They don't see it and they don't want to see it. It ruins their little MSNBC-sponsored diatribe.

Honorable man?!!!! I'm at a loss for words right now.

Yesterday, people were complaining that liberals wanted Trump to donate his stupid wager to the Red Cross -- as if it were a bad thing.

Today, a political figure makes a donation that is purely political and makes the whole world know about it -- and it is a good thing.

I've donated money to the Red Cross, too. You want me to brag about it?

Even though it is in their face, the left will still try to deny it.

I'd like to vote early, myself if that is possible.

“Romney and his wife, Ann, gave 29.4 percent of their income to charity in 2011, donating $4,020,772 out of the $13,696,951 they took in. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama gave 21.8 percent of their income to charitable organizations last year, donating $172,130 out of the $789,674 they made.”

Romney definitely gave more (and at higher percentage). Of course Romney made 17 times more than Obama. The vast majority of what Romney gave went to the Mormon Church (80% of what he gave in 2009/10).

Romney

Romney took a venue that had already been booked, changed from campaigning to donating, got people to donate goods and you lefties call that a bad thing.

I've never seen so many moronic posts on City Data as I have since Sandy came to town.
Romney brought food in and staged the event to appear generous and caring by his own campaign's admonition.
