Ho Ho Ho I always knew it!!
Santa Claus 'a Democrat', Ebenezer Scrooge, Grinch 'Republicans', New Zogby Poll Finds

(Note: The following information is to be published in December's issue of Zogby's Real America newsletter. For more facts and information like this from Zogby International, check out the latest issue of Zogby's Real America newsletter. Visit
http://www.zogby.com/products/index.cfm for details.)

A plurality of likely voters say that longtime Christmas fixture Santa Claus is a Democrat, a new Zogby International poll reveals. The same survey found voters even more sure of the political leanings of two other Christmas icons: Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch are likely Republicans. The interactive poll of 2562 likely voters was conducted from Wednesday to Friday (December 1 to 3, 2004). The margin of error is +/- 2.0 percentage points.

More than one-in-four respondents (27%) said Santa Claus is a
Democrat, while another 21% believed him to be a political
independent. Those saying "Republican" trailed at 16%. Another 6% believe he is a member of the left-wing Green Party.

Ebenezer Scrooge, the miserly Charles Dickens character in A Christmas Carol, was overwhelmingly picked as a Republican by 43% of respondents-twice the 21% who believed him to be a Democrat. Only 4% said he is an independent, while 8% thought the small businessman was a good fit for the limited-government, anti-tax Libertarian Party.

1. It's true.
Although I thought Santa was Satan, so there ya go.

But I love me some Satan, since I love presents. :P
