55. Lets see if we can re-write this a little
Edited on Fri Feb-04-05 09:19 PM by walldude
A Republican in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?" The waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee on him.

The next patron to come in was a Libertarian with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus over there?" The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat."



The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there, honey! How's about getting' me a cold glass of Miller Light!" He, too, looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that God's boy over there?" The waitress once more nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold glass of beer. "On my bill," he said.

As Jesus got up to leave, he walked towards the Democrat, touched him and said "For your kindness, you are healed." The Democrat replied,
"Please Jesus, there are many more who need your help much more than me, please repay my kindness by helping a child in need."

Jesus also passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Libertarian said, "Lord, God helps those who help themselves, if you must repay this act please help someone who can't help themselves"

Jesus walked towards the Republican touched him and said, "My son, one act of kindness towards one whom you know can save you does not wash the blood of thousands of innocents from your sinful, complacent hands." "There is no spin and there are no lies in my kingdom." "Nice try though, Maybe you can get Bill O'Reilly to help you, just don't let him near your wife or telephone"

Then you can tell them that my 50 year old wife who has Muscular Dystrophy can't get the benefits she has been paying into for years because the Bush administration says she's being treated... For an incurable disease.
