Sexy Sexy Republicans

posted by on May 17 at 7:38 AM

This just in from an article in The Hill, one of the insider political rags in DC, about the (non) effect of the Democratic majority on dating:

One female staffer admitted that she wasn’t interested in Democratic guys, even though they are in the majority and she shares the same political views.

I am sooooo not into Dem guys even though I am a Dem,” the aide wrote in an e-mail. “Republican boys are generally more attractive, sharper dressers and throw better parties.”

I drew a similar conclusion about the foxiness of Ds vs. Rs last year while covering the Cantwell/McGavick race.

That trend starts in college, when Democrat boys have to work two jobs and save where the Republican boys can buy everyone drinks on spring break.

Such nice preppies, with their trust funds.

Re: that old 2006 post ... "incessant blathering" -- as opposed to ... "talking a lot"? -- counts as trying to sound smart? Really?

All young men are ugly. Especially me.

Men do not hit their sexual prime until they're late 30's mid 40's. With premature gray hair.

Mmmmmmm....

Yes, yes, that's what REALLY matters--fuckability--while the rest of the country and the world goes to hell in a handbasket.

Actually, andy @6, it matters a lot to voters. I worked on the Dean campaign in '04, and I heard a lot of comments from the mythical 'undecided' voters who were turned off by our bedraggled bunch. Kerry had, by far, the best looking staffers and volunteers. We see what happened there. It wasn't the deciding factor, but it was one of several - we just have to accept that there are voters who make choices for very superficial reasons.

As sad a statement as it is, it's a legitimate thing for a political reporter to notice and comment on.

Note that most of this "fuckability" is related to grooming and dress, not natural sharp looks. Get with it, Dems, and scrub off a little of that hippie funk. Get some decent clothes that fit and weren't knitted by yaks. Bathe, shave. Work on your snappy repartee. See if you can maybe find a clue or two lying around.

Because if you don't, those female staffers are going to MARRY those Republicans, and that will turn out very badly for everyone. And remember: friends don't let friends fuck Republicans.

Remember the line in "Broadcast News" when Albert Brooks warns about Satan? He says something like, "You think The Devil is going to be something monstrous and have big ugly horns? No, he's going to handsome and alluring, but completely soulless and totally without compassion."

What's sexy about, "You're poor because you want to be poor?" Or, "Things like Hummers are what makes America great!" Republicans....feh!

People in DC are shallow and a waste of protein ... film at 11.

Republicans: Embrace the meat market! Use data to determine which fashion and grooming behaviors have the highest return on investment.

Democrats: We need affirmative action for smelly fat slobs! To ensure social justice, we need government regulation of dating.

it's a pretty well know cliche' that ladies are attracted to asshole, pushy, "tough" men that are prone to treat them like shit. so why is the relative attractiveness of Reps considered odd?

I liken this to John Waters' observation that sex with/as a Catholic is better because it's always "sinful" and wrong.

New Summer hobby: fucking hot republicans for sport.

When I was in Spain, a large crowd consisting mostly of super-hot 20-something women gathered outside a store near our hotel to protest something. I wondered what they were demanding. Higher wages for models? Lower prices for thongs? What?

Finally, someone explained they were the socialist party protesting stores for being open on Sunday.

I'd take a bedraggled, kind man over a carefully shaven, distant man ANY day. However, let me say this at the risk of blasphemy: I've met PLENTY of distant Democrats who would rather argue points of policy than make actual connections with real human beings.

In my neighborhood, though, a guy's groomed-ness and sharp dressing indicates far more about his sexual orientation than it does about his political orientation.

I’ve yet to see any Republicans that I’d even remotely consider fucking. Photos… links… anyone?

The ones I’ve seen look mostly like Karl Rove or Kyle Sampson. Sheeeeiiiiiit… the clocks in my house stopped working when that Kyle Sampson came on TV. That is one ugly MF. Ugly on the inside, too.

Lewis Libby is fucking hot. I'll say that much. I'd let him fuck me until he hits the back of my teeth. BAM!

Mr. Poe @ 22,

Please tell me you're joking or have a photo of Scooter from 30 years ago.

@23

Let me put it this way...

I only find older men attractive. I'm asexual outside of ages 35-50.

...mmmmmmmmm!

Tim Gunn, Anderson Cooper, and Scooter Libby; ride me. Hard. Beat me. Yum.

Now that I'm finished jacking off to that awesome picture, I shall pack my bags and go to Florida. See 'yall on Monday.

In all honesty, all of the young Republicans I knew in college were the same: vaguely good-looking in a faded sort of way. That was because what they once had in looks was, by even that early age, going to fat from too much alcohol.

And they couldn't handle their booze. Voracious pukers, one and all.

The funny thing is, a lot of them were VERY gay curious - that, or they just didn't care what they hooked up with (as long as they ended up on bottom, if you know what I mean). If I had a dime for every drunk Republican who grabbed my junk or tried to force his tongue down my throat, I'd be rich.

Give me the "openly bi" (when drunk) liberal boys who could keep it up, play safely and be versatile anyday. Interestingly enough, most of them are now all happily (and monogamously) married, in the "traditional" sense of the word.

But DC is a whole 'nother critter.

Any liberal woman who would lay a finger on a conservative guy needs to grow some standards and some self respect IMMEDIATELY. Absolutely disgusting.
