What is with all of the blonde women married to Repukes??

[RockaFowler]

OK, I'm blonde, so I just gotta ask - why are all the Republican wives of the candidates blondes??

Calista Gingrich (is that really blonde hair?)
Karen Santorum
Ann Romney
Anita Perry
Mary Kaye Huntsman
Carol Wells
Marcus Bachman

1. It's required on the resume

although Laura Bush and Nancy Reagan were not.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Laura got a pass because

Republicans give you extra points for killing an ex-boyfriend.

And I think Nancy scored high enough on the SNBS (Stupid, Narcissistic Bitch Scale) to get an exemption.

[Ecumenist]

5. SNBS!!

[99Forever]

3. Ummmm...

... bleach?

[Ecumenist]

4. They're blonde on their peroxide. Seems to be prerequisite for the position.

[joeybee12]

6. Glad you posted Marcus as a wife...

and yeah, he uses peroxide too, I'm pretty sure.

[RockaFowler]

8. I was debating it, but well he is a blonde

[Jackpine Radical]

13. Poor, homophobic Marcus, working out his Forbidden Urges

by tormenting the queers.

I never tire of posting this abstract. If you hunt, I think you can find the entire article online:

Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal?

Adams, Henry E.;Wright, Lester W.;Lohr, Bethany A.

Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol 105(3), Aug 1996, 440-445. doi: 10.1037/0021-843X.105.3.440

Abstract

The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men ( n  = 35 ) and a group of nonhomophobic men ( n  = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

7. Barbieized. And Callista needs to get rid of that helmet. On the other hand, Newt is fugly.

They go perfectly well together.

[Richardo]

9. I'd say both the hair color and the spouse are lifestyle choices.

[BlueCaliDem]

11. Yep.

As befitting the Rightwing ideology which is close to that of the "perfect" Aryan woman. Considering their rabid and racist base, having a blonde as your wife is a must.

[treestar]

23. Yep. Blonde is a higher status hair color for them.

It's all about status and hierarchies with Republicans. And why would Blonde be the superior hair color? Hmmmmm.

[BlueCaliDem]

25. Exactly!

Yet study after study shows young men prefer brunettes over blondes to take as wife or life partner.

And look, if you're a natural blonde then that's great. But if you have to pull out the peroxide to get there because hubba-dub-dub wants you to fit a certain "image", well, that's just sad.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

31. Because blondes have more fun?

[treestar]

32. Men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses

How did Palin get around that and being a brunette? It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

[JSnuffy]

34. I prefer blondes who wear glasses...

MMmmmm...

Also, I think her glasses were a selling point to many. Stereotype sexy librarian or something...

[madrchsod]

10. can`t get any whiter than a blonde woman...

of course that is`t true but that does`t matter to the racists in the world

[Pachamama]

12. Well, guess its not true that Blondes have more fun.....

...just the idea of seeing any of these men naked or having sex with them...

[alfredo]

14. But does the carpet match the drapes.

[kestrel91316]

15. Also, put pics of Perry and Huntsman and Romney side-by-side and

look at the archetype of the ideal RW male, too.

Ken and Barbie clones, every last one of them. Stepford people.

[RockaFowler]

16. Indeed

I can't believe how much each one of the women look alike (with the exception if Calista - she is just all kinds of scary)

[thelordofhell]

17. Because they're all from Stepford Connecticut

[Saturday]

19. Isn't Karen Santorum a brunette? nt

[RockaFowler]

21. Is she?

She's a little dirty blonde - but a blonde none-the-less

[WI_DEM]

20. there was a fun poll a few years ago that I recall that showed that when it comes to hair color...

more red heads are democrats than republicans, more brunettes are dems than republicans and slightly more blondes are republicans vs. dem. This was a poll of only women. I don't know if they did grey or white or what, but I recall those stats.

[TlalocW]

22. More raven-haired beauties left for me

Can't complain.

[LiberalFighter]

24. Callista's hair is Martian

[JitterbugPerfume]

26. for some reason

[waddirum]

27. don't forget Hermain Cain's mistresses

nt

[LadyHawkAZ]

28. WASP cred n/t

[HopeHoops]

29. Marcus...

- good one!

[stevenleser]

30. Trophy wives married more for how their appearance reflects on their spouses than anything else

Go to any private country club for lunch or dinner and you will also see a statistically aberrant number of young, thin, blonde wives.

[DesertRat]

33. Don't forget Carol Paul
