This is from a few weeks ago. Things are much better now.

Democratic National Convention to leave hundreds homeless
“I work all day for $60,” Eric Jones, who predicts that each night in his motel room could end up costing his full daily income, told the Los Angeles Times. “Why am I going to pay $60 for a room? Then I won’t have enough to spend on food or anything.”

He should be speaking at the convention. Come to think of it; how is a homeless person going to be displaced by the convention?

How about sending the homeless to Pelosi and Reid’s houses? They’re so concerned abut the poor. Aren’t they? Just like Barry worries about his brother in the hut.

Wait? I thought homelessness only occurred when a Republican was president?

Yup,that's what happened when the Rat Convention was held in Boston.Mayor “Mumbles” Menino cleared out all the homeless.Of course,if it was the *Republican* Convention being held there Mumbles would have shipped in homeless from the entire Eastern time zone.

This is SOP for Democrats, who are the biggest hypocrites around when it comes to “compassion”. Rush ridiculed the Dems for sweeping the streets of the homeless when the DNC was in NYC years ago. “Snerdly” held some hilarious Man on the Street interviews on the subject, and “Frog Man Henry” provided the theme song “Lookin’ for a Home.”

Their concern is motivated only because they know the WSJ and Fox News will be watching.

Notice that their plan to house the homeless also includes putting them back out on the street a day after their convention ends.

What was that about Don't Rain on My Parade?

Weather Underground is predicting rain and thunder storms every day next week in Charlotte with a 50% chance of rain Thursday night. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of scumbags.

Slapping a bandaid on it and spraying perfume around isn’t going to change anything.

In the good old days homeless were arrested on vagrancy charges and sent to jail. The cities were clean back then.
