You better watch out,
you better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why...
...because Conservative Santa's shitlist is not where you want to be this holiday season.
Even the word shattered doesn't adequately describe my heartbreak when I discovered, after all these years of thinking otherwise, that Santa Claus is a Republican. A conservative one, at that:
Americans For Prosperity has launched a "Naughty or Nice" list to highlight lawmakers the conservative group says are either on the wrong or right side of the tax reform debate.
Here's
Conservative Santa's List:

- Lindsey Graham (R)
- Dick Durbin (D)
- Patty Murray (D)

This looks far from complete, especially due to Mitch McConnell's noticeable absence on
both lists. At this point I don't know how to interpret that other than as "PENDING LAB RESULTS."
The source article is also kind enough to provide these astute observations:
The "nice" list features no Democrats.
Most on the nice list have the backing of the Tea Party and are staunch fiscal conservatives.
O RLY?
