Idk if any of you are members of "The Ed Schultz Message Board" but I am an Active member there ..Anyways Just figured I'd intruduce myslelf!

Cheers,

Well young lefty, I am going to turn you into a righty. You do know that conservatives far out give liberals to charity and I am going to provide proof of that shorty.

Biden gave average of $369 to charity a year - USATODAY.com

This is your democratic Vice President.

WASHINGTON — Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and his wife gave an average of $369 a year to charity during the past decade, his tax records show.
Democratic
BTW- I give more than that in a months time and I am a conservative.

...That is a joke right?

You might try reading the links, they are valid and this has been proven with tax returns, etc. Don't turn into a mind numb liberal who ignores the facts and the truth when it's right there in your face. And here is another one for you to ponder.

American Thinker: Obama's Charity Problem

According to their tax returns [notes Coulter], in 2006 and 2007, the Obamas gave 5.8 percent and 6.1 percent of their income to charity. I guess Michelle Obama has to draw the line someplace with all this ‘giving back' stuff. The Bidens gave 0.15 percent and 0.31 percent of the income to charity.


Meanwhile, in 1991, 1992 and 1993, George W. Bush had incomes of $179,591, $212,313 and $610,772. His charitable contributions those years were $28,236, $31,914 and $31,292. During his presidency, Bush gave away more than 10 percent of his income each year.

For purposes of comparison, in 2005, Barack Obama made $1.7 million -- more than twice President Bush's 2005 income of $735,180 -- but they both gave about the same amount to charity.

Liberals are very charitable but ONLY with other people's money.

" The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. " Margaret Thatcher

" If you are 20 and you are not a liberal, you don't have a heart. If you are 40 and still a liberal you don't have a brain." Winston Churchill

" A government big enough to give you everything you need is big enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson

It might seem that way to a 15 year old but, no, actually, it isn't that impressive.

LMAO, How does giving a certain amount of money to charity make you a good person?..Obama worked to get people jobs and out of welfare as a community organizer but that alone doesn't make him "Good" and worthy to vote for.

Welcome to the board, you will get an education on politics and the workings of the government here. But don't call yourself a lefty until you know where you stand on the issues, because in reality the real left are a bunch of mind numb robots who love to ignore the facts and the truth because it gets in the way of what they Beleive and that's just too much of an overload for their nat sized brains to absorb.

Thank you Syrup!

I have to love how people (some who complain about the harassment in intro threads) are doing exactly that here.

You already posted some unsourced numbers as though it did...That has to be some kind of record for trying to move the goalpost.

Source??....Verifiable testimonials??

C'mon....Dazzle us.

Obama was working for a group of churches that were concerned about their parishioners, many of whom had been laid off when the steel mills closed on the south side of Chicago. They hired Obama to help those people recover and get the services they needed--job training, help with housing and such from the local government...

If I WERE to find a video of someone saying Obama had done something for them you would say it was fake

All that's missing is the trial by fire.

Where are those jobs??? I don't see any, he signed a 787 billion dollar stimulus plan last Feburary that NO-ONE read before they signed it. It was a liberal wish list that had been sitting in a drawer for the last 20 years, brought out, dusted off, and signed. More money went to the Arts and Humanities than did small business which employs 76% of Americans.
The real unemployment number is around 17% when you count the people who have dropped off the unemployment role. Among black people it is closer to 25% unemployment. There are no jobs.

From this so-called stimulus bill 18 million was spent to design a web site so we could count the jobs created. They show jobs created in congressional districts that don't exist and in zip code areas that don't exist. Here in my state of Colorado we are spending 5 million to re-pave a bike trail, it created all of 3 temporary jobs. I would not say that we got a big bang for the buck.

Promises broken-

!. Transperency- no transperency on the stimulus bill or the health care bill being debated now.Obama stated, " I will air the negotiations on health care on C-Span. "It's all been written in the back room, we really don't know who is writing it and several senators, Ben Nelson with the "cornhusker kickback" have been bought off for their votes. Corruption is alive and well with this administration.

2. I will sign no bill with earmarks.
a. He signed the omnibus bill with 9,000 earmarks.
b. He just signed another budget bill with 5,000 earmarks.

3. I am going to limit lobbyists.
a. They are the ones who are actually running the show and have been from the start.

No we wouldn't, but you always need to back up your statements with a link and prove what you are stating otherwise you will look pretty darn foolish and will be put on the ignore list as so many before you have.

You need to show proof. It's very easy to do, google search it and u-tube search it.

I admire you being into politics at your age YoungLefty.

I kind of like this saying:

"If you're young and a republican you have no heart. If you're old and a democrat you have no brain".

Enjoy your time here.

Or maybe some of us Develop our minds quicker than others..

But then again according to your quote all Democrats on this board have no brain.

That explains it all..

Younglefty, don't mind Maple. He is the Resident President of the Sarah Palin fan club. To listen to him you would think Sarah is a gift from God if what he says were true.

Time to kick this thread up a notch:

I figured we'd give the guy a chance before the trial by fire. I'm not defending anyone. Besides, you know as well as I do about what I said about Maple is true.

It's the disparity that you should be concerned about here, Obama made 2 times as much as Bush yet they have about the same in giving to charity. Did you notice that evillllllllllll Dick Cheney gave millions to charity while Joe Biden gave a whoppin $300 per YEAR in charity. Like I said before, I give more than that $300 in one month than he does in an entire year and beleive me, he has a ton more money than I do. BTW- I am a conservative.
