Tell me this isn't the stupidest poll ever done
Were these the same people that were polled on November 2?
It's Christmas and there are no elections. Nothing wrong with a little light-hearted frivolity.
Santa doesn't take money from other people to build his toys.
I assume Santa is rich or that the Elves have a really bad union.
Scrooge and the Grinch were Democrats until they saw the error of their ways. Only then did they became Republicans.
Hobbes new poll reveals tha Zogby is a Doucheb@g.
(Posters following this comment excuse the fact that this is the only word that really fits...)
PJ O'Rourke once wrote a good piece about how God was a Republican and Santa was a Democrat. The gist of it was that Santa knows if you've been bad or good, but doesn't do anything about it.
There is poverty in the world.
We are at war and our military away from loved ones.
There are evil forces trying to remove God from everything.
There are babies being murdered every single day.
There is pornography running rampant.
There are child molesters attacking our children.
There is sadness and tragedy in people's lives.
So Zogby does a stupid (pardon me Mr. Robinson) ASSED poll about Santa, Scrooge???????????? We wonder why the world is in such bad shape. I'm amazed. Surprised? No. Amazed yes at the stupidiy of some of the people in this world. I pray for sanity and common sense to return once again.
Actually, the Grinch started out as a Democrat, then became a Republican after his heart grew "three sizes, plus two". He even changed from vegan to carnivore, insisting that he himself carve the roast beast (which before was a feast he couldn't stand in the least). ;^)
I always suspected that Santa liked partial birth abortion...
Santa is a Democrat? I'll go along with that. What other party would claim that if you're good, a flying fat guy with flying deer will land on your roof, crawl down the chimney of every home and leave free presents for everyone? I believe Kerry made this same claim recently.
Care to guess who gives and who takes?
Santa is a confirmed conservative - afterall, he weeds out the naughty from the nice.
If he was a lefty, he'd look at the naughty as victims, and give them their hearts desire.
Obviously the more accurate "North" poll wasnt taken into account...
Where's Ollie?
What he said.
Perhaps not a stupid poll but stupid respondants. Here are some reasons Santa could not be a democrat:
1. Santa gives presents as rewards for good behavior. This violates the democrat principle that the rewards should be doled out based on need not on merit. This also is discriminatory against children who misbehave and don't follow the rules, again strictly against democrat platform positions.
2. Santa does not take presents away from the privileged children to give them to underpriviledged children. He does not propose new taxes to pay for the toys.
3. Santa is an entrepreneur who outsources his production to low cost non-union workers, i.e. elves, at the North Pole. The International Organization of Dollmakers, Inspectors, and Toymakers (IDIOT) would never support this so Santa cannot possibly stay in the democrat party.
4. Santa uses reindeer to pull his sleigh. PETA would oppose this and democrats care deeply about what PETA would say.
For these reasons, Santa clearly cannot be a democrat.
And quite possibly drinking copious amounts of alcohol.
