Sen. Roland Burris in the “Spirit of the Season”

Twas the night before Chrismas and all through the house not a creature was heard, not even a mouse.
Dear old Grannie should have been sweetly tucked in her bed, but somethings amiss poor Grannie is dead.
We asked and we cried but the true couldn’t be belied, that poor Grannie’s chemo had tersly denied.

@ Missy,

I, too, never tire of reading it – though, of course I’m biased to the Army version. As to the Blue Room tree ornaments, I hope against hope (and change) that it is an Onion-esque bit of humor. Sad thing is though – that it probably isn’t.

@ArmyLifer:

Me too! My Army lifer is in town from Ft. Riley, can’t wait to see him and his family. Would scoot down to his mom’s house for a visit but we have so much global warming icing up the roads, will have to patiently wait for his promised visit! Our Christmas is looking bright!

Merry Christmas to all!

Here’s an answer to Burris:

T’was the night before Tea Party and all thru the crowd
Conservatives were stirring up venom and bile so very loud
They called out some who were labeled as Rino
And said those are no better than a gutter sleeping Wino!
If your not a pure thinking Conservative then we have some bad news
And we don’t try to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes
We need to define who is 100% “with us”
and if your not then we will feel you are totally against us
So a Senator named Spector switched parties to wit
because the Conservatives cried “as a Republican your not fit!”
They were happy they claimed they had smoked out the man
“get rid of more Rinos” said Limbaugh and friends
From a Liberal viewpoint is from where I have wrote
and thank you so very much for our 60th vote!

Merry Christmas and Happy Death Panels to all here on FA!!

Yeah I know Mata, but I did have a bit of fun with it and hope it at least can provoke a smile

Moosebreath…. what IS IT with you guys?? Why would I want to “walk in someone elses shoes” as you put it. The life a person MAKES for hiself is HIS Fortune, Or his PROBLEM!! Everyonehas the chance to get an education here.. you are too lazy or STUPID to take advantage of it…. tough #$#$!! Libs want to GIVE to everyone….not make em EARN it. ALL you have bred is a bunch of WANTERS….. and no DOERS!! you CANNOT hand out the amounts of money the left want to, WITHOUT any real PROOF you will have the funds to PAY it!! If you have 20 bucks in your wallet.. thats fact. You can safely spend and not worry of any repercussions… NOW if you have NO MONEY in there, and you write 20 bucks worth of checks because I TELL YOU that somehow, 20 bucks will appear in there before the checks hit the bank…. you are a fool. THIS is EXACTLY how Obama’s plan works….they “think”.. they cannot GUARANTEE it’ll be there… and if YOU write those checks.. you get arrested!!! If GOV writes those checks… they just print more dollars to back it.. this devalues the dollar even MORE!!!
You mock the “right” (Note i did NOT say “Republicans”) for pointing out the FACTS (as in TRUTH)…. but since it doesn’t fit in your fantasy world of how things should be… we are to be mocked, are evil, are racists, whatever. Well, I have a name for YOU!! ENEMY!!
You and those like you, because you want to “believe” in some Socialist utopia.. would destroy THIS country to “transform” this nation, to use Obama’s own words… Well I have news for you, the U.S. rulebook doesn’t ALLOW for transformation, at least not when Done this way!!! There is a process… THEY are trying to CIRCUMVENT it.
America is the “land of opportunity”…. NOT the land of “you get it all, work for it or not”….. Sorry…. if you DON’T like it that way, too bad!! But the good news is, flights leave every 15 minutes to socialist/communist nations where you CAN!! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…..
Rant over…

And NO Moosebreath… no smile. I do not look at low life self serving, tax raising lying payoff/bribing treasonists as a “funny thing”…..

Hankster: The walking in someone else’s shoes reference in the poem was about putting pressure on Specter because he has to contend with the people in his state who are not die hard conservative. Some of the Blue Dog Democrats are in the same boat a bit with the Liberal base, but they are only dealing with the reality of the feelings of most of the people in their districts and States. To some degree they have to reflect their constituents, and if the folks who want purity could be in their position and understand their situation, perhaps the Democrats would have only 59 Senators right now.

The repubs are NOT going to change the “tea partiers… they are going to have to change to “GET” the Tea partiers… get Conservative again, or die. As to the LEFT benefiting?? I guess you don’t know how to read polls ??? The LEFT is in some serious trouble… and their constant IGNORING of the Constituents wants and opinions will only make this worse. They are loyal ONLY to the “PARTY”… (Hey, so were the ‘NAZI’S) and the PUBLIC be damned… the fact that in the face of MASS disapproval they continue doing THEIR will and not the will of the people has exposed them for what they truly are… DICTATORS!! Perfect fit of the definition!!! Their single minded will to want to control everything will be their undoing…. all WE need to do is show those on the lower income levels they are being… ENSLAVED!! They don’t like the “S” word!!! And that is EXACTLY how the DEMS treat the public…. Yeah, I don’t think WE are the ones to need to worry… just keep skipping down the path of socialism… time to bring out the “C” word… COMMUNISM!! Socialism just “nices” it … Commie is something even dopes will understand!!
