Democrats Turn Christmas Into Political Stunt
 
We often hear from the "other side" of the isle how it is Republicans and Conservatives that are grinches and that they are mean and insensitive lying bastards without a care for civility. Ok, I admit I am blunt at times, but at least that bluntness is truthful! Well, here is what the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has put up to mock Christmas (source WND) with my translation and comments added in bold italics after each verse:

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the House, The Republicans were stirring, especially The Louse.

President Bush is a liar about Iraq even though our leadership said the SAME things years before President Bush was elected

There were gifts to be taken and given to Special Interest Friends No worry about your future, on their Cronies They Spend.

We LOVE socialism! And elect us and we'll make sure you have lots of it! Don't tell anyone that when WE were in power we never once succeeded in reigning in government spending or balancing the budget

Americans were all nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of brighter days danced in their heads.

The economy SUCKS! Why wont you believe us - WHA WHAAAAA!

A girl dreamt of college, a boy a good meal With Democrats in charge it would be a better deal!

We want to spend on OUR cronies! Vote for us and we'll increase socialist and unconstitutional federal spending even FASTER than the Republicans! TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!

But back in the House there arose such a clatter, The Rubber Stamp Gang was busy with blather.

Don't you know that Republicans are all stupid sheep that fall in line lock step behind the President! Which doesn't explain why President Bush has such a hard time getting legislation passed despite Republican control of both houses but hey, what's a little inconsistency


right?


Stealing the gift of a bright, better day DeLay and his pals make middle-America pay.

TAX THE RICH! TAX THE EVIL "RICH"

"Tax Cuts for Millionaires! But no Social Security for you! Humungous Subsidies for Big Oil And higher gas prices too!"

TAX THE EVIL PRICE GOUGING RICH! INSTITUTE SOCIALIST PRICE CONTROLS! CONTROL THE PEOPLE'S RETIREMENT! RAAAAAHHHHRRRRRR!

But before they left they wrapped gifts JUST FOR YOU They personally signed them "With Love -- from Tom, George, and Crew."

Don't tell anyone that we get just as much money (if not more) from the "rich" as they do! The American People are too stupid to figure that out!

They gave to the rich and took from the poor Until finally they grew weary when there was nothing more.

TAX THE EVIL VILE RICH WHICH CREATE JOBS! INSTITUTE GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF THE LAND NOW! VIVA LA SOCIALISM! GIVE MORE MONEY TO THOSE THAT DON'T EARN IT!

So they gassed up their limos and drove off to town And filled up their bellies and really chowed down.

Not a single Democrat in Congress is Rich or rides in a limo (not even Teddy Kennedy or Nancy Pelosi or John Kerry) It is all a lie by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy! WE ARE JUST LIKE YOU! WE HATE ... err WE LOVE AMERICA!

And, I heard them exclaim as they drove out of sight ... . NOOOOO!!!

Oh wait that was us as we realized we are going to lose in 2006 and 2008 on a platform this STUPID! Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Merry Christmas all!
