Meet the new faces of GOP "feminism"

Edited on Fri Jun-12-09 09:11 AM by Hugabear

Kind of says a lot, doesn't it...

The best the GOP can offer up are two dim-witted beauty queens?

3. There is a lot more to charisma than looks.

But we'll let them figure that out. Maybe in their lucid post onanism moments?

5. Being better looking helps in politics, as does being tall. nt

6. This is partially true...poor Dennis.

Well his wife is tall and quite attractive.

Hillary is not a knockout or a WMBA player but she does well. If she can pull off SOS well I can see a nomination in 2016...possibly a successful one.

7. Kucinich is doomed by being short and looking like Bat Boy. Sad, but true. Hillary will

be too old in '16.

9. He's not so poor.

Having a tall, beautiful, much younger wife adds about three feet to his height. How many times have I read DU'ers talking about how she alone is some sort of proof about how extraordinary a man he must be. I mean, if he could get a woman THAT hot to marry him, he MUST be Prince Charming.

For all our progressive nature, we still do a lot of thinking with our lizard brain around here.

8. What is sexist about the "real sarah palin" thread

Edited on Fri Jun-12-09 09:31 AM by merh

one of your links go to a deleted thread/topic/post

And, if men wore sandals or open toed shoes or went around barefoot, their toes would be subjected to ridicule.

I despise sexism, but even more, I despise any criticism of a woman in the public or in politics being labeled sexism.

Sarah Palin is not a feminist.

11. I think they're a little unclear on the concept.

A person is not a feminist simply by virtue of being female. They must stand for women's rights, including the right to choose, to use contraception, and to marry whomever they wish, even another woman.

If Palin and Prejean are feminists, the word no longer has any meaning. These two women are ANTI-feminists.
