It all depends - on the nature of the charity, the people involved, and their world view.

Of course, I want to take care of those causes which advance conservatism, without involving our totalitarian government. Why punish those organizations which had nothing to do with electing a Marxist government?

But if I smell even the slightest whiff of a Demonicrat member or agenda, the cash register closes and locks tight.

Examination would be a good idea--regardless of who's in office. (Really, should I consider donating to a left-leaning charity under a Romney administration or even something like the second coming of Reagan?)

Besides asking if the cause itself is worthy--"hmm, should I donate to the Absolutely All Abortions Advocacy Association?"--and how well the organization handles the money, I'd look at the "people" and the "worldview" (your words and my thoughts align).

One consideration in particular is how entwined with organization is with or how supportive the organization is of Democrats and the like. I don't see how someone can vote for an Obama for president without significant thought problems (like incredible ignorance, poor motives, or willful stupidity), insanity, or evil. Why should I trust such a person with my money?
