and birth certificates and such. Just different stupid.

The President of the United States must be an American. I'm not a birther, and no one can prove he's not a American, therefore that is what his nationality is. If he was born in Ireland and migrated to the United States, then he could go by the moniker, Irish-American, and it would be true. If we want to follow your logic, then everyone has a string of countries. For me, it would be Irish-German-French American. How f*cking stupid is that?

I thought we lived in a melting pot, not in hundreds of separate pots?

The fact he is approaching historical failure records has nothing to do with his skin color and everything to do with how he was raised, what he was taught, who were his mentors, who he married and his lack of managerial/executive experience. For you to claim his presidency is based on his skin color is tantamount to being a racist. He will be judged on the content of his character and not the color of his skin as someone better than you or I opined for 5 decades ago.

No need to. It might dampen your persona on here from what your seeking.
