Politics

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, but her father was a staunch Republican.

One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to high taxes and welfare programs. He stopped her and asked how she was doing in school.

She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA, but it was really tough. She had to study all the time and never had time to go out and party. She didn't have
time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying. On top of that, the part-time job her father insisted she keep left absolutely no time for anything else. He asked, "How is your friend Mary?" She replied that Mary was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied, but was very popular on campus, didn't have a job, and went to all the parties. She was always complaining about not having any money, but didn't want to work. Why, she often didn't show up for classes because she was hung over. Dad then asked his daughter why she didn't go to the Dean's office and request that 1.0 be taken off her 4.0 and given it to her friend who only had a 2.0. That way they would both have a respectable 3.0 GPA. Then, she could also give her friend half the money she'd earned from her job so
that her friend would no longer be broke. The daughter angrily fired back,
"That wouldn't be fair. I worked really hard for my grades and money, and Mary just loafs. Why should her laziness and irresponsibility be rewarded with half of what I've worked for?"
The father slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Is this a joke or another thread to commence arguing? Seems more likely the latter since it wasn't that funny.

I smell a troll. Best not to feed him/her/it.

If she's a true democrat, she'll want to give Mary somebody elses money.

Here's a real-life example of saying one thing and doing another:

Kallend, aren't you the one complaining about the deficit all of the time? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=948500;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread

Are you saying he should spend more?

>Are you saying he should spend more?

No, just be honest about it. If he said that he had to put off funding for a few years until the economy recovers, it would be more understandable to vets, I think.

I hope you notice I didn't use "liberal" web sites for the links.

Nope - I'm saying he should stop saying one thing and then doing another (aka lying).

Silence from the right...

Hasn't Ann Coulter given you Republicans a standard response for this one?

They're waiting for Rush's take on the situation but he's still reeling from Bush's new initiative agains prescription drug abuse.
