The Difference Between Republicans and Democrats


A. The dog represents Republicans and the rescuers represent the Democrats.

Someone’s dog got out of their backyard and ended up in an irrigation canal. The struggling dog, which is unable to climb out of the canal by itself, will surely drown if not rescued. The 911 operator dispatches a team of rescuers to the scene. A firefighter is tethered to the fire truck and slowly lowered into the fast moving waters of the canal. The dog is scared of the rescuer and tries desperately to avoid him. Fortunately, the rescuer is able to reach the dog, secure him and safely hoist him out of the canal but not without being severely bitten by the freaked out dog.

B. The authorities represent Republicans.

Someone’s dog got out of their backyard and ended up in an irrigation canal. The struggling dog, which is unable to climb out of the canal by itself, will surely drown if not rescued. The 911 operator dispatches the authorities to the scene. The authorities stand at the ledge of the canal with shotguns and semi automatic rifles. They aim and shoot at the dog struggling in the current. The dog is shot dead in the water. Afterwards, the authorities argue over whom they should hire to come out and retrieve the dead dog and sanitize the now contaminated irrigation canal that has been shut down and thus withholding precious water from most of the farms in the state.

During the months of private deliberations between the authorities and themselves, the authorities spend their off time flooding citizen email inboxes with tales about how the dog was a terrorist trained by Al Qaida; how the dog used to perform abortions on 12 year old girls without parental consent; how the dog was once owned by Osama bin Laden and used to help plant landmines to kill American solders; and how American senior citizens will have to eat the dead dog because the Democrats are using their benefits to pay off the farmers so that they can in turn pay their illegal immigrant workers.
Finally, the authorities select a corporation to do the clean up but now they must decide how to pay for it. Another month goes by and the authorities decide to “borrow” millions of dollars from the education budget to pay the corporation to remove the decomposing dog carcass, sanitize the canal, and subsidize the farmers for lost crops. In the end, the authorities decide to sue the Democrats in office for allowing private citizens, who live near canals, to own dogs.
