The Haiti situation brings to mind the stereotypes of Democrats taking from the taxpayer and then handing it out to social programs. Republicans would rather do this sort of thing through private giving and on a local level. At least that was my working assumption. I figured Republicans give more to charity. So I did a quick search and came up with this link. The source doesn't at first glance, appear to be biased, but who knows what this guys agenda is. Anyway it says Republicans are more giving.
