    Among seniors, though, the numbers are even better for Ryan: 50 percent favorable and 35 percent unfavorable. Fully one-third of seniors say they have a strongly favorable view of the Wisconsin congressman, while one-quarter have a strongly unfavorable view.


    What a disastrous VP pick!!!!

    {{{get a life??

    Oil was $33.

    Nice job.

    Awesome of you to neglect (or fail to comprehend) the loss of value in the USD as well.

    Complete fail. }}}

     

     

    I was merely citing your own post as a benchmark. I realize my mistake was in citing one of your posts to prove a point.

    Mrs
    Many want to govt to run private industries - put a boot on their necks to borrow a phrase from Obama. That way the govt has complete control of all of its peasants.
    They also want employees who flip burgers for a living to make $20 an hour. That way a meal would cost tge average little guy a pretty penny and ppl would make more $$ but have less buying power. Sounds like a real viable solution........insert HUGE Pinocchio nose

    So something doesnt work for me in your defense of Mitt.

    How could his income be less than 60M if he gave 7M to charity?

    Btw..most of what he gave as charity is tithing to his religion..not what most consider charity.

    Also, his family was quite well to do, you need to research his upbringing and where did you read he gave his full inheritance to BYU?

    Of course he "gave" to BYU, it was a tax write off and by that time he had crushed multiple companies and raided their piggy banks/debt loaded them so he could take in massive payouts via Bain.

    Yeah ole Mitt is just a humble, meager public servant..

    They may favor keeping Medicare as is, but seniors in our poll still prefer Romney by 13 pts in FL. The President lost them by 8 pts in 08.

    That's a CBS Poll.

    Because you say so, right?

    I mean, I think we should all mistake your viewpoints for fact.

    Nobody in America considers donating to churches "charity"!!!!

    Pretty much the whole thing..the sarcasm and negative comments.

    A little comment for the little bit of content you had in those two replies..

    What percent of religious folk tithe like Mitt does? Donating is not tithing..most people when they hear charitable contributions do not equate that to paying tithing to a church.

    Most of what Mitt does is tithing, in fact his numbers dont fully jive with a full tithe either..which I find interesting.

    See..a reply without personal sarcasm or bating comments.

    Really? How so?

    By "most people" do you mean you?

    Because tithing is in the bible.

    Donating is not tithing..

    Yes it is.

    Ok, do you know what the word tithe means?

    What percentage of all religions pays 10% to their church?

    What percent of people even know what the word tithe means?

    Mormons are encouraged to pay 10% of all earnings to the church every year based on the principle that God gave you the ability to earn the money.

    Mormons also are encouraged to skip two meals once per month (Usually breakfast and lunch) and donate at least the money you saved to a fund called 'Fast offerings'. That money is pooled together to help out the less fortunate people in your immediate area that attend church at the same time/place as you do with rent/mortgage, utility bills, etc.

    No matter how many times you insist it isn't a donation, it is.

    It is voluntary.

    It is charitable

    As a matter of law, it is a charitable contribution.

    Anything else you're saying is meant to deflect, spin, or detract from those facts.

    In Florida, 48 percent of seniors say Romney would do a better job on Medicare, versus 44 percent who say that about Obama (the Ryan pick was supposed to be particularly problematic in this state).

    * In Ohio, 49 percent of seniors say Romney would do a better job on Medicare, versus 43 percent who say that about Obama.

    * In Wisconsin, 49 percent say Obama would do a better job on Medicare, versus 46 percent who say that about Romney

    Wooooshhhh...that is the sound of you wiffing and missing at what I said.

    Where did I say tithing isnt a charitable contribution?

    Read the reply again..I said most people do not associate tithing with charitable contributions for the reason explained.

    What percentage of religions have their congregation tithe like Mitt does? 

    Do you know the origination of the word tithe and what it means?

    What percentage of the population knows what a tithe is and how Mitt classifies his tithe as a charitable contribution?

    I find his math to be interesting..but that was to be expected.

    who cares? You said: "most of what he gave as charity is tithing to his religion..not what most consider charity."

    Which has all sorts of facts behind it I'm sure.

    And, it isn't a broad generalization either.

    I'm guessing you think tithing is limited to Mormons or something.

    You failed to answer the question which COULD support your complaint..

    What is the origin of the word? Do you think most people understand what it means? What percentage of religions have a full tithe to their membership?

    So you are telling me that the voters in this country know that the reason why Mitt has a higher than average charitable contribution level is because he tithes as a Mormon?

    Really?

    Note the goal posts having wheels.

    First it was: most of what he gave as charity is tithing to his religion..not what most consider charity.

    After refusing 5 requests for any facts backing up the assertion, it then becomes:

    People telling the truth do that sort of stuff all the time.

    Wall, you are wasting your time with 14..He can't answer the questions because he doesn't think things through.

    I had him boxed in on the question.. He kept repeating the same answer, which didn't make sense.   Rush Limbaugh couldn't help him.

    Maybe he should have just kept his money in a mason jar in his back yard.
    What's the point of he gives 5, 10 or 20% to his church? Does that offend you? Sure it's a tax deduction - its in the tax code regardless of what voters think.
