| 37. I don't think it's as much about charity as it is about being a parent |

I actually know a Democrat who was a foster parent- ran for office and talked about it during her campaign. One thing politicians always talk about is their families. The public likes to hear about families and considers parenthood a virtue. She's just playing mommy for the crowd.

Funny how Bachmann "Raised" 23 Foster Children But Was Only a Foster Parent for Little Over 7 Years |

In Jewish tradition, the best charity is anonymous. Bragging about ones charitable acts is unseemly. |
