Other than that, you are spot on with Donald Trump Corleone.

Oh PO, i definetely agree with you that no one is under obligation to give $44,000 a year to their church (remember my views on tithing). But the article (on Newsmax about GOP Candidates taxes) included a quote from Cruz which sounded like an omission that he gave nothing to his church. Check it out.

Cruz was responding to Hucksterbee's criticism on not giving his 10% tithe. He admitted that he hasn't always given enough. He didn't make up excuses, he owned it. That's what I like about Ted Cruz.

Anyway, the issue is showing us that you aren't cursed by not giving 10%.

Huck Hucksterbee came out of the closet showing what a petty, jealous man he really is. He thinks he is entitled to the Christian vote but Iowa wanted Cruz.

Ted Cruz has fought so much for our American freedom, if that is all he had done, it would be enough.

On another note, as this is a Donald Trump thread, I have joked quite a bit calling him Donald Trump Corleone. I didn't realize how true that statement really is.

This is some of the information that the Democrats will produce if he is able to clinch the nomination. They will bury him in his own dirt. The other possibility is that, because he is not a consistent conservative, they will sit on it as he is actually helping the Democrats. Trump meeting with Bill Clinton before he announced is suspect.

Trump swam in mob-infested waters in early years as an NYC developer
But there is `another aspect to his success that he doesn’t often discuss. Throughout his early career, Trump routinely gave large campaign contributions to politicians who held sway over his projects, and he worked with mob-controlled companies and unions to build them.

How Close Was Donald Trump To The Mob?
If Donald Trump wants to be a serious candidate for president, we deserve to know more about his business with mass murderers whose plunder of public and private funds added up to billions.
