Video: “On the first day of Christmas, the liberals gave to me…”

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 12, 2007 10:46 AM

The NSRC sends along its latest holiday video, which ends: “If you thought our singing was bad . . .Just wait until the Democrats get their hands on your paycheck next year.”

The Hill reports on the stalemate:

Congress has been brought to a grinding halt by hardening Democratic and Republican stances on taxes and spending just days before lawmakers begin leaving Washington for Christmas and New Year’s.

The two sides are, in some cases, refusing even to speak to each other about the massive omnibus and an Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) bill.

Senate Republicans refused to meet Democrats Tuesday on spending and House Democrats rejected the Senate’s AMT “patch,” preparing a new version paid for with corporate tax increases.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) countered the majority’s plans with a proposal that would require Democrats to accept virtually all of President Bush’s demands on spending.

McConnell demanded that Democrats also provide $70 billion for the war with no strings attached.

Frustration boiled over in the Senate, where Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Bush “is impossible — and has been for seven years — to deal with.”

Reid sought to portray senior White House adviser Ed Gillespie as an incarnation of Karl Rove and a mastermind of intransigence.

    Heading out for vacation, before the job is done - if Congress played by the same rules as most companies in the private sector, most of these clowns would be unemployed before they even qualified for vacation time.

    Frustrated? Pack up and leave.

    Bush’s fault - check
    Reid reneged on his promise to not withhold funding for the troops - check.

    We are watching you. When you no longer have Bush to hide behind what then Dingy Harry?

    A grinding halt? Is the implication that Congress usually acts expeditiously? That’s kind of like saying my lawn’s growth came to a grinding halt after the first frost.

    They will hide behind Bush long after he is out of office.

    Democrats are outstanding at offering excuses in lieu of taking responsibility for their actions, no matter how ludicrous those excuses might be.

    I don’t think you can tell a Democrat “Merry Christmas”. I think you have to tell them “happy holidays” or something that has no reference to Christianity. Otherwise, you’re forcing your bigoted, close-minded beliefs on them.

    They just took 2 weeks off at Thanksgiving, (while pretending to be in session in order to prevent Bush from making any recess appointments.)Now they are preparing for Christmas vacation, and they still haven’t passed any spending bills. Yet every day they scream that the new Iraqi Government is moving to Slowly! What a bunch of jack**ses!

    Any time someone disagrees with, contradicts, questions, or argues with liberals and their ideologies they’re “impossible to deal with”.

    It’s the same old hat.

    As I posted ~several weeks ago…if you’d like a well done song that’s dead on the mark, as far as illustrating our out-of-control tax situation goes, check out “Taxman” by the Beatles.

    The song may be ~40 years old, but it can’t be topped.

    Harry Reid is a one trick pony - his continued failure is always someone else’s fault - his successes are unethical, illegal or immoral. Being that it is the Christmas season and I am filled with the milk of human kindness this time of year, I won’t say what I really think about him.

    But Santa’s reindeer are not so constrained and if they poop down Harry’s chimney I’m not going to feel bad about it.
