Dang commie-lib witches and bunnies! Get off my lawn!

Conservatives significantly less likely to give the kids treats.

Check out this AP poll:

Nearly two-thirds of the people in the survey said their households will distribute Halloween treats to children who come to call; the likeliest to pass out goodies include younger and higher-earning people.

Seventy percent of people in the poll who consider themselves liberals and 67% of the moderates questioned said they would hand out treats, compared with 55% of conservatives.

This is a revealing statistic but I'm not sure what it reveals.

* Maybe conservatives are just too stingy to spend money on kids.

* Maybe they think trick-or-treating encourages liberal welfare culture.

* Or, maybe conservatives just don't like kids -- "No health care or treats for you punks this year! Get off my lawn or I'll set the hose on you!"
