so a young girl meets a homeless man and tells her parents she wants to do something to help him. as democrats they are proud of her care for the poor man and boast to there neighbor [a conservative] that there daughter will someday be a good liberal. the neighbor says to the girl, "if you want to help that man i can help you." "just come to my house and rake up my leaves, bag them and take them to the corner and ill pay you $50 every week so you can give the homeless man some money." the girl thinks about this for a second and says "well why cant the homeless man rake the leaves?" the man shakes the girls hand and says "welcome to the republican party!"
proud parents!

^its a light hearted joke and a basic observation on policy and values. nowhere are liberals or democrats insulted and if flaming ensues i will remove it. im a moderate who leans to the right at best and i think even the most liberal can appreciate the irony that the parents took pride in there daughter compassion for life but her simple sensibility put her on the side of an opposing party. it's social satire. nothing more.

I bet they know a lot about government... The point is: since the human start walking only with the legs, those on power governate to THEM and not to you... and that will keep that way, just because the human being is the human being.

I'm left-to-middle myself, and I had a decent chuckle about it. Its not political bashing, and I personally won't do any of that here. My rantings about politics are for other places, primarily my apathetic wife, who will tell me to shut up after I've gone on for about three minutes or so.

Since we're doing non-political jokes:
W was out jogging with the Secret Service in tow. He sees a little girl with a box of puppies. He asks, "What kind of dogs are they?" The little girl replies, "Why Mr. President, they're Democrats." W says, "Well, that's nice."
The next day he decides to bring Cheney with him to see if the dogs are still there. They are. He asks the little girl again, "What kind of dogs are they again?" She says, "Why they're Republicans, Mr. President." He said, "Yesterday they were Democrats, but today they're Republicans?" She responds, "Yes Mr. President. Their eyes opened."
