Democrat -- the Scrooge party

Mulhollanddose · 12-24-2005, 11:17 AM

A liberal lawyer in Los Angeles is threatening to throw nearly three dozen homeless center residents back on the streets because of something he finds indefensible: The center's founder is a Republican and voted for President Bush.

Roughly 30 men, women and children may be forced to leave Dome Village – a 20-year non-profit center for support and housing of the homeless – and will have to try to survive on the streets because of a punitive rent hike imposed by the landlord right before Christmas.

Milton Sidley, a retired attorney and landlord, said he discovered earlier this month that Ted Hayes, founder of Justiceville/Homeless, USA, was a Republican.

Naw, he's just 'seen the light' and is now embracing the First Republican Rule of Aquisition: profit above all else.

Maybe you could convert all of those homeless people and children to become Republicans, you know, explain the benefits of tax cuts for billionaires while slashing student loans and Medicare, etc...

Fock me running.......

I'm glad we can all lay aside our differences on the eve of a day of the year where peace and goodwill are promoted.

Grow up. Seriously.

That is it. Santa is making his stop at the VRWC headquarters to pick up his wire-tap information a little later. I will make sure you get nothing more than a lump of coal.

Witty retort there, G. Gordon.

You should go on over and tell Ted Hayes all about it. He lives there with the homeless. You can't miss him. He looks like a rastafarian, dreadlocks, the whole bit...Maybe he can help you out with the faulty belief system that you have bought blindly.

"Democrats are the party of the poor"...lol...Ya, they make and keep them that way.

One dude's action does not the whole Democrat party make.......

I have some thoughts. You say you are a friend of this guy, right? Well I started looking into this Dome Village.......

This appears to be a rather large piece of property. Hayes does not own it, why? He was being charged 2,500 a month for a very nice parcel of prime property from the owner. This, from a private landowner's perspective, in prime-real-estate SoCal, this appears to be ridiculously low. From the looks of the pictures, 18,000 is probably more reasonable for this parcel.

Now Hayes accepts donations, he has a store where he sells Dome Village products, he's been paying $2500 month rent on property that is probably worth 10 times that, and he hasn't had money to buy this property prior to now? What's he doing with the donations, etc.? His overhead seems really low.......

Don't get me wrong, I admire Hayes, but something about this story doesn't feel right.....like your link is not the whole truth......

Ted Hayes has a right to believe whatever he wants, no matter how misguided I might consider it. And I know what he looks like. One of those token black Republicans that you guys love to parade around.

I've been "shelter challenged" myself at one time, does that make me an authority?
