I don't see how Dan and Droopy think this is in any way comparable to the fact that the vast majority of Romney's donors are wealthy millionaires who are expecting political favors when elected. Nearly half of Obama's donations come from small donors (less than $200) compared to Romney which is something like 15-20% I think.


As of April 30th from http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/index.php:

Romney 12%
Obama 44% (down from 50+% probably from influxes of major donors like the recent George Clooney fifteen million dollar fundraiser)

I'm not a fan of Maher, Romney or Obama. Maher is just the anti-religion rhetorist of the three. That's the only difference that I can see.

Bill Maher is a member of PETA.

Mitt Romney strapped his dog to the roof of a car in a pet carrier for a 12 hr car ride.

Another difference you should see.

Do I care about which clubs rich men belong to?

No.

Maher would kill his own unborn children out of convenience. He's more concerned about the life of dogs. Romney would as well, given the right circumstances. Obama thinks killing his unborn grandchildren is a blessing for his daughters.

Or, one might more accurately say:

If one of Maher's daughters said she did not want to carry a pregnancy to term, he would raise no opposition to her getting the necessary medical clearance for a termination. Obama wants his daughters to have the right to make that decision too.


It is, of course, always a decision for the pregnant woman to make whether she wishes to seek a termination, and if it ever isn't, it ought to be.

If you have a case (and I don't dispute there is a case to be argued on your side of the abortion question), there is no need to write in a ridiculously exaggerated way.

(For the avoidance of time-wasting, please note that the revised passage above is written on the basis that the women in question cannot simply get a termination on their own say-so without medical approval. If the decisions to allow such medical approval are not being made as the law provides, then they ought to be.)

Droopy, as a newcomer to the board I must admit to not fully understanding your posting style. I am, however, willing to be educated both on your intent and on the substance of Mormon philanthropy and humanitarian aid. Perhaps you can provide a list of projects and offerings that fit the category...

Wow that wasn't hyperbolic at all. You aren't a one issue voter are you?

It is the way I see it.

Not a one issue voter, but abortion is an important issue for me. I can't for the life of me determine who I'm going to vote for this time around. I'd just sit it out, but I believe I have a moral obligation to pick one and vote.

I know plenty of Catholics who will vote for anyone but Obama, and are appalled that I'm not there. His poor judgement on the birth-control mandate, combined with his statement that abortion is a blessing for his daughters, did him in for most Catholics. (Going-to-church Catholics, not Catholics-in-name-only Catholics).
