I find this funny and true, but will still vote for Obama this year
since I
want us to get the hell out of Iraq.


A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so
many
others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat,
and
among other liberal ideals, was very much in favour of higher taxes to
support more government programmes, in other words redistribution of
wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican,
a
feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had
participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt
that
her father had for years harboured an evil, selfish desire to keep what
he
thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher
taxes
on
the rich and the need for more government programmes. The
self-professed
objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she
indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in
school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0
GPA,
and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was
taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which
left
her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't
even
have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends
because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"
She
replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes,
she
never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on
campus;
college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties,
and
lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she 's too
hung
over."
Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's
office
and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who
only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly
that
would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired
back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really
hard
for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work!
Audrey
has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked
my
tail off!" The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome
to
the Republican party."

now, what if Audrey was born with a GPA of minus 1, and had to work two
jobs
to pay for her tutition, all while busting her *** to get her GPA up to
2.0. Meanwhile, the daughter with the 4.0 was left that GPA by her
grandfather, and has never worked a day in her life...

Sexist.
