My friend Jane found what is perhaps the most intriguing, yet disturbing, paragraph written thus far in the 2006 election cycle. From the Politics PA’s Up and Down page:
The good news for Rick Santorum is that three new polls show him just six points behind challenger Bob Casey Jr. There’s no doubt he is making gains. The bad news, for a guy that is “packing on the pounds” coverage of his onion ring eating and “I need some grease” shows he isn’t addressing the small subset of voters who like Santorum because they think he’s sexy.
Sure, not everybody likes to start out their weekend pondering Rick Santorum’s sex appeal, but a small subset of you just might. I salute your fortitude. Personally, I think it’s fun to screw around with his face using ancient old Java Applets and giggling like a chimp. Then again, I easily amused. To each his own.
If the old style DLC Dems can’t win in Pa. against Santorum this year, it will be time to send them to the early retirement home. Right now any Dem should be at least double digits in front of Senator ManonDog.
are you dismissing little ricky’s sex appeal?
I’m sure he looks just terrific to a poodle in heat.
When all is said and done come mid-November, thus entire Santorum-Casey saga will be seen as the perfect storm of stupidity by Democrats of all time. The Dems will force defeat on themselves in an otherwise easy environment for a landslide victory. Why do I say this?
Times are right to criticise Repubs for their overly religious doctrines and their promoting women as second class citizens. Tons ands Tons of ammunition is available in a fairly liberal state to use on Santorum in this arena. Great you say, but wait. What do the great minds in the Dem party do? They put up an exact replica of Santorum on the social issues, especially the women’s rights issues, and thus totally shut off the ammunition available against Santorum. I mean what is Casey going to say, that his version of anti-women behavior isn’t quite as bad as Santorum’s?
No wonder dems are falling asleep in PA and wondering just what is he doing in this big-stakes (supposedly) race? I have never seen so much apologizing before the fact in my life!!
Not everyone is snoozing. We have some of the hottest House races in the nation here too. They’ve been doing a pretty nice job of getting people excited out in the ‘burbs.
After hearing some women gushing that George Bush looked hot in his “Mission Accomplished” flight suit, it was apparent to me that Republican women are easily aroused.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
<rocks back and forth>
I may have to go poke out my eyes.
Poor Republican women. They should come to the other side, where the choices are better:
