No, it's not about men this time.

How to Tell Republicans From Democrats

Warning: Pretty Long.


Democrats buy most of the books that have been banned somewhere.
Republicans form censorship committees and read them as a group.

Democrats give their worn out clothes to those less fortunate.
Republicans wear theirs.

Democrats name their children after currently popular sports figures, politicians, and entertainers.
Republican children are named after their parents or grandparents, according to where the money is.

Republicans tend to keep their shades drawn, although there is seldom any reason why they should.
Democrats ought to, but don't.

Republican boys date Democratic girls. They plan to marry Republican girls, but feel that they're entitled to a little fun first.

Democrats make plans and then do something else.
Republicans follow the plans their grandfathers (or Fathers) made.

Republicans sleep in twin beds, some even in separate rooms.
That is why there are more Democrats.

Republicans 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 eggnog or mulled wine.
Democrats ask for a "BUD".

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 Costco and Wal-Mart.
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 hours 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 "Die Hard".

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 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.

And my personal favorite:
Republicans first began thinking like Republicans when they stopped believing in Santa Claus…
Democrats became Democrats because they never stopped believing in Santa Claus…

Republicans say "Merry Christmas!"
Democrats say "Happy Holidays!"

Too true. Although my mom's side of the family (all Democrats) would say "Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."

Yeah, thats kinda funny, if also horribly predictable... although the Democratic party is also full of exceptionally wealthy and affluent people, what do you think Martha's Vineyard is known for. And my mom sides with Democrats on nearly all issues, but she REFUSES to ever step foot in a Wal-Mart, for completely classist reasons.

Some more out of the same file.


The old man was critically ill. Feeling that death was near, he called his lawyer.
"I want to become a Democrat. Get me a change of registration form."

"You can do it", the lawyer said, "But why? You'll be dead soon, why do you want to become a Democrat?"

"That's my business! Get me the form!"

Four days later, the old man got his registration changed. His lawyer was at his bedside making sure his bill would be paid. (How like a lawyer...)

Suddenly the old man was racked with fits of coughing, and it was clear that this would be the end. Still curious, the lawyer leaned over and said, "Please, before it's too late, tell me why you wanted to become a Democrat so badly before you died?"

In a faint whisper, as he breathed his last, the old man said: "One less Democrat".

:)



A man was sent to Hell for his sins. As he was being taken to his place of eternal torment, he passed a room where Bill Clinton was having an intimate conversation with a beautiful young woman. "What a rip off," the man muttered. "I have to roast for all eternity, and that Democrat gets to spend it with a beautiful woman." Jabbing the man with his pitchfork, the escorting demon snarled, "Who are you to question that woman's punishment?"

(I'm sure you all know this one, but it's fun to read again.)
