scenario: a man is drowning 50 feet from shore. on the shore is a 45-foot length of rope. a liberal, conservative and moderate walk by. the following are their reactions
the liberal throws the entire length of the rope into the water directly at the man, rendering the act completely useless, and blames the conservative for not having given enough to provide the missing five feet
the conservative will hold on to one end, throw the other out to the man and encourage him to try as hard as he can to swim the five feet to reach the end of the rope so that he may be pulled to safety
the moderate will belabor the issue by saying that both sides have good and bad points and that more research is needed to solve the problem. will probably ask for the appointment of a blue ribbon panel
oh, and island: "Democrat -- takes your money, but says it's for 'good'," and should you have a nickel more than he or she, will automatically paint you as evil because obviously you must have screwed someone to have it
