Democrats may be generous with other people’s money, but at least they share the darn thing – unlike Republicans, who simply want to horde it all for themselves and leave you out in the cold. :rolleyes:
(Is this Great Debates, or just whiny conservative stereotyping day?)
My bolding.
Apparently, it’s whiny liberal day as well.
Happy New Year all!
Aww, you’ve got to tell the joke correctly. I believe I heard it first from Bob Dole. It goes like this:
(rimshot)
Clearly, you are not a supply-sider. 
The answer is obvious. The Republicans are currently in power, which means that many of the Republicans in the Washington, D.C. are living on a government salary and have to conserve their resources. The Democrats in the area by and large work for lobbying and law firms and are dripping in dough (heh).
In a Democratic administration/Congress, the situations would reverse. 
“Well, 'mam, I’ve only been a Republican for about five minutes, and already I feel like screwing somebody!”
Sorry, Sam, but I’ve heard it a couple times. I heard it was Bill who say the Democratic puppies, but when he tried to show Hillary, they had opened their eyes.
I thought is was an epithet tossing contest.
PersonA, “You’re a bleeding heart!”
PersonB, “Yea? Well your a cold blooded bastard!”
PersonC, “Hah! your both silly. I’m a moderate.”
PersonAnd B together, “Get HIM!”
Actually, now that you mention it, you’re right. It was told about Bill and Hillary, but I can’t remember who told the joke.
I think I might be part of the problem. I’m republican and I’ve never in my life tipped a pizza delivery person. Never. Of course, eating pizza makes me get a bad rash (even in my mouth, eww) so I tend to run from them screaming, but I’m sure people like me skew the results…
Well, now, if you mean to say that you’ve never tipped a pizza delivery person because you never ordered pizza, that’s one thing. But if you mean that you don’t tip as a matter of principle…
That’s another kettle of fish. You can’t not tip, you just can’t.
There is a segment of humanity that can serve another humbly and cheerfully, banishing all thought of thier own dignity. They have many special names for such as these: slaves, for the sake of brevity. Saints and avatars as well, perhaps…
Most Americans, and more and more earthlings, find such a position irksome and oppressive. If we respect thier dignity as people, we must respect thier service the same way: Of course we don’t deserve to be treated with such deference, heaven knows nobody would do it who wasn’t paid.
But if we know he makes this sacrifice of sacred dignity
and we do not honor that sacrifice…
we degrade him, and us. If you can’t afford to tip, don’t order.
Hey, turnabout is fair play, and all that.
Oh, of course not. I tip 15 to 20% generally, more if the service is exceptional.
Here an interesting take on the OP (remember that?)
Paula Jones (yes, THAT Paula Jones!) on politicians and tipping
Nothing like biting the hand that feeds you.
I am not touching that straight line, and I deserve considerable points for that restraint.
Conservatives are greedy, and liberals wanna rape Jesus (and bless 'em for it!).
As for the pizza delivery boy thing… has anyone thought of the possibility that Republicans park their fancy cars in the garage, and so the delivery guys couldn’t see 'em? Democrats always got their garages full of liberal detritus, and they always - ALWAYS, I tells ya! - have to park in the street.
You know, I rarely tip Pizza delivery guys. According to my understanding, they get a full wage and an allowance for gas, or at least thats what some hiring ad said around here. So, to my thinking, someone whose job is to drive my door and deliver does not particularly deserve a heavy tip. The hardest part about it is going to be finding the house. Generally I leave them a dollor or two over the price, simply because I need no change from that $20 bill, but its not as if they’re offering me some kind of exceptional service by driving a mile and making three turns to get to my doorstep.
Now, in-restaurant is different, and I usually tip more for the deliverymen who bring our large office lunch orders, since they are really busy and carry lots of food on them.
