The Republicans believe that the wagon train will not make it to the frontier unless some of the old, some of the young, some of the weak, are left behind by the side of the trail.

We Democrats believe that we can make it all the way with the whole family intact, and we have more than once.” WayBelieveWholeStoriesYoungLeftStrongSidesDifferencesBehindsLandRepublicanWeakTrainDemocratTrailsLeft BehindFrontiersWhole FamilyWagons Author:Mario Cuomo
