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.

Yawn. Got any original thoughts?

Cool! It's from this month!

Murray

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.

Murray

Strawman argument! :)

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

Keep the angry comments coming! :p

Murray

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

I'm not going to defend my posting it without attribution. I have no idea where it came from originally.

No, I didn't write it. Hope that clears it up.

Continue on with deflecting!

Murray

The young lady still belongs in the Democratic party. She saw the opportunity to provide a job to someone who needed it rather than seeing the opportunities being limited to cronies.

No hard feeling, Murray. Welcome to PC. I just get so sick and tired of receiving chit like that from my mother-in-law by email, most of which she forwards thinking that it is actually a true story. I mistakenly thought you were similarly afflicted. My apologies. Carry on.

Yeah, can't be giving some menial job to a white hobo begging over at Seven Eleven. After all they must be Democrats or lazy liberals otherwise they wouldn't be in such desperate straits...sure is refreshing to have another Republican making fun of the less fortunate. Angry? Naw. Disapointed? Naw. You just don't know any better until it's a family member or friend of yours who's been beggared by the crazy Randians infesting the Republican party.
Palm Springs?:rolleyes:

Excellent article, and full of truth. Thanks.

Here's an actual, original story. My neighbor across the street is a small business owner, he owns a moblie mechanical repair business. The guy next door to him is an ex-convict with a storied and violent past, "Joe"....whom no one will hire, even in the best of times. He invaded the home of an 80+ year old man, beat him nearly to death, stole a little money and the guys deceased wifes jewelry. Then took the old mans car keys and took off in the stolen car. He did 15 years for that. He had prior convictions for violent behavior.

One day the three of us were having a nice conversation when Grady, the Republican business owner, started telling the criminal psychopath, Joe; "Man, I'd give you a job in a minute, but I can't 'cuz that fuckin' Obama has my hands tied.", to which I commented, trying to hide my sarcasm; "Oh, I know you would and it's a damn shame you can't."

Grady shot me a look that told me he knew I was being sarcastic.

Earlier this summer, I saw Grady painting his logo on a brand new van.

I strolled over and asked, "New van?"

"Yep, this is number three, man."

"Cool. So, you've hired another mechanic."

"Yep, starts Monday."

"Joe"

"Joe? Hell, no. I'm not hiring that whackjob."

Apparently he didn't recall the prior conversation. Or, maybe he did, I dunno.

I just left it alone.

But, he's full of shit. Most of them are.

Dave

He's been here before. Didn't hang long.

Dave

Oh snap! :D

Sometimes with another name and another face but he's been here before.... and he'll be here again. Cookie cutter wing nuts.

Can you blame us? We're all angry black people like Obama! See my "niggerize" thread, note I use the "N" word as an adverb nowt as a pronoun or some such.

Jeesh Finn, I heard that joke 10 years ago, are you kidding me? Was the term sweat shop your original idea? You didn't put quotes around it, so you must be a plagiarist. You people are laughable. How do you get your shoes on in the morning and get to work, or are you all holding out for management positions and sucking the government teat. That would at least explain your political positions.

I understand and sympathize with you having identified with his simple-minded post. Was it you who wrote it in Rove's sweat-shop or did you do pro-bono for your masters?

What's shoes?;):D and do they taste good, any recipes?

Thanks for that.

Seriously, there doesn't seem to be a lot going on here so that's why I seldom show up. Hmmm, some irony there.

Murray

I think it's because you can't win an argument to save your ass. So, you hang out in more friendly territory.

Dave

You take yourself way too seriously. I came over here and posted a humorous story and you go bat-shit crazy over it and then post your anecdotal story about the mechanic as if that has anything to do with the original post.

It's strictly humor and isn't a personal attack on you or anyone here. Sorry that you can't see that.

Continue your personal attacks if that makes you feel better. I doubt that anyone thinks you're scoring any points.

Murray

I did?

No, you attempted to plaigerize and got caught. I was lampooning this and the ridiculous premise of your post and nothing more.

My little story, which happens to be REAL, btw, was posted to demonstrate how Republicans really are. As we all know, but folks like YOU are constantly trying to hide.

I wouldn't be surprised if the beggar in your story wouldn't turn out to BE a Republican.:p

Dave

Ad hominem arguments always seem humorous to the attacker. As in barely able to constrain the snickering and outright braying laughter amongst their less than admirable friends and supporters. As a Democrat I find your nasty little humorous bit highly offensive and you're proclivity towards plagerism telling and unfortunately typically classless run of the mill behaviour from that small faction within the Republican party known as Tea Partyists. For a group who loudly and obnoxiously claims the moral high ground in this great country y'all have a blind spot bigger than a Buick when it comes to fair play and/or honesty. Don't you ever wonder why it is that you have to blackmail and bully anyone in the Republican party who shows any hint of moderation to achieve your narrow minded goals? Let me answer that one for you as an outside observer, it is simply that you think you are better than everyone else and that your interpretation of faith is superior and the ends justify the means.

Bat shit crazy enough for you? Dave made a homerun IMO but guess what? It's easy when they come in straight over the plate and pitched underhanded. Keep your day job cause your sense of humor is lacking and your delivery is inadequate.

Hey Murray, I watched Full Metal Jacket last night and it made me think of you. Then today I fire up the shop system on Pandora and get this tune, which again makes me think of you. I don't think I've ever thanked you for your service, so let me do it now; Thanks Mang. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjQ321z681A

Then I got to looking at acoustic stuff, and found this one that reminded me of me. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc5AN...eature=related

Then I blew some cush, and felt like a RockStar. :cool:

Then I got the munchies and wondered when my wife would be home to cook my supper?:confused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIdIqbv7SPo

It's spelled with a k not a c Jay. Turn in yer burn card, ;)dude.:D

lol

He's in the midwest and old... and my buddy....cut him some slack ;)

Ask him about the tube I sent him...Early Christmas came to Kansas! I stilll consider Jay a bud since he swore off some of his more radical views.;):D
He's keepin' me wondering if he's actually a little light in the Redwings with the gay jokes, tho.:eek:

Nope, girls only, never had any interest in wieners. Besides that, it says right in the Bible that you ain't supposed to do that type stuff. Now girl on girl is fine I think. I don't remember nuttin in the good book on that.:)

No, it actually doesn't.

It does say that you're not supposed to cut the hair at your temples though. You don't cut the hair at your temples, do you, Jay?

John

Going old testament on us eh John. In that case does it not state that you should not touch a woman because she may be "unclean"?

I remember when the orthodox Rabbi would come in the store and my boss , A 73 year old Jewish woman, would try to shake his hand and he'd back away from her as quick as possible. She'd look at him and say "you don't have to worry about me honey as I'm well past that". He still would not touch her in any way.

I asked how he was able to have children and she said the practice is to lay a sheet with a hole in it over your wife.

And that is the absolute truth! Pretty freakin' strange!

John

It sure is.......
