I'm not a republican but it's a fact.

Thanks. I just read the first link. The takeaway seems to be that there's not a significant difference between liberals and conservatives when it comes to giving to charity, but maybe the difference lies between "moderates" vs conservatives and liberals.

Still, none of this supports the idea that conservative people wouldn't give a nickel to help starving children or support any cause. I get that a lot of conservatives give money to churches. But a lot of churches do work to try helping the poor.

The idea that one whole group of people from a political party is just evil and greedy, just seems ridiculous.
