At first, I was wondering why Barbara Boxer was left off this list, then I read the title more closely: Which Democrat is most likely to play the whistle, not Which Democrat is most likely to blow the whistle! :stuck_out_tongue:

Oops, should I have put this in the Political thread? :blush:

I think it would be one of the first two on the list. The other three just seem too stodgy. I think Arkansas senator Blanche Lincoln would have also been a good choice.

Sen. Hillary Clinton would have been a good one for “Which Democrat is most likely to turn a whistle investment scheme into a multi-million dollar venture.”

Oops, there’s another one for the Political thread! :blush:

See. I have a theory. The politician on this list (or maybe one not on the list) most likely to play the whistle would also be the best VP candidate.

Does the winner get a free whistle to get him started?

5

WB, aremnius!!!

I think Teresa Heinz Kerry might play New Age music on a low whistle made by…never mind.

6

…I just took a wild guess. :smiley:

I’m thinking about guessing North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, but that seems too obvious, so maybe I’ll go with … umm… who were the choices again? it doesn’t display them on the page when you’re typing in a response to a thread. :slight_smile: If I cared I could come back in and edit in the information after I post this. We’ll see, eh?

So what’s a Democrat then? :confused: How do they differ from Republicans? :confused: What are their respective policies on whistle playing? :confused:
Please make sure your answers are in terms non-Americans can understand and at all times try to avoid mentioning politics. :smiley:

The USA nominally has two major parties that share the spoils between them. We also have a few minor (read: insignificant) parties that hang around the fringe, occasionally scoring a point but largely the political equivalent of eunuchs. IOW, it’s not that different from what I perceive to be the case in England.

Some would tell you that the terms “Republican” and “Democrat” are meaningless because they operate in such a monolithic and mutually self-serving manner that they’re all “republicrats” working for mutual gain while preserving the forms of competition. Others would say the shadings across both, but especially the Democrats, are so wide and rainbow-like that there are really many different constituencies trying to act like a common entity.

I know this is confusing (try living withing it!), but let me ask you something: Can you anser your own question with regard to British Liberals and Conservatives?

One answer to your question that I have heard is the following:
The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats drink their coffee in a mug while Republicand us a cup and saucer.
I hope this helps. :boggle:

You’ve already done it Chuck. Just change the number of parties to three and substitute the (increasingly irrelevant) names Labour, Liberal Democrat, and Conservative. All three have the same whistling policy: If you want anything from us, you can whistle for it.

12

Y’see, that’s why I dpon’t get along that well with either. I prefer to chew my coffee dry.

The Democrats are more in favor of funding whistle-development projects (as opposed to weapon-development projects). The Republicans are more likely to leave us with more cash after April 15 to buy whistles with. So we as whistle players need them both! :smiley: (Democratic smilie) :smiley: (Republican smilie)

14

Republicans will leave you with more cash after April 15 to buy more whistles with only if you already have enough money to buy all the whistles that you want or need.

Democrats, on the other hand, are more likely to enact regulations requiring hearing protection when playing whistles in the workplace, but at least they won’t take away your overtime if you whistle in the workplace more than 40 hours a week.

Is Monica Lewinsky still a Democrat? Oh, never mind… forget I said that :blush:

16

now that gave me the best laugh of the day. :laughing:

17

Bush is a Republican. Enough said.

18

I’m literally choking on all the things I could add to this thread. But I think I’ll just stay silent. My luck I’ll insult someone I want to buy a whistle from or sell to in the future.
Mind you I’m not staying out of this to be nice or anything. I just don’t want to screw up some kind of deal down the road.

The Democrats advocate taxing the rich so the poor will have more money to buy SUV’s from companys owned by the rich. The Republicans advocate taxing the poor instead so the rich can keep more of their money thus eliminating the middle man. The republican way is therefore a more efficient form of government. Either way, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and neither party likes whistle blowing.

You can go to the walk-up, or the drive-thru, but you still wind up with the same old happy meal. :smiley:
