Annoying.
My opinion is that if one endorses a particular Party, they should know and understand that party's platform. Rarely do I pose a question I have not researched beforehand and so I am quite amused when I can defend your position better than you. Instead of "tuckering" why not address the thread? Is it so intimidating to understand the issues before us from both parties? How can one make an educated decision from a partisan position?

Make no mistake, 98% of us do not have a friend in the White House, we are covered under the YOYO Plan, nothing more.

As far as the GOP is concerned, the homeless can go eat sh!it and die, and that's how they see the rest of us too.

Though I agree with you unless Obama starts dealing with specifics GOP will take White House.

Obama better start talking about things like you stated

But he better get the message out there . He seem's not the same as month's ago.

That's an excellent question and I'm certain if you started a thread to discuss this many would join in and comment. The topic of this thread however is -

Does the Republican Party have a platform to address the rising number of homeless citizens?

Probably not but I wouldn't count on my part or the Democrats to help out the homeless people.

We as citizens should do it for our own cities. If nobody here does it themselves, then you need to start!

Thank you for confirming what I said. You bait people, and all you care about is one-upping, rather than finding out the information to help others.

Nice.

Now that you've established the fact that you appreciate those who research both parties platforms, allow me to ask - when will you answer the thread topic or do you intend to "tucker" us all night? If you have information by all means present it so that we can debate the merit of the GOP's plan and agenda to help the Homeless. If nothing else you will have presented many (by the poll thus far) with information they do not have, or have not seen.

The thread topic is - Does the Republican Party have a platform to address the rising number of homeless citizens?

Interesting. This thread has nothing to do with Senator Obama and instead asks -

Does the Republican Party have a platform to address the rising number of homeless citizens?

From some of the posts on here I believe they have a solution that will result in a final conclusion to the issue.
