The Homeless and Elections

Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley reports that a city census shows only twenty-four homeless people living in downtown Chicago!

At last the people of Chicago can thank President Bush for ending homelessness, since he was blamed for it previously. (You never hear about the homeless when a Democrat is President.)

The thing that concerns me is that Mayor Daley's father ran the Democratic Machine that found "just enough votes" at the last minute in Cook County for John Kennedy to win Illinois and the Presidential election. So, when the 2008 election rolls around, will Chicago have found thousands of "previously missed" homeless people who will vote for the Democratic candidate--not just twenty four? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

It's funny how people disappear but suddenly turn up to vote in Cook County--the homeless, the dead, the relocated, .... It's amazing--not that the Democrats cheat, mind you.

Anyway, ony twenty-four homeless in downtown Chicago.... The people who took that census must be the same ones who count Republican votes in the city. It sure sounds low.
