Welcome to the Republican Party
 
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day.

Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there so I asked her, “if you were President, what would be the first thing you would do”? She replied, “I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.” Her parents beamed with pride!

“Wow, what a worthy goal!” I said. “But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that,” I told her. “What do you mean,” she replied. So I told her, “you can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds and trim my hedge and I’ll give you $50. Then, you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use for food and towards a new house.”

She thought that over for a few seconds then looked me straight in the eye and asked, “why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work and you can just pay him the $50”? I said, “welcome to the Republican Party.”

Her parents haven’t spoken to me since.

It's been floating around the Interweb for months and it took this long for you to take the bait. Congratulations.:D;)

Golly! S'pose that really happened?

Another plagiarist heard from.

Two things gave it away for me. Flowers don't grow in the Central California desert and even if there were, Republicans in California don't work in their own gardens. They have illegal immigrants for that (who they like). They just dislike everybody else's.

Lolz! I noticed that your first reference was from one of those "balanced" web sites. Looks like the folks over there went nuts over it. :)

I found the joke over at one of the auto web sites yesterday and didn't spend the entire weekend researching it, lol. I got a good chuckle out of it and thought it would be a big hit over here.

Waiting for more angry replies.

Strawman argument! :)

I don't really think that anyone imagines that I wrote that myself.

Keep the angry comments coming! :p

Yup, we get all angry when we yawn.;) Siesta time! Asta la vista baby.:p

I'm not angry, but when I read it, it wasn't identified as something found elsewhere and thereby portrayed as original thought. I suspect it was probably written in a Karl Rove financed sweat-shop in the Houston 'burbs.:D
