The Republican Party and the Democrat Party were just like the old patent medicine drummer that used to come around our country. He had two bottles of medicine. He’d play a banjo & he’d sell two bottles of medicine. One of those bottles of medicine was called Hipofolorum & another one of those bottles of medicine was called Lopofohirum. Finally somebody ‘round there said “is there any difference in these medicines?” Oh, he said, considerable. They’re both good, but they’re different. He said “that Hipofolorum is made from the bark off the tree that we take from the top down. And that Lopofohirum is made from the bark that we take from the root up.” And the only difference that I have found between the Democratic leadership and the Republican leadership was that one of ‘em was skinning from the ankle up & the other from the ear down.
