Here's my small view of Republican vs. Democratic ideas:
Julie is coming back from college on her first break and his having a conversation with her dad, a strong Republican:
Julie - Hey dad, ever since college I've been really growing Liberal ideas, and I truly support the Democratic platform now. Really, it's only fair that the rich pay more, and I think they should simply because they can.
Dad - Hm. Interesting Julie. Hey, by the way, how's your friend Amy doing?
Julie - Amy, well... she's doing alright I guess.
Dad - And how are you doing?
Julie - I'm doing excellent Dad!
Dad - How so?
Julie (proudly)- I have a 3.8 GPA and I'm acing my biology courses!
Dad - Julie, I'm extremely proud of you, and you know that. But, what about Amy?
Julie - Well, umm, Amy has a 1.9. Well I guess I don't feel all that bad for her, I mean she's happy. She parties all the time, she has a boyfriend, and she really doesn't care about college all that much. Grades don't seem to be on the top of her priority list.
Dad - Hm, that's sad. How about this! Why don't you go down to the dean's office and have a discussion, and see if you can transfer some of your GPA points over to Amy so you both get a 3.0! I mean, that's still great for your first year in college. You'll both be happy!
Julie - What?! No way! I worked my butt off for those grades. Last week I was up until 2 am every night studying for my finals. I nearly aced all of them. Julie went to three parties and came back to the room drunk every night.
Dad - So?
Julie - That would be unfair - I could'nt do that! They're my grades and I'm extremely proud of them. Julie deserved to fail her finals. That would simply be unfair. I deserve my grades.
Dad (pats her on the back) - Welcome to the Republican Party dear!
