I am sure you have heard about the femininity study that HuffPO, the Daily Beast, and other rags are talking about. It seems that low-IQ female Republican politicians like Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin are more feminine in appearance than more mentally acute female Democratic politicians like Janet Reno and Madeleine Albright. Yawn. This has prompted conservatives to hoot that Republican women as a whole are hot and to jeer at the liberal “crones.” Here is typical Republican proof of a beauty divide:
This proves it
Two, of course, can play this silly game. And to demonstrate that the Republicans are full of crap, I only have to post two pictures:
Democrat
Republican
Case closed.
So let’s move now to the other finding in the study that everyone so far has overlooked–and that is that male Democratic politicians are more “masculine” than male Republican politicians. I am not exactly sure what “masculine” means in this study but I can say that those of us who love strong manly men know that Democratic men–not just the politicians but Democratic men generally–are the sexiest men alive. We don’t need pictures to prove it. All we have to do is remember the hot, steamy, muscular guys who have sprung loose the coil and sent us blind and howling into the star swirl. They were Democrats all.
So here’s to Democratic men…who respect us and vote for us if we are smart, whether we are pretty or not…who keep our hearts open to the poor and the downtrodden…who inspire us to value love in its many different forms…who help us to live lives of intellectual adventure and scientific passion and wonder. Beautiful or plain, we would not trade places with any Republican alive. So take the study on femininity and stuff it…in a deep pit of hell if such a place can be found outside the shallow imagination of an evangelical Republican idiot.
Jan Brewer is so ugly she’d give a a guy just released from 25 years of solitary confinement a soft-on.
Unless, of course, he is into this:
Or Wicked Witches of the West:
Gotta love Mel Brooks.
The DEMs won this one,
LOL,
The republicans only seemed to be pretty, when they open their mouths you see how ugly they are
To even start a debate over who is prettier is ugly
LOVE IT. Thank you. The juxtaposition of Monroe and Brewer is especially striking!
But in the end, beauty is skin deep. While the Republicans see beauty in the Palins, Bachmanns, etal, I see ugliness. All they have are vacuous brains, cold hearts, depraved souls, and a callous spirit that despises their fellow human beings and the planet on which they live. I hate them.
I fear that they will win. I hope not. I hope the Democrats continue to fight – and to show that the Republicans will only run this country further into the ground, and if that happens, I fear that we will not recover.
I’ve been feeling so fucking low about the state of political affairs.
Thanks for fighting the good fight, friends.
Cheer up….and don’t get down again my friend. This stuff is cyclical every four years. Romney’s so-called bump from debates has already stopped as has Obama’s so-called slide. Whatever momentum asshole Romney had after last week has stopped. Obama is still leading by 50-70 in certain electoral votes. Popular vote polls are deadlocked but hardly matter because Obama is so far ahead in terms of pathways to victory. I think everyone can take it easy…..especially after Biden takes Ryan apart tomorrow. And Obama will shine in 2nd debates. Romney’s contradictions on abortion today is killing him w/ the right is getting lots of traction too. All of his bullshit from last week is getting vetted properly now. Today, the mother of one of the security guys killed in Libya, who Romney has been using as a touchy-feely campaign prop told him to cease and desist exploiting her son for his own benefit. How embarrassing. Both Biden and Obama in their debates will hammer his accomplishments of saving the auto industry (which will cause Obama to surge again in Ohio), providing healthcare to millions with the Affordable Healthcare Act, and real results in making the world safer which has led to predictable dissent around the world….which is what freedom and new found democracy is all about. Further, they will take Romney apart on all of his lies and horseshit. You can count on it. I believe they will effectively turn his so-called strengths into weaknesses….and come this time in two weeks, you’ll wonder why you ever worried. Don’t worry anymore. Obama’s got this.
On another note – re: Romney’s lies? Do you know if the MSM is covering this business? I rarely watch the regular news channels – (and I’ve even turned off msnbc for right now – I’m just weary). I wonder sometimes how much of R/R’s lies and manipulations and general BS is reaching everyone outside our own comfort zones.
Thanks, southpaw. Really, truly. Read it twice, just for reassurance.
I heard about that shameful business re: the man who was killed, and Romney trying to use it to his political advantage. What a prick.
Perhaps the upcoming debates will highlight the Supreme Court – and the potential loss of women’s rights, civil rights, etc, if R/R are elected.
Hugs to y’all and skritches to beagle.
great post funny but scary i agree pukes are very ugly inside and out i do not see any good in this 212 congress ugly greedy fuckfaces will we keep these bastards in power if so another 4 years of dragging the country down and the president plays into thier hand and has no balls like all fucken blue dogs lay down and collect your check in the lobby .
Hah! Didn’t work (tried to post a pic). (I don’t always vote Republican, but when I do I always regret it later).
To post a picture, type an arrow facing to the left. On my keyboard this arrow is on the comma key.
Then after the arrow type img src= “
Then type the URL. ( If I don’t have a URL, I upload a picture from my computer to a WordPress article and WordPress creates a URL for me.)
Then after the URL, type ” /
Then type an arrow facing to the right. On my keyboard, it is on the period key.
I”ll try! Thanks! I tried to upload it – but I used the word press thingie at freerange – which (of course, now that I think of it) wouldn’t have worked.
My gawd, Biden hit it out of the fucking park!!!!!!
I agree. The male talking heads are not honing in on the abortion issue but I think American women will. I don’t think R/R can close the gender gap with a plan to overturn Roe v Wade with their next Supreme Court appointment.
I agree – I don’t think R/R will gain any more women voters. I did like Joe’s answer re: his Catholic faith and abortion though= personally opposed, but he knows the gov’t has no business telling women what to do – it’s between them and their doctors. It’s the old social justice school of Catholicism – not the righteous fuck-you-I-know-what’s-best-for-you version that the Republicans have created. I’m also glad Joe brought in the Supreme Court.
What did you think of the moderator? I thought she did a great job – she controlled the debate – she made it clear she was in charge. I’m sure Rush et.al. will attack her, but hell, they’ve never liked strong women.
I do not remember a debate that was better moderated than this one. She was excellent. The Republicans have come to to no push back and no penetrating questions–especially on the issue of taxation.
OT sorta, but I really “enjoyed” Darrell Issa outing more CIA folks at this stupid open hearing on Benghazi. It’s a Republican forte, I guess.
Wasn’t that terrific? Even more enjoyable was how fuckhead teabagger Jason Chaffetz of Utah outed the CIA and made an ass of himself. These are the moments that Dems need to exploit but never seem to do. They keep taking the high road until they’re out of road. Issa is a first class, corrupt, son-of-a-bitch of the highest order. Sooner or later his own corrupt business past is gonna catch up w/ him.
“They keep taking the high road until they’re out of road.”
Too true. We’re at about 12,000′ and climbing…
Mailed my absentee ballot this week. Voted straight Dem, and with the time I saved, I went through all the initiatives in my state and voted against anything vaguely tbaggerish.
proud of you good buddy. Reminds me of the 20 years I spent overseas, including six at RAB, and never missed a vote (even the little ones) absentee. For every one of you who take the time and trouble to vote absentee, there are 10 jackoffs in this country who don’t even bother to get their lazy asses off the couch and register to vote much less go down the block to vote on Nov 6th. Shameful
