President Obama opened up a 9-point lead in the most recent Fox News poll. Looks like all the negative ads and character assassination tactics are working. Negative ads may be bad for the American political landscape, but they seem to be working for Obama, at least for now. Do you think Romney will lose the game of hardball -- or will he rebound and win just in time for the election?

Dave**Gay for Girls** 2012/08/10 18:59:19Mitt Romney will rebound
+36The Obama campaign is spending more than it's taking in on attack ads...Romney hasn't really begun to attack Obama and his campaign has plenty of cash on hand, September and October will see the onslaught against Obama begin and he'll be underfunded to respond.
"The LDS church donated a relatively insignificant $1 billion to charitable causes in the 23 year time span between 1985 and 2008, which accounts for 0.7% of the church's income. By contrast the American Red Cross spends 92.1 percent of its revenue directly addressing the physical needs of those it intends to help. Only 7.9 percent is spent on "operating expenses."
"The Mormon church is not above fleecing its poorest members. Recently, a prominent Mormon leader in a speech delivered worldwide to the church memberships titled, "Tithing -- a Commandment Even for the Destitute," stated, Quote: "One of the first things a bishop must do to help the needy is ask them to pay their tithing. Like the widow, if a destitute family is faced with the decision of paying their tithing or eating, they should pay their tithing." I attended Evangelist and Apostolic Churches, so I know how they operate.
But those who have seen the ads should have enough sense TO CONSIDER THE SOURCE.
Obies commericals tend to run on stations and at times his predominant welfare slgs will be viewing, and his liberal base.
LDS demands 10% tithing of income from each member. LDS use all member donations for self wealth, little to charity. Would you agree with this belief of LDS church.?

This is how Romney was trained, how he would run the U.S. You would vote for such a person.? Would you let your children starve for a greedy church.?
And up against the tightwad Obama....I'd defend Romney's donations any day....
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle gave $10,772 of the $1.2 million they earned from 2000 through 2004 to charities, or less than 1 percent, according to tax returns for those years released today by his campaign.
The Obamas increased the amount they gave to charity when their income rose in 2005 and 2006 after the Illinois senator published a bestselling book. The $137,622 they gave over those two years amounted to more than 5 percent of their $2.6 million income.

Obama and Biden’s Charitable Giving:
They Don’t Want to Spread Their Own Wealth Around
Filed under: 2008 Election,General — They’re happy to spread yours around, mind you. Just not their own:
Looking at Obama’s charitable giving in since 2000 based on his tax returns, we find that Obama consistently refused to follow his own advice to “spread the wealth” when he had the opportunity to do so. This is especially true in years when he made nearly $250,000 or more. . . . [F]rom 2000-2004, Obama’s charitable giving was less than 1 percent.
His contributions increased after his book deal, to a maximum of 6.1% of income in 2006.
Obama’s running mate, Joe Biden, was even stingier about spreading his wealth. When his tax records were released in September, they revealed that over the past decade he had only donated an average of $369 each year. In 2007, his charitable giving was only $995, or 0.3 percent of income in a year when his tax returns reported $319,853 in income.
By comparison, John McCain gave more than one-quarter of his income in 2006 and 2007 (28.6 and 27.3 percent respectively). And according to the New York Observer, since 1998, he has donated royalties on his books totaling more than $1.8 million.
