A Libertarian, a Republican, and a Democrat each went to the library to read up on the philosophies of their respective parties.
Unable to find any books about his party, the Libertarian approaches the librarian and asks, "Do you have any books about Libertarians?" The librarian nods and points the Libertarian to the section titled, "American History."
The Republican, unable to find any books about his party, asks the librarian if there are any books about Republicans. She nods and points him to the section titled, "Economics."
The Democrat, unable to find any books about his party, asks the librarian if there are any books about Democrats. She thinks for a minute, then nods and points him to the section titled, "Fantasy."

"The difference between a Republican and a Democrat can best be shown by an analogy. Let's say your car had broken down by the side of the road. The Democrat would be the person who pulls over as soon as he sees your problem, apologizes he didn't get there to help you sooner, and immediately starts fiddling around in your engine. After a half hour, he sheepishly admits he has no idea how a car works and has probably messed it up worse, but didn't feel right leaving you there on the roadside. On the other hand, a Republican would know exactly how to fix your car, but wouldn't pull over because he didn't want to be late for the Golf Tournament For Rich White People Wearing Hideous Clothing" - Dave Barry, as best I can remember it

The actual quotation:
"The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management skills of celery. They're the kind of people who'd stop to help you change a flat, but would somehow manage to set your car on fire. I would be reluctant to entrust them with a Cuisinart, let alone the economy. The Republicans, on the other hand, would know how to fix your tire, but they wouldn't bother to stop because they'd want to be on time for Ugly Pants Night at the country club."
- Dave Barry
