Conan: Is Santa a Democrat or a Republican?

1. Who says the elves are unskilled?

And for all we know they have the best union on the planet.

I'm a little worried about where they are going to relocate when the North Pole thaws, however.

6. I bet this was inspired by Megyn Kelly's "Santa Is A White Guy" declaration

however in this case Conan O'Brian is actually joking.

4. Even the Republicans accuse the Dems as "wanting to be like Santa Claus yuk yuk..."

You know, helping the sick, poor and elderly (SSDI, SS, ACA, Medicare)
generosity, sharing their blessings with others vs hoarding and accumulating,
showing kindness to children (SCHIP, food stamps) That's all a bunch of
do-gooder, Santa Claus crap to those folks.

5. Seems like full on communism to me

but that all depends on how he really treats the elves.

7. Santa is definitely a Republican

1. We know Santa pays his elves in-kind - food, shelter, clothes etc. in lieu of cash payment.

2. We also know Santa believes many laws don't apply to him - the fair labor standards act and the Federal Aviation Regulations come immediately to mind. He flies a non-type-approved aircraft without any instruments through IFR-only airspace.

3. Animal cruelty, thy name is forcing reindeer to fly 24 hours straight in subfreezing conditions.

4. Runs most intrusive espionage operation in history. Santa sees you when you're sleeping and knows when you're awake; the NSA only knows when you're in communication with someone.

5. Has evaded taxes for 400 years.

6. Santa gets his good rep from being a jolly old elf that hands out gifts to all the good girls and boys. Less well known is his habit of leaving lumps of coal in the stockings of children he deems bad.

8. Santa is Jewish and thus most likely a Democrat:

Who else would work that late on Christmas Eve?
