One of our Project Managers......

.....was visited at work by his Lovely wife and ten year old Daughter...

He brought them into my office for introductions....

Cute kid and bright as a button.... I asked the little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up.

She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, very 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.

'Wow...what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'But you don't have to wait
until you're President to do that.....

You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50.

Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out,
and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.'

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she 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 Dad's still not speaking to me..........

Perfect example of logic. Make it personal and that makes it clear. The liberals always want YOU to be the one to do something "nice", but always have a reason for not doing it themselves!

cry_alone,
A brief synopsis of US political actions as opposed to rhetoric: The Democrats are driving toward the anti liberty collectivist cliff at a speed of 85 mph whereas the Republicans believe a speed limit of 55 mph should be enforced.

I just re-read this one and had to smile again.

ΛΕΟΝΙΔΑΣ, you are exactly right. But it is ironic that the Republicans would agree to impose the 55 mph speed limit, as it does limit liberty. It's also ironic that the Democrats would be driving 85 mph; it seems that they should be driving their collective Prius at a steady 35, right over the cliff. The only reason they are closer to the precipice, they started long before the Republicans did. The Republicans waited till Reagan got out office! They are catching up, though, ain't they!

I hope your finger is making progress, too, Wollf!
