Difference between a repub & a democrat.
This is what my RW brother sent. I just kept thinking Huckabee would never have given the $20.



THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REPUBLICAN AND A DEMOCRAT

Mike Huckabee and Hillary Clinton were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person.

The Republican, Mike Huckabee, gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his office for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.

Hillary was very impressed, so when they came to another homeless person, she decided to help. She walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. She then reached into Huckabee 's pocket and got out $20. She kept $15 for her administrative fees and gave the homeless person $5..

Now, do you understand the difference?

1. Huckabee would more likely have called the cops
and had the person arrested for vagrancy.

13. Exactly, and given him a kick for being sinful enough to be poor.
I doubt Clinton would have done much better. She'd have called the local rescue van to pick him off the street since he was spoiling the entrance to wherever she was headed. If the charitable giving on his tax return is any indication, Obama would have given him a dollar and a motivational speech.

Only fools like me give them enough for a bottle AND a meal.

3. I'm always amazed
Edited on Fri Mar-28-08 02:14 PM by BOSSHOG
at how people with values just love to show off their fucking ignorance. Huckabee, a republican conservative, would not give anyone a job if an immigrant were available to do the job cheaper.

4. Yuk yuk yuk.
When we all know the Republican would just kick the homeless person and tell them to go get a job.

No, here's the real difference between Republicans and Democrats:

Democrats would rather have a few people cheat than let anyone starve.
Republicans would rather have a few people starve than let anyone cheat.

5. Here's my reply from the heart of Arkansas (have seen both Huck and Hill in action).
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REPUBLICAN AND A DEMOCRAT

Mike Huckabee and Hillary Clinton were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person.

The Republican, Mike Huckabee, gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his church to be saved. He then took $20 out of his pocket, waved it in front of the person's face and explained that, "God wants you to have an abundance. All you need is to put your trust in the Lord."

Hillary was very impressed, so when they came to another homeless person, she decided to help. She walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. She then took the homeless person to the nearest restaurant and bought them a hot meal.

See the difference?

8. You forgot one thing
She then took the homeless person to the nearest restaurant and bought them a hot meal.

Then she left the restaurant without leaving a tip. :sarcasm:

6. Feh.
The republican would have given the $20.00 to the business where the homeless person used to work. The company would then use $5 to run an ad campaign showing how it valued American ideals like hard work while using another $5 to move their factories into other countries and using the last $10 to pay their executives bonuses. The homeless person would then be looked down upon as someone not really willing to work.

7. Very untrue and insulting joke.
I know some of the dumber republicans think like that, but is a false stereotype.

9. Huckabee woulda called the cops on the homeless person.
Edited on Fri Mar-28-08 02:24 PM by librechik
Hillary would have protested. The cops would have arrested the both of them.

Then they both would have gotten a hot meal in jail. With extra cockroaches!

The 20 bucks? In the cops pocket, as an extra gift from ol Huck, as usual.

last night:

Politics is like driving a car. If you want to go backward, put in R, if you want to go forward, put it in D.

:) My Dad is pretty cool sometimes...
