Just your average "Joe" if he's Republican..that it...
Edited on Sun Oct-10-04 06:07 PM by KoKo01
(This has probably been all over the net, but I hadn't seen it and someone sent it to me. Maybe I missed it and it's old...but in these times it's good to do a "redux.")

Joe Republican Has His Day!

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare
> his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some
> tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.
>
> With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His
> medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought
> to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
>
> All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical
> plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for
> paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.
>
> He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe
> to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the
> meat packing industry.
>
> In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is
> properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total
> contents because some cry baby liberal fought for his right to know
> what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
>
> Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he
> breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought
> for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
>
> He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to
> work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation
> fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public
> transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a
> contributor.
>
> Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical
> benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy
> liberal union members fought and died for these working standards.
> Joes employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't wan t
> his employees to form a union.
>
> If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get workers
> compensation or an unemployment check because some stupid liberal
> didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary
> misfortune.
>
> Its noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some
> bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some
> godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous
> bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
>
> Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his
> below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided
> that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and
> earned more money over his lifetime.
>
> Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at
> his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His
> car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating
> liberal fought for car safety standards.
>
> He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live
> in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers
> didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity
> until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't
> belong and demanded rural electrification.
>
> He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on
> Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking,
> cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe
> wouldn't have to.
>
> Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk
> show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and
> conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved
> Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe
> enjoys throughout his day.
>
> Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our
> lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should
> take care of themselves, just like I have."

2. I'm copying that to send out.
We all know the code for "wine-drinking, cheese eating liberal".
Thanks.
