The Difference Between Repulicans and Democrats

By Anonymous:



A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain. She insisted she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and had few college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened, then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"

She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. She only takes easy classes, never studies, and barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."

Her wise father then asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office, ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA, and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea! How would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the Republican party."

If anyone has a better explanation of the difference between Republican and Democrat I'm all ears.

Oh the Horror!

Guliani throws support to McCain. Please also note the sign on the podium. The REAGAN LIBRARY. If that isn't a final slap in the face then I don't know what is. Rudy has thrown his weight behind the candidate least like Reagan who remains.

This is very telling of Guliani - McCain is a REP in party affiliation only - these two agree on one thing (gratefully): A PROACTIVE policy against radical Islam and the overall War against Global Terrorism. On everything else under the sun John McCain votes, acts, and talks like a big government liberal.



I suppose there had to be some sort of promise of a Vice Presidential position for Rudy - right??? This is the only possible explanation, albeit a superficial and downright LAME explanation. Is this what America has become? A back room dealing popularity contest that reminds us of our Jr. High School student council or homecoming campaigns? What about Principle? Ethics? The Constitution and the Founding Father's guide to creating a nation of, for and by the people? (and not the Government). Then again - I guess the fact that the DEMOCRAT party still exists is evidence that enough people have dropped these certain inconveniences from the public consciousness.

This also helps explain the continuing campaign of Mike Huckabee. He has no doubt cut some VP or cabinet deal with the Senator from Arizona, as he has no chance at garnering the REP nomination, and after taking votes from Fred Thompson he now siphons off some Romney votes.

Okay... so in what back room deal did this whole spectacle transpire? And are we really going to be left choosing between John McCain and Hillary Clinton for the minor post of PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES??? This from the populace clamoring for "Change" and ending "Politics as Usual" and getting "some new blood in the political process??" What a crock!

I wrote a little conservOpunk song called "Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, a vote for Change." This little move by Rudy is making that joke of a scenario actually come true! I am going to freak out if I am forced to pick from these two. Although naturally as I am not a Socialist I will not vote for Hillary, McCain has let conservatives and Americans down so often it will be a challenge to get up that morning.

My buddy Joe thinks this will be just like '76 when Reagan lost to Ford, then served 2 wondrous terms after a lame DEM one term administration (Jimmy Carter for those of you under 30). So McCain loses to Hillary, who serves a single, stalinist term, then Romney runs against her in 2012 and serves eight years.



Then again... what about Barrack Hussein Obama? This could be interesting. On every issue I am dramatically opposed to everything he stands for and has voted on. (Race not withstanding - see my last blog on that one). An Obama Presidency would put a lot of people (Jackson, Sharpton, Jackson-Lee, McKinney, et al) out of business once and for all. Or would it? I would like to sit back and watch as liberals continue to proclaim the plight of blacks under a BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Perhaps this would end the laughable policies and bigoted, race baiting of the Left, and finally open ones eyes to the true gifts for ALL AMERICANS - Individual Liberty, Freedom (to succeed and to fail), the rule of Law, Private Property, to name a few. I wished for a Condi - Hillary battle for the White House myself.

Go Mitt!



So there.
