This is what Thom Hartmann has been saying recently on his radio program. That George W. Bush is doing exactly what Reagan would have done if he had had a Republican controlled Congress for six years.

EXACTLY. (By the way, the 1994 GOP Congress took office with the “we must break forty years of unbroken Dem control” spiel, ignoring that 1) unlike the GOP’s legendary party discipline, many conservative Dems voted with the GOP when it counted, and 2) the Republicans actually controlled the Senate from 1980 to 1986. If Iran-Contra had broken in January 1987 instead of November 1986, the Democrats could have really gone to town on it.)

After the cut he asked
about his bill and the barber replies: “I’m sorry, I cannot accept money
from you; I’m doing community service this week.” The florist is pleased and
leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open his shop. There is a thank-you card
and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the
barber again replies: “I’m sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I’m doing
community service this week.” The cop is happy and leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a thank-you card and a
dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Later a Democrat comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill
the barber again replies: “I’m sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I’m
doing community service this week.” The Democrat is very happy and leaves
the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open, there is a
thank-you card and a dozen different books such as “How to Improve Your
Business” and “Becoming More Successful.”

Then a Republican comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the
barber again replies: “I’m sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I’m doing
community service this week.” The Republican is very happy and leaves the shop

The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen
Republicans lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between left and right.
