Democrats and Republicans In The Wilderness

Recently my wife, Judy, clarified the difference between Republicans and Democrats. My wife often clarifies life's many puzzles for me. I am truly fortunate.

Democrats and Republicans In The Wilderness

Four politicians were out in the wilderness. Two were Democrats and two were Republicans. In the distance they spotted an animal.

Democrats: "Oh look, there's some kind of animal in the distance. We think it's a bear."

Republicans: "That's a White-Tailed Deer."

Democrats: "Possible. But let's get closer. We need more information."

Republicans: "Idiots! It's a White-Tailed Deer. Are you blind?"

They move closer.

Democrats: "You're right. It's not a bear. But, it's not a White-Tailed Deer either. Maybe it's an elk."

Republicans: "You Democrats are flip-floppers! You need to make a decision and stick with it come Hell or high-water! It's a White-Tailed Deer and nothing you say will convince us otherwise!"

Democrats: " We need more information before we can know for sure. We need to form a committee to gather facts about this animal."

Republicans: "Facts! Committees! We say it's a White-Tailed Deer and that's all you need to know!"

At this point a bearded hermit came out of the woods and said, "Why the Hell are you chasing my pet moose? You fools keep chasing her and she's liable to kick the crap out of you!"

Democrats: "A moose! Of course, that's what it is. Thank you sir for solving our puzzle."

The two Republicans now turned their backs on the Democrats and the hermit and began chanting in unison, "White-Tailed Deer...White-Tailed Deer....."

The hermit scratched his beard and studied the two Republicans as they continued chanting. He was puzzled when he heard the two Democrats shouting at each other. He moved closer to hear what their argument was about.

First Democrat: "But is she a happy moose living out here in the wilderness by herself. I think we should form a committee to look into it."

Second Democrat: "Are you an idiot? Of course she's a happy moose. However, we do need to form a committee to see if this poor hermit needs government help."

At this point the hermit went to his cabin, grabbed his shotgun and, together with the moose, chased the terrified politicians out of his woods.
