Please note:

This blog (which originated during the 2012 Romney campaign) consists of my opinions, and my opinions alone. Despite the election loss, I've continued the blog, and write a post when strong feelings drive me to it. In spite of the blog titIe, I DO NOT speak for my church nor for other members of my church. If anything I say ever contradicts LDS doctrine .... forget me and go with the Church.

Oh Joe ..... Really?


Vice President Joe Biden, who "always says what he means", offered the following in his low meant-to-invoke-drama tone, in the debate with Congressman Paul Ryan: 

"My religion defines who I am, and I’ve been a practicing Catholic my whole life. And has particularly informed my social doctrine. The Catholic social doctrine talks about taking care of those who — who can’t take care of themselves, people who need help."



Really?  The Bidens reported an income of $349,000 in 2009.  Yet during the previous ten years, according to ABC News, they averaged only $369 annually in charitable donations.  We're talking of an average of barely over .1%.  Curiously, that amount did jump up in 2011.  But I'm sure that had nothing to do with public image .....

He also said, regarding his church's stand on abortion,  "I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews, and I just refuse to impose that on others" ....



Yet, he believes in imposing his socialist views of wealth redistribution on others ...... others who don't believe that government dependency is healthy .... and who give a HECK of a lot more than .1% to charity ..... even when no one is looking.  


Does the word .... hypocrite .... come to mind?
