Oopsy daisy! "Compassionate" delegates blow off the homeless
I don't normally quote from the Boston Herald, but doesn't this just speak volumes? (Also notice how they own up to their snubbing the homeless with the "transportation" thing. It's never these prick's fault.)

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.
Massachusetts GOP officials said the event had been cancelled by the Republican National Convention, but a spokesman for the Rescue Mission said it was not. One delegate told the Herald officials said there was a ``transportation problem'' to the event.

And God told His children: "I love you. Play nice."

Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!

3. Perzactly. And the thing was doubtless a photo-op to begin with.
Assclowns.

5. They'll hope tomorrow they went to help the homeless
rather than be party to this Nazifest.
