Why do Republicans and Conservatives Like Blondes?

[dynasaw]

Has anyone noticed that their spokeswomen, commentators, wives, mistresses and play mates are more often than not, blondes?

1. Hoo boy. I'm afraid to answer that one ...

:scared:

2. Not just blondes...

blue-eyed, blonde, hearty-stock, toothsome, "childbearing-hipped". I do have to say it's not all Republicans and Conservatives (I know some lovely people just like you or I who happen to be Republicans but don't flaunt or politicize everything so you'd never know unless you asked.)...it's a certain and large cadre though of vocal devotedly ideologically-conservatives though. It's the Aryan ideal...whoever said Hitler's dreams for building a master race was dead never watched Fox News Channel. It's writ large for the world to see:

Conservatism is fascism.

12. I dunno, that excludes Ann Coulter, and they all slobber over her

Pretty much everything after "blue-eyed" and "blonde" is about as anti-Coulter as you can get...

[Chan790]

13. She's toothsome...

got more teeth than a British royal. I think they're turned on by the personality in that case though...is there something appealing about the fact that she seems like the sort that would eat her young...like coyote do?

3. Because women are just objects to them not people

Barbie is a blonde, so are most blow up dolls. Our culture has deemed blonde hair, blue eyes and large breasts to be the physical ideal for women. That's fine with me, as a brown eyed brunette with a small bra size, I find it weeds out a lot of jerks. (not meant to be a slam against blondes, I know quite a few that are very smart, very cool people and they DO have to deal with a multitude of idiots coming on to them)

4. Angels are blonde, doncha know.

It's a variant of "the bigger the hair, the closer to God." O8)

5. So only conservatives liked Marilyn Monroe, Jane Mansfield, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Simpson ?

So nearly all 10 to 95 year old straight, white males are conservatives?

News to me... ;)

Me? I love 'em all- short, tall, plump, skinny, dark skinned, light skinned, blonde, brunette or red head- I'm not choosey.

6. well none of those women are natural blondes

they dyed their hair so they could make it in showbiz

7. "Aryan beauty seen through Semitic eyes"...

is how Quentin Crisp characterized Hollywood's creation of "the blonde beauty"

[Dr Fate]

10. My guess is most of the blondes described in the OP go to the hair-dresser as well.

8. No offence to non-fascist blondes

But...

9. ...and she grew up to be on CNN.....nt

11. ok german's not my language of choice

japanese and spanish are... what's that poster saying?

[Chan790]

15. Rough translation:

"Youth serves the Fuhrer."

I can't translate the bottom because I have no clue what letter that is that looks like a backwards C and I just started learning German.

Edit: They're J's. "Alle Zehnjahrigen in die HJ" means roughly "All ten year olds in (I think it colloquially means something like "must join") the HJ(Hitlerjugend...Hitler Youth).

[baldguy]

18. I think they're Js

"All 10 yr olds in the HJ"? (Hitler-Jugend)

[Chan790]

19. Thanks...

I figured that out by running a search for the poster on Google, but it's nice to have someone confirm that for me as well as my translation. I'm taking German now in an online course and I'm only about 3 weeks into the introductory course so I was unsure.

14. Gentlemen prefer blondes, allegedly. But I guess Fascists do too.

:shrug:

[Quantess]

16. This is a racist discussion.

Not to mention sexist.

Edit to add: and playing into stereotypes, with dubious basis in reality.

[mitchum]

17. How is it racist? Anyone can buy a dye job

[Quantess]

20. There are many natural blondes in this world, and they can't help being born with light hair.

I'm no stranger to hair dye myself. It's been several unnatural colors, but yet, I'm the same person underneath, no matter what my hair color happens to be. The stereotypes of blondes (or hair colors in general) are more telling of the people who love to stereotype, than they do the blondes themselves.

[Chan790]

21. Nobody is saying anything about blondes...

it's a thread of idle chatter questioning why republicans seem to be disproportionately attracted to blondes. That's not really speculation, it's a documentable phenomena. It says a great deal about Republicans...and nothing about blondes.

[Quantess]

22. But there's an implication that blonde women are attracted to republican men.

That's the most offensive part of this whole thread!

(I'll let the Nazi propaganda upthread slide)

[rolltideroll]

23. All idiots like shiny things nt

[applegrove]

24. The GOP has been identifying attractive women and grooming them to be political

pundits for years. They have a whole stable of them. And I guess most people think blonde is better. At least in Hollywood.
