Yes, that’s why Romney gave $ 4 million to charity on the latest released tax return.

Also, for all the do-gooders who want the government to do charity, over taxation could be called stealing as well. We know that’s against divine law.

St. Vincent de Paul to Mother Teresa, charity is best done by the religious.

I went to Catholic Schools as many here have, they had to run things on a tight budget, some public schools do to but it’s clear which many consider to be better at educating.

And better at discipline too! My nuns were tough, let me tell you.

Just typical nastiness from the left. Can’t say anything positive about their candidate so they have to dig into decades old remarks.

Wonder what’s in Obama’s transcripts he’s trying so desperately to hide.

So that less babies will die. If the economy improves, which it will continue to do under Obama, less mothers and fathers will experience economic anxiety about actually raising a child and decide for abortion. Romney’s policies would push for even more inequality, which is bad for the economy in the long term. Look at actual wage growth (adjusted for inflation) in the last 30 years compared to growth in company profits. A sad story. No wonder our economy is limping.

I did not hear Romney say he despised the poor. Never. like killing the unborn in the womb?
You are making a lot of assumptions here. We pro-Romney people care about the poor. We actually get our hands dirty doing it. We don’t expect the government to do it for us.

The job of government is not to help the poor, that is the job of the people in the Church. I know many churches, Catholic and Protestant that offer the poor a place to shower, get bus tickets, feed them, provide them shelter. They believe in giving the poor a hands up, not a ticket into dependence.

The place where I volunteer, Our Lady’s Inn, is home to homeless mothers and pregnant women. They are taught life skills, caring for children, nutrition, quit-smoking programs. The moms are expected to follow a code of conduct. They can stay there as long as they need to. Many of them are working. We give housewarming gifts to those who finally get homes of their own.

There is no way the government could personally change a person’s heart the way another human can.

Donate a can of good beef stew to your St. Vincent de Paul Society every week. They do more for the disenfranchised than an anonymous check.

Bless you for helping the poor! I certainly don’t mean that if the goverment helps then the Church doesn’t have to! I believe the Catholic Church is the biggest charity on the planet! Amazing! Thanks to people like you. And you can bet that there are some Obama supporters working alongside you. There are both Republican and Democrat Christians - even Catholics!

I’m careful about which charity I give to. I like those that have 10% or less in overhead, and where I can know my money is being spent.

Government has 81% overhead, and you can’t really know if their using the money the way it’s supposed to. Social Security and Medicare payments are going into the general fund.😦

Oh, yes, Obama is Mr. Charity, trying to assault religious liberty that helps millions around the world while the Secularists have done virtually nada and are funded with tax programs, over-taxation could be called stealing.

There are plenty of examples of Romney being very kind to the infirmed. That 14 year old who was suffering from cancer who he faithfully visited for one.

We know Barck sometimes doesn’t even help out his own family. And that’s pretty obvious.

And how do we know about Romney’s statement about “milking cows” that he wasn’t thinking of some point about “Teach a man to fish.”

Right! Even Catholic charities can be badly managed regarding their overheads and actual charity operations.

The Democrat’s pet, Planned Parenthood performs more abortions almost year in and year out. So, it really doesn’t do any good when faced with the fact.

Let alone, the Democrats are largely for open borders, okay if a large family comes in. Let alone, immigration reform.

Rev. Childress says abortion has hurt the African American population by 1/4, 25%, I don’t know if that is so but at this rate, we see that Hispanics, by religion less likely to get abortions, become a bigger minority in the USA than African Americans who presently are at about 13% of the population but by 2030, some time in the future, they could actually drop to the 1960 percentage of 10%.

This really shows love for minorities doesn’t it?

Nasty Op-ed piece that thinks it can read Romney’s mind.

Again you’re missing the point. This is not about reading Romney’s mind, but about the obvious fact that Romney has never had to deal with life’s inconveniences and everyday economic struggles.

I think we’ve finally reached the tipping point where the takers are equal in numbers to the makers. If you rely on the government for your living and don’t pay taxes, then you want the government to increase in size and strength so as to keep the checks rolling in. It’s just a numbers game now and it’s only going to get worse.

But you wouldn’t think peoples’ allegiance would come so cheaply. I can sort of imagine the well to do being grateful for their “cash for clunkers” subsidies, which ran into thousands of dollars, but is it really possible in this country to buy womens’ votes for $4-$8/month worth of contraceptives?:confused:

Perhaps. But if Ann Romney’s recount of how they lived when they were first married is to be credited, he’s no stranger to it.

And the keyword to your statement is “can”. Any charity “can” be badly managed.

Did you think I was implying more?

Christine is careful when she chooses a charity to support and so checks how their dollars are spent. I do likewise. My comment went to the fact that even some Catholic charities are badly managed. 🤷
 
There are a number of incidences that Romney has been very personable in helping people.

We are sure going to read about that from the mainstream media NOT.
The latest Romney Ryan chant kerfuffle is another example of where it has been shown NBC is out and out untruthful.

Just like NBC edited to George Zimmerman’s 911 tape to make it appear to have racist overtones.

Don’t Trust The Mainstream Media.

Romney would help the poor more with economic job growth.
