With Congress Theirs, DC Democrats Getting Laid More

With not-so-great power comes not-so-great dating opportunities.

I'll quote this:

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.”

The subtext there is that "Democratic 'men' are often only barely men."

It's true. They're wussies, if I can use an Andrew Sullivan approved homophobic slur.

If I can use a Schwarzeneggerian homophobic slur (also tacitly approved by Sullivan, as he's a big fan of the pro-gay, pro-deltoid governor), they're girlymen.

I can't think I'm the only one who's heard the following from a girl he's starting to date:

"I'm not conservative, and I don't like the Republicans very much. I'm pro-choice and pro-gay-marriage and pro-environment and all that other gay shit. But for some reason I keep finding myself in relationships with conservative-leaning men..."

That's not entirely unexpected, given the fact that (among whites at least, my sample pool for this survey) men skew much more conservative than women.

And I guess it's also a self-selecting sample: I mean, duh, who else are conservative guys going to date apart from women who tend to date conservative guys?

But even though my sample is pitiably insufficient and there are lots of reasons to suspect it's bunk even beyond that, I'm still going to universalize from my experience and conclude that liberal men are simply too pussy to get chicks.
