Stumbled across this article - it made me chuckle and I thought I'd share . . .
quote: August 29th, 2004 9:38 pm Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican
by John Gray
Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers 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 this day. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

I liked it, it had some good points, but of course it is very simplified...
It isn't quite that straighforward, because there were plenty of people on both sides of the political spectrum who fought for a lot of those "benifits"...although most of them were "liberal" for their day and age.

Hehe, I'm gonna e-mail this to my friend. The one who's always subjecting me to Rush Limbaugh on car trips.
