If Tom Delay became homeless and asked for your help...

[valis]

Would you give him a few bucks?

[name not needed]

1. I'd kick him in the nuts

Of course, I wouldn't wait for him to become homeless first.

[FuzzySlippers]

3. .

:rofl:

[expatriot]

2. I would buy him a veggie footlong from Subway

and give it to him and say, "It's vegan, Tom."

[Seabiscuit]

4. I'd tell him to get a real job for the first time in his life and that his

days of receiving "handouts" are over. If he squawked about it I'd just tell him: "Get over it, asswipe!"

[valis]

5. I'll buy him a Bill Clinton shaped icicle...

[Seabiscuit]

7. Then tell him to...

use it to "go fuck yourself".

[Roland99]

6. I'd tell him to contact a local church.

[Warren Stupidity]

i give urine soaked bums help

so it isn't much of a stretch to give poor hypothetical homeless delay some help either.

[iamjoy]

8. I Would, But...

I would make him watch a bunch of movies, like Grapes of Wrath. And Farenheit 911.

You know, kind of like those faith-based organizations shoving the bible down homeless people's throats along with dinner.

[BrklynLiberal]

9. I had a friend who once said about someone he despised..

"I wouldn't pee in his mouth if he was dying of thirst."
That seems appropriate in this case.

:evilfrown:

None of those other hypothetical homeless guys have done the damage to the country and to the number of other people as Delay, or are as basically evil as Delay is. I have no sympathy whatsoever for him. Think of him as the Duke brothers in "Trading Places". If he ended up as a homelss bum in the street it would be a much better fate than he deserves.

[Left Is Write]

10. I would not give him money.

But I would donate food and money to the local shelter, and tell Tom where to find it. I would buy him a newspaper so he could look for a job, and if he needed a ride to the job interview I'd give him the ride or a bus ticket.

[amazona]

11. no of course not

Sheesh. There are six billion people in the world. If we help them all, without regard to their histories and their likelihood of causing harm if they get back on their feet, we bankrupt ourselves while destroying the world. It is right to make priorities in our giving. People who give to every bum who asks for a hand-out will soon be asking for hand-outs themselves.

[benburch]

12. I'd call the police and ask that they arrest him for vagracy. nt

[tnlefty]

13. I'd give him some long bootstraps t o pull himself up with.

Then I'd give him a job application from a pest control company.

[DS1]

14. I'd take him to a local diner

give him a meal, and tell him what a fucking asshole he was, and how many people were denied meals under his "leadership" and how many people were fucked out of their retirement re: Enron.

[valis]

15. I'll ask him why he does not want to work. Lazy bastard.

[DS1]

17. Best answer yet

*bows down*

[Hugin]

16. Most certainly I would.

Where there's life there's hope...

And Schadenfreund is priceless.

[JVS]

18. I don't think that such a scenario could possibly occur.

Those in power tend to cling to their wealth and power.

[MuseRider]

19. I would put him

to work cleaning horse stalls and doing all the hard, sweaty stuff I would rather not have to do then I would feed him a meager meal and offer him the same the next day. I would work him like other people are now having to work, long, hard days and give him just enough food to get by. It would be interesting to see how he likes it. If someone else came along who was needy I would then cut him loose and tell him it is just the way our "new" system works. No references either.

[buff2]

20. Hell NO!!!

I would tell him "I don't believe in hand outs".

[KeepItReal]

21. No money for him, but I'd tell him Wal-Mart is hiring

<EOM>

[11 Bravo]

22. After making sure there wasn't a water fountain in sight ...

I'd offer him a wasabi ball and tell him it was a green gumdrop.

[valis]

27. Hmmm... wasabi....

[auntAgonist]

23. no.

I might make him a sandwich, but NO .. on second thought forget the sandwich.

[fudge stripe cookays]

24. I'd...

kick the bastard in the face.

Then I'd laugh. A LOT. After all, it's MY state he's helped to ruin the name of.

FSC

[gmoney]

25. I'd send him up to check my attic for critturs

Then nail the hatch shut... he can live on whatever critturs he finds.

[iconoclastic cat]

26. I'd buy him some crack.

[progmom]

28. yes

the Bible has some nice words on this:
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

[valis]

31. I'm wondering if Delay would learn something from encountering

a generous person who does not treat him like a piece of garbage when he's homeless...

[NYdemocrat089]

29. Yes

I might not like the man, but it is my belief that all people are deserving of help no matter what my opinion is of them.

[valis]

30. That is remarkable...

[sakabatou]

32. Money no, food maybe

[sparky_in_ma]

33. My dream scenario

I'd put him up in my spare room and give him meals. When I got out of work he would have to help me deliver and install campaign signs, for democratic candidates. Maybe a few days of working a 12 pound sledge hammer would give him an appreciation of what most people have to do to eat.
