Understanding Democrats vs Republicans
A young teenage girl was about to finish her first year of college. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and her father was a rather staunch Republican.
One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to programs like welfare. He stopped her and asked her 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, never had time to go out and party and often went sleepless because of all the studying. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of all her studying.

He then asked how her friend Mary, who was attending the same college, was doing. She replied that she was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied, was very popular on campus and was at parties all the time. She often wouldn't show up for classes because she was hung over.

He then asked his daughter why she didn't go to the Dean's office and ask why she couldn't take 1.0 off her 4.0 and give it to her friend who only had a 2.0. That way they would both have a 3.0 GPA.

The daughter fired back and said "That wouldn't be fair, I worked really hard for mine and my friend has done nothing."

The father smiled and said: "Welcome to the Republican Party."

An old man is sitting at a bus stop. A young man of about 25 or so walks up, sits down on the bench, and starts reading a newspaper article about the upcoming presidential election.

Noticing what the young man is reading, the old man asks, "So, are you a Democrat or a Republican?"

"I'm a Republican," the young man cheerfully responds.

The old man becomes indignant. "Why in hell would anyone want to be a Republican? I've been a card-carrying Democrat all my life! What would cause a bright young man like yourself to be a Republican?"

The young man thinks a moment and answers, "Well, my dad was a Republican, and his dad before him was a Republican."

The old man sniffs and says, "Well if your dad had been a monkey, and his dad before him had been a monkey, would that make you a monkey, too?"

"No," answers the young man. "That would make me a Democrat."

I have found that the best way to stifle a proclaimed liberal Democrat is to let them ponder the question:

So, you ENJOY paying more taxes?
