If liberals are SOOO much more giving, then why?

You answered your own question: "whether the charity is to a church or not, it's still tax deductible. Red states give more, period. No way around it"

Because red states don't like to pay taxes! Which is why they receive more Federal money than they pay in! LMAO

Open mouth...insert foot

I'm not sure that liberals have EVER claimed to be "SOOO much more giving." Can you cite a source for this claim? Otherwise, you're just bashing yet another straw-man.

EDIT: Certainly "liberals claim to be for the poor" (though I'm not sure many liberals would actually assert that conservatives hate them). But the whole idea behind liberalism that the poor should benefit from organised public assistance, and not from private charity. While you could argue that giving less to charity (if indeed liberals do give less to charity) reflects poorly on them as individuals, but it certainly is in no way inconsistent with liberal political beliefs.

That stat has been debunked a lot. Among other things it includes tithes and other gifts to churches. That's not exactly "giving to charity" (well some of it is spent on charitable works but some is just spent for the churches operating expenses)

They claim to be so much more compassionate and caring by means of offering entitlements and welfare, but never in giving. It's a fact that conservatives/republicans give more in terms of charity.

because you've confused "tax deduction" with charity.

Your church, which only benefits you and your congregation is not a charity, it is just a tax deduction. Giving ten million dollars to the Romney campaign through a number of shell PACs and the Mormon church is tax deduction, not a charity.

Conservatives as a group give more of their income to charity than do liberals. Liberals are only charitable with other people's money (i.e. the government)

well the poverty rate is increasing, so i find it hard to believe that these charities are really working good sir....

Of course they are more giving. I dont ever think I heard one of them say that they give more of "their" money. It's your money they are the most charitable with. So technically they are not lying.

Forgive them for they not know what they speak.

It's common knowledge libs are takers, not givers.
