An email about A day in the life of Joe Republican...
I received this email just a few minutes ago. Every republican should read it, and I know they aren't here; however, it might be something you would like to send to some of those stubborn RW relatives, friends, acquaintances.

> >A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN

> >Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot
with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is
clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal
fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his
first swallow of water, he takes his daily
medication. His medications are safe to take because
some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their
safety and that they work as advertised.
> >All but $10 of his medications are paid for by
his employer's medical plan because some liberal
union workers fought their employers for paid medical
insurance - now Joe gets it too.
> >He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and
eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some
girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat
packing industry.
> >In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his
shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each
ingredient and its amount in the total contents
because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to
know what he was putting on his body and how much it
contained.
> >Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep
breath. The air he breathes is clean because some
environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to
stop industries from polluting our air.
> >He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to
subway station for his government-subsidized ride to
work. It saves him considerable money in parking
and transportation fees because some fancy-pants
liberal fought for affordable public transportation,
which gives everyone the opportunity to be a
contributor.
> >Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with
excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid
holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union
members fought and died for these working standards.
Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's
employer doesn't want his employees to call the
union.
> >If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed,
he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check
because some stupid liberal didn't think he
should lose his home because of his temporary
misfortune.
> >It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank
deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is
federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless
liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from
unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system
before the Great Depression.
> >Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten
mortgage and his below-market federal student loan
because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and
the government would be better off if he was educated
and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also
forgets that his in addition to his federally
subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded
university.
> >Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his
father this evening at his farm home in the country.
He gets in his car for the drive. His car is
among the safest in the world because some
America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards
to go along with the tax-payer funded road.
> >He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third
generation to live in the house financed by Farmers'
Home Administration because bankers didn't want to
make rural loans.
> >The house didn't have electricity until some
big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't
belong and demanded rural electrification.
> >He is happy to see his father, who is now
retired. His father lives on Social Security and a
union pension because some wine-drinking,
cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of
himself so Joe wouldn't have to.

>>> >Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and
turns on a radio talk show.
> The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad
and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that
the beloved Republicans have fought against every
protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.
Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government
liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a
self-made man who believes everyone should take care
of themselves, just like I have."

2. Good one....
Sent it to my girlfriend in TX who's volunteering at her local county Demo headquarters and has already had to deal with some of the "outsourcing is good" idiots who have wandered by to hassle her and her co-workers.

Told her to print this out and when the next one comes in, just hand it to him and say, "shut up and read."

Thanks.
