Typical Republican
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She
lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She
shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a
friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where
I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're 30
feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes
north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west
longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your
information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been
much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where
you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large
quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no
idea how to keep, then you expect me to solve your problem.
You're in exactly the same position you were in before
we met but, somehow, now it's my fault."

3. Always a good one.
But I believe the Dem would actually try & help - and the Reptile would still be ungrateful.
