Questionable is your retort? Really? You don't have anything but questionable? So Roneys a coldhearted cheap bastard because you find another church's charity questionable? I' at a loss. >> Tyler Charitable Foundation >> >> http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2012/01/24/romney-foundation-gives-210k-in-boston.html >> > Some contributions to MS research. Good thing. But barely 1% of Romney's > donations and less than the contributions to the anti-gay organizations and > GWB library. Again, priorities. And the Romney's control the Tyler > Foundation...so they are determining where the money goes. Add them up and it's like 90% of his charitable donations. But nice attempt at itemizing to minimize. It goes to charity and you know it. Try to remember before Obama was President he and Biden gave less than 2% a year. >> Right to Play: >> Yeah >> > Nope. Not charity.

"The charity aims to improve the lives of poverty stricken children all over the world by using sport to help them build essential skills with many of the communities targeted being affected by war, poverty and disease." That Mitt is such an evil bastard. >> Operation Kids: >> Yeah >> > Nope. An organization that provides administrative support to other > non-profits so they can raise more money.

He wasn't talking about everyone that voted for Obama, he's talking about the people that will vote for him so they can depend on Government. He apologized but he was right. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:357365 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
