Single Women Want Obama Naked

Thursday January 24, 2008

Single voters have spoken, and the presidential candidate they most want to see naked is -- drum roll, please -- Barack Obama.

And, in what is surely a more competitive race, the most visually unpleasant White House hopeful -- Ron Paul. (Somewhere, Dennis Kucinich is smiling.)

The results are part of a January 2008 survey of 900 single voters by Engage.com, a part of its "Every Single Vote" campaign to boost voter registration.

“Voting makes you sexier in the eye of a potential romantic,” says Trish McDermott, Engage's vice president of Love.

    Some of the findings:
  • 85% of all singles are open to dating across party lines, with Republicans being more likely than Democrats to cross the political line for love.
  • Thirty-eight percent of all singles surveyed said their vote is influenced by a candidate’s appearance.
  • Singles are most likely to say the economy will be the important issue influencing their presidential choice, followed by the war in Iraq, and then healthcare.

THIS uis the new voter of America?!?!……

forget the policies….forget foreign policy………for the domestic policies of the country….

forget taxes..forget racial discrimination (government funded and mandated affirmative action)……..forget everything that would make this country stronger, more progressive in the way of technology….

forget everything that has anything to do with politics……

you women want to vote for him because you think hes the cutese of the candidates………..

Ive said it before……..when women vote….they seek ’security’………..and the candidate that will ‘promise’ security for these women…WILL get their vote..

thats sad…..

women can be controlled by two things….

a bank account and a penis….

you women are weak……and the downfall of this great nation….along with your same leveled counterparts, the blacks…..you two ‘entities’ are nothing more than a foul in the political arena…..

sure, there are exceptions………but oh so very few….

I think we should LIMIT the voting structure of society…..no blacks, no women…and no guilty ridden White folks….
