"Statistically, conservatives donate more money and time to charities than liberals"
And how exactly was this 'statistic' measured?
Let me guess - if you take away dontations from Bill Gates, all of the Hollywood elite, and Paul Newman, then, statistically, this statement has some chance of being slightly accurate.
The fact that any of us even know who JTP is should be all you need to know about how well the GOP campaign was run over the past 2 months.

How about this one then?
Unless you disagree that the majority of firearms owners are conservatives.

I didn't hear any plumbers deouncing him.
I say Obama should place higher taxes immediately on all plumbers.

Fair enough. I haven't taken the time to dissect the other study, so I shouldn't have relied upon it.
In any case, it's as valid as yowolabi's un-cited opinion that conservatives are against others benefiting from their money.

All I see are numbers and not how they came up with that. OK well in 2007 people that were registered as Dems were more likely to give money to charity than Rep's (83% to 75%).
So there ya go. My line is backed up as much as the one you linked to. Just saying its so does not make it so. That and then on top of that you try and assume that gun owners are conserative while non-gun owners are not. yet again you back that up with nothing. I owned a gun but am not a republican/conserative.

Hey, a little off topic but I own a 1975 Marlin 336.
How did you come by your handle?

My middle name is Marlin and I was born in 1975.
I use to own a 1975 Monza but no 75 Marlin?

You know, they say that 50% of all statistics are made up.
BTW-I'm curious how this poll was conducted, where it was conducted, how big the group polled was. This is just an article in the WSJ drawing its own conclusions from a book someone else published.

You know, you can look up the book that was cited in the article and find out the methodology. The article lists a book, and a person involved with the group that conducted the survey. The information you're looking for exists.
Your glib little made-up statistic doesn't work as an analogy since you aren't referencing a specific survey and there is no-one you can reference for it. You're just being willfully obtuse. If you want to know the methodology used in the survey I cited, pick up a copy of "Gross National Happiness" at your local library and look it up.
In general, gun owners tend to be conservative, but see my reply to TallBill where I acknowledge that this is a fair criticism.

I am not surprised with Republican Hannity losing so bad.
I will celebrate the day Hannity is kicked off the air.
After 12 years this vile team is broken up:
11-24-2008Hannity and Colmes split up
Fox News announced that after 12 years, Alan Colmes will be leaving the top-rated "Hannity & Colmes" at the end of the year.
Colmes will remain a Fox commentator, and continue hosting "The Alan Colmes Show" on Fox News Radio. Also, he's developing a weekend show.
So will it just be the "The Sean Hannity Show" (as on the radio) or take the name of the weekly Fox show, "Hannity's America?"
We?re very sorry to see Alan reach this decision but we understand his desire to seek other creative challenges in his career.
