Is this accurate? [View all]

I saw a quote the other day that I thought was spot on, about the difference between the two parties:

Democrats will feed 100 people, hoping that one of them really needs it.

Republicans will refuse to feed 100 people, for fear that one of them doesn't really need it.

Sounds about right to me!
