6. What is funny about it?
I'd bet when all is said and done that traditional, religious, GOP voters will have ended up donating more money than any other group.

These people donate HUGE amounts - particularly through their church groups.

I recall seeing studies that consistently showed conservatives tend to donate the most on an individual basis. Not sure if said studies are true, but either way, these people certainly donate very large amounts after catastrophe's like this.

Think that it had something to do with the conservative mindset that individuals are responsible for this kind of charity, while more progressive/liberal people tend to see it more as the role of government through tax dollars.
