Hi Kenn-

Yes, I have family who are (gag) libs. I'm not coming down on the individual. Mostly on the beliefs of full blown, die hard Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy type libs.

scrooge: republican vs. democrat

''The fact is, that Republicans are not only happier, but they
also give more to charity than do Democrats and liberals.'' IT'S TRUE: cause they got the money to go on vacation, buy a second home & have fun! They've got MORE money to GIVE to charity, and they do it because they have to keep up & not be outdone by their neighbors & friends @ the expensive & ''gotta be seen @ charitable events''.
''Similarly, the post-ghostie Scrooge is not a typical liberal
at all. The Scrooge that is so happy to give his fortune
away does not match the actions of a liberal. You see, a
liberal doesn't want to give his own money away, he wants to
give every one else's money away''. AND THE PROBLEM IS? ROLTFL!! Guess What? I can't afford to go to Spain this year, gotta feed my kids & pay for health care. My neighbor went to Portugal last year & planning a trip around the world this year.
NOW, I CAN promise to give $18.00 a month, that's .60 cents a day, (according to the commercials I've seen). We'll cut back & eat spaghetti one day a week to pay for it. No frilly dress, No applause, tyvm! (tongue in cheek, nedl)! I see both sides...just kinda favor one over the other. *wink*? Wanna agree to disagree? *grin*! MAN, I REALLY WANNA GO TO SPAIN, instead of eating spaghetti!
