There was a democrat that was down on his luck. In order to raise some money he decided to kidnap a kid and hold him for ransom.
He went to the playground, grabbed a kid, took him behind a tree and told him, "I've kidnapped you."
The democrat wrote a note saying "I've kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow morning, put $10,000 in a paper bag and put it beneath the pecan tree next to the slide on the north side of the city playground. Signed, A Democrat."
The Democrat then pinned the note to the kid's shirt and sent him home to show it to his parents.
The next morning the Democrat checked, and sure enough a paper bag was sitting beneath that pecan tree. The Democrat opened up the bag and found the $10,000 with a note. The note said, "How could one Democrat do this to another Democrat?"
