I’m not getting ANY presents!

Almost two decades ago our family decided to forgo gift exchanges at Christmas. All it was, was an exchange of shopping lists for things none of really needed.

We each select a charity to give to instead.

So now Christmas is just like Thanksgiving (family – food – friends) – but with better decorations … and a better feeling in our hearts.

That is simply beautiful.

Nothing fits. I’ve been nice but I won’t get presents. I won’t get a lump of coal because the 1% has the market cornered and would certainly not let me have anything I might use to keep warm. And I assume the third answer is for Republican politicians only.

 

BTW I have a pattern to knit a "lump of coal" but it has to be felted to be finished and I am allergic to wool. Anyone interested let me know.

Even though I’ve been nice to most, I was naughty toward the 1%. I don’t give them my money or my time.

I won’t even get coal.

Sorry, can’t help myself. I try to be naughty, but all that repression I was taught as a child keeps popping up.

Lump of coal from the 1% just as Marva pointed out…

You’re missing the most common answer for much of the world:

 

You’ve been nice, but the 1% is going to clout you with a lump of coal anyway.

I lied..oh, I’ve been very naughty, but the expensive presents were just fantasy!;

I found out on Fox News that Santa is a nit-picking white dude, so I’m screwed..

I voted ‘Naughty’.  While I haven’t actually done anything naughty, I would have, if only I could remember how!!  Besides, TomCats are naughty by definition.  I need to have a long talk with the ladies who voted ‘So very, very naughty’. 😀

Vote in the new poll quickly.  It will last less than a week.

Senate, yes. House, no way. The baggers are running out of groups they can legally discriminate against, so they won’t even allow a vote on this.

I forgot to vote earlier. Now I know the results in the Senate were 61 for – 39 against. It almost seems unfair to vote, but I am positive that the House will never allow it. Equal rights for the LGBT community? Never in their black little pseudo-Christian hearts!hearts.

Oops! That vote was only on cloture to vote.

Not the house unless the LGBT community starts to carry guns, go hunting with Ted CrazyTeaBag Cruz, deny climate change, you get the drift.

Based on what I have seen coming out of the Washington Weenie controlled House, there is no way that the rabid base will go for ending employment discrimination against the LGBT community, nor women for that matter, even that might be perceived as less noticeable. I think their hate is stronger than their common sense.

I voted with the majority.  The only real question was whether or not Senate Republicans would goose-step together on their filibuster.  I figured they would not, because many of those who voted for it could use it to deny their policy of hatred toward LGBT people, knowing that it would never get a vote in the House.

Don’t forget to vote in the new poll. 🙂

I think some will try, but I hope there will be enough concerned about keeping their jobs to stop it.

 

Posted by Fred Lemon  October 21, 2013 at 4:49 am.  

 

Teddie and his sock puppets will try but the ones who have not yet drank the tea will stop them.

 

Posted by Rixar13  October 20, 2013 at 9:03 am.  

 

Sadly some will try I believe…

 

 

Posted by John Dasef  October 19, 2013 at 4:18 pm.  

 

I hope they do try. The closer to the mid-term they try, the better our short-attention-span voters will remember it.

Some will try but will not succeed. Rand Paul is the same as is Father(just keeps talking air) Rubio needs another glass of water. Ted Cruz is not even a US citizen

so he do anything. He has nothing to lose but himself.

I said Yes because they Never Learn!:(

Agree Yvonne! It didn't work in the 90's; it didn't work in 2011; and it didn't work in 2013, the outcome for them being even worse.

Some will try. Cruz, Paul, and Rubio in particular want to make names for themselves in anticipation of the 2016 Presidential race. They will probably all pull some stunt to try to default on the National Debt in February.

I vacillated between 'yes' and 'some will try' finally settling on 'yes'. Reasons:

1) Teabaggers are alive and well still living in the Congress;

2) Republican/Teabaggers have tried to repeal Obamacare 42 times proving that they are as persistent as mold blight;

3) I think some Republican/Teabaggers think they won this past little set to.

 

I can also say that I don't think the Republican/Teabaggers will negotiate in good faith. They are ideologues that can only see their own view. They care nothing for the national interests.

I voted Some will try.  The regulars like Batshit and Go-G0 Goose-step will be calling for it, but their last seditious fiasco, clobbered the Republican brand to a major extent.  I don’t think the leadership will be so willing to follow the crazies over the same cliff so soon.  Only time will tell, of course.

There is a new poll, so please vote.
