The Babe Gap

Gil Smart notes that Republicans are trying to outflank Democrats not by fielding candidates that are more qualified - but are more glamorous.

I've actually seen right wingers make it a point that "their" women are hotter so therefore they are somehow on the right side of the issues. This is the sort of shallow ignorance that we're dealing with here.

im outraged there was no "outrage"

Marketing. It happens all the time. If you want to sell a steaming pile; just wrap it in a set of boobs, nice legs and a pretty face. Combine that with it telling you (FOX) that everyone else is wrong, and your neighbors will agree so you should to, and it leads to one conclusion; WE ARE IDIOTS in camo baseball caps.

Not that I'm overly enamored with the Dems right now either. Bunch of pansies!

@OccidentalMan , clearly you are 7, or delusional, or just don't pay attention. Please ask your doctor; medication can help you.

Right wingers are moral cesspools. This is why they publicly get so strung out over peoples' sex lives - they're seething pits of repressed sexuality gone sour, and transformed into perversity of one kind or another.

These Right wing "Babes" are "Dimbo Bimbos" !

Just the way the Republicans like their women, looks with no brains, just shut up and do what we tell you !

. What was that movie in the 70's called ?

@CharBroiled04 huh, i'll check that out... thanks

The babe gap, if there is one, is more a reflection of libertarianism than traditionalism. Libertarians have no problem letting gifted (read: attractive) people rise to the top. Democrats have a more egalitarian world view, which is superficially appealing. But sometimes this means taking cheap shots at gifted people.

Too many people enjoy shitting on their superiors. I’m more worried about that than Sarah Palin.

If these idiots do get elected because of their looks, this country is (even more) doomed.

@seamoremonster nothing wrong with that. later on my australian friend.

[seamoremonster]

@jhamm999 Well. It's has been interesting. I don't think we've shifted each others thinking but at least we were thinking instead of name calling. Take Care.

@seamoremonster i just enjoy the give and take from people exchanging ideas. if they are good enough to reply to me i owe it to do the same.
