Women Voters Can't Help Fawning Over Sexist GOP 'We Should Know Better-But There's Just Something...
WASHINGTONSaying they know its no good for them but they just can't help themselves, gushing women voters acknowledged Monday the overwhelming and uncontrollable attraction they feel toward the sexist Republican party.
Smitten female voters across the nation told reporters that despite the way it treats them, they still find everything about the GOPfrom its reckless, devil-may-care neglect of women's health issues to its devastatingly bold misogynycompletely irresistible.
"They openly insult me, undermine my intelligence, and act as if I lack the basic responsibility to take care of myself, but every time I hear them talking about why I shouldn't be able to choose what I do with my own body, I get a little turned on," registered voter Jennifer Wilson said. "My friends keep telling me I'll get burned like I always do when I elect guys who think their authority extends to my uterus, but there's just something unbelievably sexy about politicians who see something they want and then go out and take it."
"Sure, I could probably find a party that would respect me and be sympathetic toward my desire to make my own personal health care decisions," Wilson continued. "But what can I say? That's not what drives me wild."

I got scared when I saw the title but, even though it's a spoof, it seems many GOP women must feel this way!

it sounded kinda true, went over the top, then I was like oh the onion, yep there it is. Still it is way too close to the truth for Republican women.

I go to college with far too many of them. It's only a joke if you're far enough from it to not have to see it daily in real life. And they think they're feminists - go figure.
