Republicans look at the glass and say 'who the hell drank half my water'?

3. It's not his joke...
I first heard it over 15 years ago. And Milton Berle probably stole it a long time before that.

7. And Terry Pratchett says
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been pinching my beer?

--Terry Prachett The Truth

Those are Republicans, imho.
