Where Did Turkeys Go? (Food Bank Suspects Conyers Staff of not Delivering Food to Needy)

Posted on 01/05/2005 6:31:39 PM PST by freespirited

Here is a link to a story about a food bank in Detroit that gave 720 pounds of turkey to Rep. Conyers staff to deliver to the needy for Thanksgiving . . . and now suspects that the staff did not make good on its promise. Interesting story, but can't post here due to source.

As with any socialist (i.e., Democrat) they regard themselves above anyone else.....especially the poor.

In a related story, BigSkyFreeper was quoted on an online news forum as saying "That turkey won't fly" when asked to comment on the ongoing shenanigans of voter fraud in Ohio.

Was Michael Moore seen in the area? Seven hundred pounds of turkey would make a nice sandwich for lunch.

Don't worry, Conyers will find enough "poor" people to say they got turkeys from him. He will give away our tax dollars to them (in some form or another) as inducement (a bribe) to get them to say they got turkeys.

Nothing like this will bring him down.

So here is my question.

Why would a 'Feed the Hungry' group give ANY congressman or senator the turkeys to deliver to 'the people' to make the congressman or senator look good?

Okay - when Conyers stands up to challenge the Ohio electors, every Republican Rep should start "gobbling". Wouldn't that make a great soundbite?
