Put it in D and you go forward.
Put it in R and you go backward.
Put it in R and you go backward.

Forward can be devastating if a cliff is just ahead. The premise that forward is always good somehow is faulty.

I prefer this one:
A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington DC. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped both houses of Congress, and they're asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations." "How much is everyone giving, on average?" the driver asks. The man replies, "Roughly a gallon."

All R does is put you back in the rut you were in before.

Nice bumpers sticker but of little substance. I'm not a Republican. Both of the main parties are agents of looting and oppression in my book.

No person in "government service" should be able to get rich :!: :!: Yet they all do!It ain't all President Obama's fault nor is it all President Bush's fault for the shape we are in now.
Congress is at fault! Both D's and R's. Get rid of lobbyists and all PORK would be a step in the right direction IMHO....

Heck, from where I see things, it shouldn't take
that much gas, over 3/4 of those we keep in Congress
are full of GAS already.

What they are full of has a lot more substance than 'gas'.

Sweet Willie has nothing to say on this issue. A closed mouth gathers no feet.

is this a joke? if so, ha,ha
Of course it is a joke. That's what the Dems on here do. They make absurd comments about how great the Democrat party is and then laugh because they think one of the Republicans will get so excited and stroke out.
They also try to use humor to cover up the fact that the Democrat party has been co-opted by the Socialist party.
Keeping with the joke I could also point out that when you put a car in "D" it no longer requires any thought to get the car going somewhere. Of course we can never get out of the box we are in now unless we use "R" and backup to where we started.
