It's that time of year again!!!
Republicans say "Merry Christmas!"
Democrats say "Season's Greetings!"
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 let their kids open all the gifts on Christmas Eve.
Republicans make their kids wait until Christmas morning.
When not in stores, Republicans shop from a catalog.
Democrats watch for "incredible TV offers" on late night television.
Republicans do much of their shopping at Target and Wal-Mart.
So do Democrats, 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.
Republicans always take the price tags off expensive gifts before wrapping.
Democrats also remove price tags off pricey gifts ... and reposition them to make sure they are seen.
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.
Republican men like to watch football while the women fix holiday meals.
On this, Democrats are in full agreement.
Democrats say "Season's Greetings!"
Not this one.
Democrats let their kids open all the gifts on Christmas Eve.
Nope.
Democrats watch for "incredible TV offers" on late night television.
No.
Republicans do much of their shopping at Target and Wal-Mart.
So do Democrats, but they don't admit it.
What is wrong with Target or Wal-Mart?
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.
My childen have plenty of toy weapons.
Democrats save their time and money, and drive around at night to look at *other* people's lights.
I find Christmas lights on the outside of the house to be a colosal(sp) waste of time & money.
Democrats also remove price tags off pricey gifts ... and reposition them to make sure they are seen.
This Democrat is too poor to buy pricey gifts.
Republicans first began thinking like Republicans when they stopped believing in Santa Claus. Democrats became Democrats because they never stopped believing in Santa Claus.
This Democrat won't lie to his children, so they don't believe in Santa Claus either. The Holy Trinity is a different story (and the Reason for the Season).
Republican men like to watch football while the women fix holiday meals. On this, Democrats are in full agreement.
This Democrat can't cook, so his wife has to. I'll pass on the football, though.
How about using 'liberal' & 'conservative' since both political parties have both 'liberal' & 'conservative' members?
