Its better to give money with a open heart anyway.  Most conservatives give money out of guilt. 

Actually, research tends to point the other way.... Marketing is more effective on liberals when it focuses on the suffering people are going through.  While it works better on republicans when it focuses on a communal duty to do right by your community.


Although this may be due to a ceiling effect because religious people in general do give more.  Religious correlating of course with conservative.


Most reserch studies have such a small sample size that they are pretty much useless due to the large margin of error.

and here I thought it was supposed to be conservatives who rejected widely approved and accepted research on the basis of political movtives.

Meh, somewhat figured as much by your generally feckless seemingly off the top of your head responses, but it's fun to point this stuff out with facts, because even if the person doesn't want to admit it... you can usually tell when they realize deep down they don't have a leg to stand on.

You should note, compassion and guilt really basically the same thing. (also, liberals make more on average then conservatives.)

How is me pointing out the margin of error in research a top of my head respose if most people don't even have a clue what the margin of error is when it comes to research.

Because research tends to have these things called confidence intervals that are basically margin of errors that account for sample size.  First thing you learn about in research methods.

Oh... and for the Koch Brothers...
