“I’ve got a whiney Liberal (OK redundant) friend...”
Why?
Cleaver but I prefer P.J. O’Rourke’s take,
“I have only one firm belief about the American political system, and that is this: God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.
God is an elderly or, at any rate, middle aged male, a stern fellow, patriarchal rather than paternal and a great believer in rules and regulations. He holds men accountable for their actions. He has little apparent concern for the material well being of the disadvantaged. He is politically connected, socially powerful and holds the mortgage on literally everything in the world. God is difficult. God is unsentimental. It is very hard to get into God’s heavenly country club.
Santa Claus is another matter. He’s cute. He’s nonthreatening. He’s always cheerful. And he loves animals. He may know who’s been naughty and who’s been nice, but he never does anything about it. He gives everyone everything they want without the thought of quid pro quo. He works hard for charities, and he’s famously generous to the poor. Santa Claus is preferable to God in every way but one: There is no such thing as Santa Claus.”
Santa Clause has a red suit
He’s a communist
And a beard, and long hair
Must be a pacifist
What’s in the pipe that he’s smoking?
Is Santa Claus a Democrat or Republican?

John Lillpop is a recovering liberal, “clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat.
Satire by John W. Lillpop
While nearly everyone has weighed in with speculation as to the likely party affiliation of Jesus, not much has been written about Santa Clause.
Would the jolly old man be a Democrat or a Republican?
Consider Santa’s Democrat tendencies:
* Is a multilingual globalist
* Exploits children to enhance his public image and retain power
* Works just one night a year
* Hangs around with and employs fairies (elves)
* Illegally crosses U.S. borders every year
Then, consider Santa’s Republican tendencies:
* Is a fat, old white guy who probably drinks too much and hates change
* Conspires with big business once a year to rip-off millions of average Americans
* Considers himself “compassionate” although he pays his elves far below minimum wage
* Lives in a foreign land (North pole) to avoid paying U.S. taxes
* Values the bottom line over the environment. Think about all those reindeer droppings
The fact is that Santa seems split fairly evenly between Democrat and Republican. In that sense, the old boy reflects America almost perfectly!

Stop right there. Do yourself a favor and disassociate yourself from this person, it'll be one of the best things you could do for yourself.
After the last election, any of my "friends" that admitted to voting for Obama became ex-friends. They voted to destroy the country, I don't want to associate with those people.
Santa wants every child to have a present. He doesn’t prefer darker or poorer kids. He wants them all to have fun.
Santa shows up at work no matter the weather, and is not afraid of long hours. He never strikes. When working conditions get tough (fog), he uses good old American ingenuity to come up with a technical solution (Rudolph) and keeps on trucking.
Rather than beg for perqs from a union, Santa accepts what is given him on merit alone, be it cookies and milk or a little hit of Scotch.
I never knew he hired elves. Guess I missed that part of the mythology. Does Santa also provide a retirement package and medical insurance?
Good points, thanks~
