Oops! Mass. delegates forgot to feed homeless

NEW YORK - The spirit of compassion being touted by the GOP was missing in action yesterday as more than three-quarters of the Massachusetts delegation blew off a date to dole out meals for the homeless.

Just one of the Bay State's 83 delegates was on time for the event at the New York Rescue Mission and only 15 were on hand by the time meals were handed out at noon.

Delegates from Indiana were equally remiss as just eight of their 55 delegates showed for the event. <snip>

The event was one of several charity events organized by the RNC for delegates in keeping with the party's stated agenda of ``compassionate conservatism.'' Despite the low turnout, Rescue Mission spokesman Martin Bowman called the event a success. <snip>

3. Mass republicans are the finest

examples of POS there is in the world. romney is a jerk and was given the time during the convention to solidify the Mormon vote. Not because he had anything to say. He is just a fool. and some of the delegates from my area, in Mass, are really idiots. There are about five staties and they all have an IQ of 70. God help us.

5. Despite the low turnout ...

Another "Catastrophic Success" !
