Twas The Night Before Cliffmas

Twas the night before Cliffmas, when all through the House
Republicans were wondering if their leader was a man or a mouse.
The parameters for the budget talks had been set out with care,
In hopes that a compromise soon would be there.

The taxpayers were uneasy, not snug in their beds,
While visions of higher rates danced in their heads.
And mom with her checkbook and dad with the bills,
Had just settled down with a bottle of pills.


When out on the porch, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
To see the paperboy take off with a dash.


The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid-day to the headlines below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
Another stalemate, oh dear!


With Obama in the driver’s seat, so lively and quick,
I knew Boehner had caved, and it made me sick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted and called them by name:


“Now, NANCY! Now HARRY! Now STENY! Now CHARLIE!
On RICHARD! On BENJAMIN and even JAY CARNEY!”
While the Fed prints more money, which sends prices soaring,
Our representatives in Washington go on a warring.


As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
If they agree on higher tax rates, I think I will die.
So up to the White House Mr. Boehner he flew,
With a handful of compromises and our deductions too!

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the telly
Democrats laughing and clutching their belly.
As I drew in my hand the trusty remote,
And turned up the volume, I thought I would choke.


Obama was delivering a well-polished address,
“If the Republicans don’t give up, we’re all in a mess!”
A bundled of giveaways he has flung on our backs,
We can’t possibly afford, but there is no way to sack.


His eyes – how they twinkled, his math oh so cleaver,
“Raise taxes on the rich and things will get better!”
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
But his sinister plan was beginning to show.

The cuts that he promised were way down the road,
And government spending is set to explode!
He keeps a straight face and a flat little belly,
He passes up bread and butter and jelly.


He is lean and trim, and quite handsome it seems,
But what he is proposing is heartless and mean.
The bill will come due on the next generation,
While the economy flounders and we’re stuck in stagnation.


He winked to the media, and to Michelle gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim as he disappeared out of sight,
“HAPPY CLIFFMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!”

LOL! Same to you, DL!

Excellent! Kudos to Jane Chastain and World Net Daily.

You Teapublicans ABSOLUTELY DESERVE the shit you'll eat for creating this 100% phony "CRISIS" over the meaningless debt ceiling you've used as a "line in the sand".

It will only destroy the country and not Obama as was and continues to be your intent.

As the once-bright future of America begins to erode, the blame for the fall will rightfully be hung around your stupid, racist, know-nothing necks.

As STUPID as Louie Gohmert and Virginia Foxx look, the collective faces of your dumb ass Teapublican party will surpass even their inbred looks.

Before you start spewing your bullshit LS, take the cock out of your mouth, and wipe the jizz out of your eyes....lol

Yeah, Little Stephanie. Let's just spend and spend and spend. None of it will ever come due, and all that money in circulation won't affect the dollar at all. Why, look at how overspending has helped Europe.

In fact, let's eliminate taxes, since we just borrow all we want.

God, you're an idiot, Stevie.

What STUPID fuckers! There are two ways to get out of a serious recession.

One way is to deflate yourself out of it by cutting spending LIKE WE DID AFTER THE 1929 CRASH. Result: A massive and enduring DEPRESSION.

The OTHER way is to create stimulus in the economy LIKE OBAMA DID and AVOID 30% unemployment and a collapse of the global economy.

Cutting back spending at a time like this without generating revenue and reining in the bloated defense budget will do nothing but collapse the economy.

Obama has created more jobs in the less than four years since he was inaugurated than Bush created in eight.

Yeah, Little Stephanie. Let's just spend and spend and spend. None of it will ever come due, and all that money in circulation won't affect the dollar at all. Why, look at how overspending has helped Europe.

Very cute DL. ain't nothing like a Night Before Christmas parody. Ive written a few of them myself. Maybe I'll have to try one for ECCIE...

BTW -- LOUIE GOHMERT is the biggest fucking lunatic whose ever been elected to the US Congress. Ive had the pleasure of his company numerous times ... I always checked my wallet and my asshole as I left the room.

So did he.

fucking idiots want to push it down the road instead of facing the issue now.
Your people created the welfare state and now you want the next ten generations to pay for it.

who's been putting it off year after year? Who'd rather fight than compromise?
