When I found this joke at snopes.com, they did talk about how it might have originated with Roosevelt

Yes, I agree it does go both ways and more than likely it would not be hard to take this same joke and turn it around. Although it sounds like RSM might have already posted such a turn-around.

RSM, you are still one hell of an idiot
I did not copy you. I am unaware that you even have a post that has a joke even close to this one it. Sorry, but I have not had much time to blog as of late, so I've not been wasting any clicks on the garbage you write.
I pointed out that this was a joke because such things are often passed as being 'fact' and due to my integrity. I wanted to make sure it was known that I was not trying to pass along some piece on unproven propaganda.
As for you 2nd point, I figure I will copy you for the most part there.
This is the ole story that I always love to tell. I always love when someone says their daddy was a republican, their granddaddy was a republican, their whole damn family since the Mayflower were republicans; I think idiots like this one should wake up and see how the republican party has changed since the early 1900's. However that's just it the republican party is full of them.
And just for the record, most liberal I know are not that way because of their family history. My wife's family is a bunch of die-hard republicans who are much like you in that they do no thinking for themselves, and just vote republican blindly. While Xeno turns out to be very liberal, I was not really raised by him and my mother and step-father are very much independents with views that jump between liberal and conservative. My friend who is very active with the democrats this years, his father is a conservative.

Actually, it started, I believe with Teddy Roosevelt.
At least, that's the apocrypha out there. At any rate, it's pretty timeless!

Re: Funny, though that joke sort of goes both ways...
Yes, it does go both ways. There are two interesting things about this post:
1. I am glad to sse that you have no copied me in trying to explain jokes to the rival party. The only porblem is that I understood what you wrote the first time. The reason I do it is that I can point to specific examples when democrats/liberals do not get even the most simple jokes that exist. Glad that you like my work enough to copy it.
2. This is the ole story that I always love to tell. I always love when someone says their daddy was a democrat, their grandaddy was a democrat, their whole damn family since the Mayflower were democrats; I think idiots like this one should wake up and see how the democrat party has changed since the 1700's. However that's just it the democrat party is full of them.
