OK, but you made me do it.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made considerably less money than rival Sen. Joe Biden, but the Palin family gave more to charity in the last two years than Biden has in the last eight combined, according to Palin's tax records released Friday afternoon.

Palin, the running mate of presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and her husband Todd reported meager earnings from 2006 and 2007, at least by presidential-politics standards.

In 2006, the Palins paid $11,944 in taxes on $127,869 in income. In 2007, they paid $24,738 on $166,080.

But in 2006, they donated $4,880 to charity, and in 2007, they donated $3,325.

By contrast, Biden (D-Del.), Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's running mate, has donated a total of $3,690 since 1998 despite his higher Senate salary, according to an analysis posted by National Review.
--------------------------------------------------------------
That's right folks Biden gave an average of $369 per yer for the last 10 years.

And there is this:

Recall what Barack Obama said in his appearance at the Saddleback Forum in August:

“Americans’ greatest moral failure in my lifetime,” he said, “has been that we still don’t abide by that basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.”

The Palin's gave much less than the 10% real Christians are supposed to give, why am I not surprised! For a family who wears their g-d on their sleeves it appears that the Palin's fall far short of what is required of a follower, while paying lip service to their moral turpitude.

Conservatives have no candidate....which explains why they are forced to pretend they like the VPILF.

Nice try Joey.

The average American gives 2% to charity.
Biden gave less than 1/4 of 1%.

The party that keeps claiming they want to help their fellow Americans and that we aren't doing enough sure does't practice what they preach.

Score Mikey! I never said anything about Average Americans. No,no no... I'm talking about you Holier-then-thou-Walking-On-Water-Who-Knows-What-Is-Best-For-Every-Friggin'-Body-Talking-In-Tongues Christians whose Book requires you blow-hard-mouth-breathers to fork over 10% of every-friggin'-thing... Or did you just rip that page out of your bible?

[James H. Bushart]

Joe....As must you, I find it ironic that for them to argue against the concept of "being my brother's keeper" has placed your Christian antagonists on the side of Cain.

Is that your best Jeremiah Wright (0:19) imitation?

So now you have become the judge of what "normal" and "expected" and "required" giving is in the Christian community.

As usual, you get it wrong again.

Better learn how to study the bible again James.

Ever heard of a rhetorical question being used to reveal a Truth?

Thing is that Mikey & his ilk want it both ways, they want to people to look up to them for their piety & beliefs but they also want to give their cronies like Bush & Palin a free ride and when we don't understand it is us who are wrong, what a joke.

Mikey, you are so full of crap your religion is like a pile of dirty rags.

Any righteousness of mine certainly is. Fortunately I don't have to rely on my own.

Who's giving free rides?

And who wants it both ways?

Obama who says one thing and does another or someone else?

BTW-you are wrong.

Mike...

While you have been wasting your time trying to convince some of us that we are wrong....your own state has gone Obama.

Unplug your computer and start knocking on doors. Your favorite Navy pilot is about to crash and burn, again.

Earth to James.

Wisconsin has been in Obama's column for some time.

Looks like a toss up in MO.

Better get busy.

Missouri will be just fine.

Historically, the Republicans in our state are more active in polling than actually voting. The Democratic candidate for Governor is doing quite well against his Republican competitor...which is the real indication as to which way our state will go.

You call yourself a conservative and that makes you happy?
