Sounds like someone doesn't like Mormons.
This why Romney will lose the election, no doubt about it.

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.

Is that the point?
I think you are not following my posts, are you intentionally looking for things to whine about tonight?
Read the flow of the comments..not just the last one and try to pull this again.

The comments are there, you seem capable of reading and comprehending.
If you have specific, legit questions please feel free to ask. If you are looking to take a shot at me, I will not entertain that in multiple threads.
Just for funzies, how do you conclude that I take issue with the tithe he pays?
Please give specific, detailed comments I made and why you drew that conclusion..
Thanks!

Not alot to ask if you want to have a proper discssion

It most certainly is and if you don't agree take it up with the IRS.
Your personal opinion on the matter is well worthless. I'll bet Romney paid hundreds of times more tax than you did. Did he use more services? Put more wear and tear on the roads? Nope, he subsidized you.
Let's talk about obama's failed economy......................

Wall, you are wasting your time with 14..He can't answer the questions because he doesn't think things through
What question?
I'm not the one refusing to provide the slightest bit of evidence for my assertion.
I had him boxed in on the question.. He kept repeating the same answer, which didn't make sense.
Huh?

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

Does he break any laws by deducting what he gives to his church whether the church requires it or not? NO NO NO
bunch of cry babies around here.
And the 13.9% he paid in taxes adds up to alot more in revenue than 12 people who make less and pay a higher rate bc his rate is based on capital gains.
Too many ppl watching MSNBC I think

Well that just breaks my heart..
Not as much as your condescending attitude and intentionally looking for things to complain about when they dont exist.
You were wrong to draw the conclusion and especially the post on the top of this page...very classy to make that baseless comment.

The majority of tithing funds are used to construct and maintain LDS facilities, provide LDS education, offer social welfare for LDS members in need, or assist LDS endorsed causes.
LDS has assets of 30+ billion with 6-7 billion in annual(mainly tithing) revenue...
One small correction mellow, the welfare system is open to non members as well if they ask for help.

Does that change anything to help the tithe come closer to a charity? Church buildings are often used as refuge in disasters as well.

He needs 270, right? Explain to me how he's going to get near that number while losing CA and FL and also struggling to gain ground in eleven swing states (I think it's eleven?). He's gonna get killed, electorate-wise. Popular vote-wise? Who cares.

For 18 months, I've been predicting a victory by Obama. I now predict a landslide.

What have you been smoking or snorting for the pass 18 months?...lol
Look as an independent if obama was doing well...meaning the economy was vibrant, the deficit was being paid down, unemployment was at a low level and not high as it is now then for sure he would have my vote this nov.
But as things stand currently, any honest person can clearly see he has failed miserably and because I haven't been smoking or snorting anything like you for the past 18 months my head is clear in making a rational decision.
My decision is based on performance and so because obama hasn't performed satisfactorily he doesn't deserve a 2nd term.
When you perform satisfactorily you get rewarded but when you perform poorly you get rejected...it is as simple as that.
Lastly I want to say...are you better off now than you were three and a half years ago? If not, vote for my 2 guys below, I thank you and the country will thank you if you do. 
Romney and Ryan in 012!

And why shouldn't he get killed? Obama's campaign has out thought him every step of the way. I'm not voting for Obama, but this is twice now where Obama has pulled off a mind-blowingly superior campaign to his opposition. Romney's gonna get killed. He didn't even have the customary raise in the polls after he announced his running mate (4% right, he went up just 2%?). Then he goes and adds Paul Ryan to the ticket, who isn't helping is case at all. He only appeals to the far right, who's support Romney already had! Makes no sense. Loser ticket all the way.

Anent,
Your statement is completely untrue.
The Ryan pick has moved WI to "toss up" and in a poll released this week Romney is ahead in Michigan.
I'm not clear which polls you are referring to.
Finally, the Obama campaign has spent $120 million to be down 2 in the Gallup tracking poll.
Obama is spending more than he's taking in.
If that is "out thinking" Romney, then words have no meaning.

Great, he's got a 10 point edge with a tiny minority of people, half of whom won't vote. You're right about Florida. That's not certain yet. I guess we'll see come November, but my official stance is that Obama comes close to 400, perhaps surpassing it.

I'm not going by the polls - things are too far out for them to matter. MI will stay a toss up to the end. Ryan has hurt his ticket. As I said, he barely registered the customary increase after bringing him on (half the average increase). Obama will need to sleep with his daughter for Romney to win this election.
