Going toward the voice, they soon find a man in a deep hole. <br /><br /><b>Liberal</b>: "Oh, no, a man in a hole. We must help him!"<br /><b>Conservative:</b> "Hey, Man in hole, we will help you! What do you need? Are you hurt or injured?" <br /><b>Hole man:</b> "No, but I would really like t get out of this hole and I don't know how! I have been calling out and calling out for for days now!"<br /><b>Liberal:</b> "Oh, WOW, Hole man, so what you need are lots more people yelling for help! I've got it! I will jump down into that hole and help you yell!<i> [And before Conservative can stop him, Liberal jumps in hole.]</i><br /><b>Hole Man:</b> Gee thanks, maybe now we can be heard and others will come. Btw, got anything on your to eat?<br /><b>Conservative:</b> Uh...well...that was an interesting idea, Liberal, but I have another idea. I am not strong enough to now lift BOTH of you out of your hole alone, but I can give you tools so that you can build a way out yourselves...while I go get more help. Here's a some tree limbs and some vines I found over there. Start building a ladder while I go get more help.I think I see the steeple of a church over behind those trees. I hear they have lots of people who like helping people get out of holes.<br /><b>Liberal:</b> Hey, I have a better idea! Just call DC...they'll send out someone out right away!<br /><b>Conservative:</b> Yeah. I'll do that, after I go get real help from that church right over there across the street from this hole....<br /><br /><b>And...Scene. </b><br /><br />BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-64137075772126281562015-09-28T12:01:37.881-04:002015-09-28T12:01:37.881-04:00Obama's policies are absolute failures but it ...Obama's policies are absolute failures but it has been a while since anyone has covered themselves in glory on the international policy front and I see no reason to believe that will change in the foreseeable future.<br /><br />Speaking of the future, given that Obama is a lame duck facing a hostile Congress, his long range plans mean nothing.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-32997072264118571752015-09-28T11:24:50.926-04:002015-09-28T11:24:50.926-04:00tryanmax, the Democrats are the party of the rich,...tryanmax, the Democrats are the party of the rich, even as they swear they aren't.

They let problems arise... in fact, I would argue that they interfere with preventing them... and then they act self-righteous about how they would have solved them. And then, when given the chance and they fail (as they inevitably do) they whine about these being "special" problems or circumstances somehow.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-43228574767042766262015-09-28T10:56:37.863-04:002015-09-28T10:56:37.863-04:00Of course, the analogy is flawed, because when it ...Of course, the analogy is flawed, because when it comes from the left, it's never <i>their</i> checkbook, is it?tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-11072164679726517062015-09-28T10:55:46.333-04:002015-09-28T10:55:46.333-04:00Party of the rich?
