ZOT: How to Tell a Democrat from a Republican During the Holiday Season
stanford.edu ^ | John Carlson

Posted on 12/04/2003 6:18:33 AM PST by ding a ling hear them ring

Republican 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 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 sherry or mulled wine.
Democrats ask for egg nog.

When not in stores, Republicans use a catalog.
Democrats watch for "incredible tv offers" on late night television.

Democrats do a lot of their shopping at Cost-Co and WalMart.
So do Republicans, but they don't admit it.

Democrats give their children gifts that make a political statement.
Republicans give their children gifts that will keep them out of their hair.

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

Republicans spend hundreds of dollars and hour of work decorating the yard with outdoor lights and Christmas displays.
Democrats save their time and money and drive around at night to enjoy the scenery.

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 "Diehard".

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

Republicans wear wide red ties and green sport 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 song is "Deck the Halls".
Young Democrats favorite Christmas song is "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer."
Republicans favorite Christmas song is " White Christmas."
Young Republicans favorite Christmas song is "White Christmas".

Cheapskate Republicans buy an artificial Christmas tree.
Tightfisted Democrats buy a real tree, but they wait until the week before Christmas when the lots lower their prices.

Democratic men like to watch football while their wives, girlfriends or mothers fix holiday meals.
On this, Republicans are in full agreement.

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

We were watching "3-2-1 Penguins!", the slightly less evangelical kids cartoon from Big Idea, the faithful cartoon people who do VeggieTales, and the two kids go up into Grandma's attic to poke around. And there, in the background, without much mention, was "The Lamp." Thought I would laugh my head off!

I sent this out to my friends but edited in your change for the right-wing Republican movie.

'It's a Wonderful Life' is a great movie, but the villian is a capitalistic pig. Wasn't the best choice.

Are you okay, hon? Something seems to have taken all the stuffing out of you this year. You are posting nice things about Republicans.

I have a sneaking suspicion this is a DUmmy troll. There was another thread posted by a weird screen name earlier. Something about Laura Bush's turkey recipe. I tried to post a reply, but the thread got pulled.

A Democrat and a Republican are walking down the street at Christmas time, and encounter a bum. (Today they are called "homeless people.")

"You poor man!" cries the Republican. "Here is my card! Come around to my business tomorrow and I will give you a job so that you may have a Merry Christmas!" And to top it off, the Republican reaches in his wallet, and pulls out a crisp $10.00 bill and gives it to the bum so that he can buy lunch.

"That was a wonderful example of human kindness," says the Democrat, "and I want to do it too!"

The two men proceed down the street, and before long encounter another bum with his hand out. The Democrat winks to the Republican.

"You poor man!" the Democrat cries, and reaches into the Republican's wallet and gives the bum $10.00.

But Democrats call it Evil Imperalists and Native Americans.

And I like egg nog too, but with a little bourbon. ;)

Democrats shop at WalMart because it's an Arkansas-thing--Hillary sat on their board (as well as Dillard's). Republicans shop at Target and K-Mart, and admit it with pride, because the style is alot better and the prices are competitive. Also, WalMart is systematically taking over the markets of the Republican small businessmen, e.g., hardware stores, grocery stores, etc. Why feed the competition?
