The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless plans to give out movie tickets, passes to the Denver Zoo and the Museum of Nature and Science to homeless people during the Democratic Convention in Denver next month.

The Rocky Mountain News reports that many shelters will also extend their hours of operation and big screen televisions are being donated so that the homeless can watch the convention. And while backers say the plan is a humane way to care for the homeless, critics say it's just a way to hide them from media and visitors.

And some of the homeless are not buying in, either. One homeless woman in Denver said, "that sounds sweet and all, but I would really rather have a laundry voucher or a gift certificate to McDonald's." Another said, "I hate the movies, can't stand the zoo. Buy me breakfast?"

Just another political stunt BY Obama or FOR Obama...........so that his "STAR" wont' be dimmed by poor homeless people. This is, once again, an indicator of how really out of touch & elitist the democrats REALLY are...............

There you go, trying to reveal the Democrats again. Don't you understand that the Emperor is not wearing any clothes and the vast majority doesn't care?
I've detailed a means by which thousands of jobs could be created for our bluecollar workers and no one seems to care. Least of all the Democrats. The Democrats would lose thousands of their subjects if jobs were created for them so of course the Democrats aren't interested.

Do you not believe the homeless should be informed too ? After all maybe they would like some answers as to why they`re homeless.

casey, i think i agree with you LOL

instead of hiding the homeless so that they don't "dirty" the shot..........let them in.

and btw casey, MOST of the homeless already KNOW WHY they are homeless. (and most of them brought it on themselves)

Yes, some are homeless of their` own choosing. But there still has to be a reason behind it. Then there are those who are victims of trying to make an "honest" living in our` country today. I think you know what I mean.

yup casey, i do. there are some that are victims of their own stupidity & laziness and then there are probably some that are victims of things that were beyond their control.........

regardless, there is SO much government help to be had by the poor nowadays, there is really no excuse to be totally homeless......there are so many ways to get help.......

well then if something as stupid & insignificant as pride is standing in the way of having a roof over one's head, then they DESERVE to be homeless.

Is that the reason that American pride has been considered "stupid" by conservative standards for 8 years ?

Well, I remember my grandparents and mom talking about the Depression. It is true that some people are too proud to accept help. I'm not saying it's right, but my grandparents considered it HORRIBLE to accept help and a "bad mark" on their character. They did ANYTHING they could to put food on the table.
Maybe more folks should be like that now. Then we wouldn't have so many people living on the dole and expecting it to be their way of life.
