Repug friend sent me this...I disagree with some of it.........
Political Christmas!


Republicans say "Merry Christmas!"
Democrats say "Happy Holidays!"


Republicans help the poor during the holidays
by sending $50 to the Salvation Army.
Democrats help the poor by giving $50,
one buck at a time, to panhandlers on the street.


Democrats get back at the Republicans on their Christmas list by giving them fruitcakes.
Republicans re-wrap them and send them to in-laws.


Democrats let their kids open all the gifts
on Christmas Eve.
Republicans make their kids wait
until Christmas morning.


When toasting the holidays,
Republicans ask for eggnog or mulled wine.
Democrats ask for a "Bud."


When not in stores, Republicans shop from a catalog.
Democrats watch for "incredible TV offers"
on late night television.


Democrats do much of their shopping
at Target and Wal-Mart.
So do Republicans, but they don't admit it.


Republican parents have no problem
buying toy guns for their kids.
Democrats refuse to do so.
That is why their kids pretend to shoot
each other with dolls.


Republicans spends hundreds of dollars and hours
of work decorating the yard with outdoor lights
and Christmas displays.
Democrats save their time and money,
and drive around at night to look at
other people's lights.


Democrats' favorite Christmas movie is
"Miracle on 34th Street."
Republicans' favorite Christmas movie is
"It's a Wonderful Life."
Right-Wing Republicans' favorite Christmas movie is
"Die Hard."


Republicans always take the price tag off
expensive gifts before wrapping.
Democrats also remove price tags off pricey gifts...
and reposition them to make sure they are seen.


Republicans wear wide red ties and green sports jackets during the festive season.
Democrats do too, all year round.


Most Republicans try, at least once, enclosing indulgent, wretchedly maudlin form letters about their families
in their Christmas cards.
Public ridicule from Democrats usually
discourages them from doing it again.


Democrats' favorite Christmas carol is "Deck the Halls."
Young Democrats' favorite Christmas carol is "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer."
Republicans' favorite Christmas carol is "White Christmas."
Young Republicans' favorite Christmas carol is
"White Christmas."


Cheapskate Republicans buy an artificial Christmas tree.
Tight-fisted Democrats buy a real tree,
but they wait until the week before Christmas
when the lots lower their prices.
Green Democrats buy a real tree with roots,
and then replant it after New Years.


Republicans see nothing wrong with letting
their children play "Cowboys and Indians."
Democrats don't either, as long as the Indians win.


Republicans first began thinking like Republicans
when they stopped believing in Santa Claus.
Democrats became Democrats because
they never stopped believing in Santa Claus.


Democrat men like to watch football
while the women fix holiday meals.
On this, Republicans are in full agreement

1. Drivel.
This Democrat invites repukes to the dojo, so he can give them their Christmas ass kicking.

But leaves no tell-tale marks. That take some skill. ;-)

4. This person has been seriously misinformed.
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 07:15 AM by BullGooseLoony
Democrats shop at Walmart? LOL. That's just stupid.

Democrats drink Budweiser, and REPUBLICANS drink wine? I'm sorry, has this person BEEN to San Francisco???

I hate it when these idiots try to act like it's the Democrats who live in trailer parks. It's just Rush and Michael Savage- they put these Orwellian ideas in their heads.

12. Uh, it said "bud", not Budweiser...get it?
But I agree with you about the list. Half of it looks like Ann Coulter wrote it.

:wtf::wtf:

If this is Republican humor, I'm glad they're passing it around. It shows just how stupid and sexist they are.

8. Utter Horsehockey................
generalizations that would hold true about 10% of the time. I could come up with one making the Reslugs look like the total turd blossoms they are, but what would be the point? It would be just as valid as this piece of crap. And as for the last stanza.......I'll let the DU women debunk that sexist generalization!

9. Half of this is just the opposite IMO, and the rest is pure crap!
I get the feeling that the repug that came up with this doesn't get out of the house very often, and seldom ventures far from home when he or she does.

Get a life!

10. Wait they left one off ...
Republicans can't even celebrate Christmas without politicizing it.
Democrats can't celebrate Christmas without enduring endless and mindless Republican stupidity.

11. So explain to me how Democrats can be elitists and drink "Bud" :)
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 07:45 AM by ET Awful
I'll agree that Republicans favorite Christmas song is "White Christmas," but only until they realize that by "white" Bing meant snow, not race.

He should also correct the last one to read "Democratic men help their family in the preparation of the holiday meal, believing that the entire effort and enjoyment should be shared. Republican men sit on their fat asses, as they do year round, and show their chauvinistic ways by yelling such endearing holiday phrases as "Hey WOMAN, bring me another brew out of the fridge."

And why would Republicans like "It's A Wonderful Life?" The movie involves taking down a rich banker by exposing his thievery and greed (he's obviously a Republican). :)

15. Wonderful Life
Quoth the poster:
And why would Republicans like "It's A Wonderful Life?" The movie involves taking down a rich banker by exposing his thievery and greed (he's obviously a Republican)

Whilst Mr. Potter is undeniably a Republican (greed is a given) his thievery is never exposed. The outpouring of good will (and funds) come from all the people George Bailey has helped over the years. The Building and Loan has amassed large quantities of good karma which is repaid when George is in serious trouble.
The moral of the story is that (as Clarence put it) No man is poor as long as he has friends. George's brother Harry put it well in his toast: "Here's to my brother George, the richest man in town!"

Potter, on the other hand, is spending Christmas alone and bitter, Scrooge-like.

16. Ah, so they like it because of the hidden moral that
greed and theft is good, as long as you don't get caught. The little guy can fend for himself fine :).

You're right, I'd forgotten that Potter doesn't get exposed.

17. Don't Forget The Famous Saturday Night Live Skit!!!
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 09:24 AM by ProfessorGAC
When Uncle Billy remembers, during the revelery at the Bailey house where he put the money.

The whole town goes to Potter's place and stomps him into the floor boards!

Absolutely Great!
The Professor

19. Since when did the fact that two insults are mutually exclusive stop them
from throwing both simultaneously at us?

18. Is that faith-based humor?
The kind where you put a bunch of stupid, misleading, and plain ignorant comments in a list and just believe that there is some asshole dumb enough to laugh at it?
