Which one do you fall under?

A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they come to a homeless person.. The Republican gave him his business card and told him to stop by for a job. He then took $20 out of this pocked and handed it to the man and walked away satisfied.. The Democrat was impressed, so much so that when they came to another homeless person, he decided it was his turn to help.. Very quickly he reached into his Republican counterparts pants pocket and gave the homeless man $50, then he walked away satisfied..

In another case, a woman in a hot air balloon becomes lost so she starts a descent to speak to a man she sees below.. "Excuse Me, I promised a friend I would meet him but I can't get my bearings straight, can you tell me where I am?".. The man replies.. "you are at 31 degrees, 14.57 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude".. She yells out "oh you must be a Democrat", he says "yes I am how did you know that?" "Well she replies because everything you told me is technically correct, but the information is useless and I am still lost, frankly you have been no help at all"..

To this the man replies "well you must be a Republican then".. "Yes sir I sure am" replies the woman "how on earth did you know that, lucky guess?" No no the man replies, "it was very easy to figure out, you've risen to where you are due to a lot of hot air, made a promise you couldn't keep and you are asking/expecting me to solve your problem, not to mention as you stated, you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now somehow its all my fault..

I'm an independent.

Sounds more like a Democrat to me. To be fair, I have seen this written both ways.

I like.

I don't see the second one offering an example of either party. The Liberal man on the ground uses what he would like to believe that the Republican woman is like, utilizing typical rhetoric to misdirect the reader. In fact, Conservative Republicans know:

Exactly where they are: In a great country founded on core principals that All men are Created equal and are entitled to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,

Exactly where they want to be: Continuing that great tradition by fostering an environment that make those goals possible,

Which is the promise of Conservative policies,

Which then gets corrupted by Liberal antics, which include taking working people's money and giving it to other people who do nothing to earn it, curbing the rights of all individuals (but feeling exempt themselves from those curbs), creating other arbitrary rights based on location and lifestyle, which draws new lines to class warfare and further curbs the rights of those who don't live up to the aforementioned locations and lifestyles, and offering nothing else but increased intrusion, obfuscation and accusation.

Remember the nine most frightening words in the English language: "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

A Republican was walking by the lake and noticed someone drowning, yelling for help. He immediately grabbed a rope and threw it to the man, but he only threw it half way. The Republican wasn't going to do all the work, the swimmer would have to meet him half way.

Another day, a Democrat was walking by the same lake and also noticed someone drowning, also yelling for help. He immediately grabbed a rope and threw it all the way to the man, the rope landing right within reach. The drowning man grabbed the rope, and the Democrat promptly dropped his end of the rope to run off and save someone else.

Why aren't there signs around this lake which say, " No Swimming!" ?

Because, as everyone knows, a government representative should be there to save us from ourselves.

No, that's what the Lawyer says when he files a negligence suit against the property owner, even though the people who almost drowned were tresspassing on private property.

Democrats don't believe in private property. But it's still the property owner's fault, not the imbecile who was careless.

Same here man.
Only make bets on myself. Don't rely on a party of debaters to fix my life's problem. Let them try to run everyone's life - but if they get in my way I'll knock em down!

quote Originally posted by RockyBalboaLives: Which one do you fall under?

Neither. They are two sides of the same coin.

Republican - ends with I Can
American - I can

Democrats- Rats. <= period.

Go Team Go!

dont worry about what is actually needed - just make sure "your team" wins

here is a hint: The Teams SUCK! our founding fathers knew this even before they were created. And yet - even those who try and suck-off the founding fathers cannot resist.

Think for Yourselves! or not...it does seem most are in fact pretty dumb.....maybe ya should stick to having others telling you what to think.....
