Can Anybody Help Me With A Joke Comeback?
Advertisements [?]
Hi all,

OK, I've heard variations on the below joke numerous times, and it always annoys me because it's simplistic, at best, and not at all true, at worst. I was wondering: does anybody have a similar joke with "Welcome to the Democratic Party" as a punchline? I'd like to have a comeback the next time I hear the below joke:

I'm reminded of the time that Catherine - a little girl in our neighborhood
told me that she wanted to be President one day. Both of her
parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there with us - and I asked
Catherine - "If you were President, what would be the first
thing you would do?"

Catherine replied - "I would give houses to all the homeless people."

"Wow, what a worthy goal you have there Catherine." I told her (while both
parents beamed), "but, you don't have to wait until you're President
to do that. You can come over to my house and clean up all the dog
poop in the back yard and I will pay you $5 dollars. Then we can go
over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you
can give him the $5 dollars to use for a new house."

Catherine (who was about 4) thought that over for a second, and then replied,
"Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop
himself, and you can pay him the $5 dollars."

Welcome to the Republican Party, Catherine.


Yeah, yeah, yeah. Any help?

Thanks!
