There is a reason why that was on The Colbert Report.

Republican women, predominantly white women, are the majority of the women who claimed Sarah Palin was "like them."

Sarah Palin's alleged stupidity was somewhat buffered by Hilary Clinton's alleged awesomeness. Plus, Palin was only a V.P. hopeful whereas Clinton was a Presidential hopeful.

A lot of Black women expressed the Black Feminist conflict that has gone on for generations: Do I align with Obama because he is "like me" racially or do I align with Clinton because she is "like me" in terms of gender?

(Sure, we can claim that we only align ourselves based on policies and political platforms but the gender, racial and ethnic, religious, socioeconomic status, education, and other demographics of candidates have always mattered.)

Yeah, strangely enough, a lot of the women I know from sorority life and church are predominantly white and, unfortunately, predominantly Republican.

The Republican thing is a cross to bear, let me tell you. I've learned to keep my mouth shut in social situations because otherwise it becomes a whole lot of awkward.

Both Democrat and Republican are bowls of feces.

No stupid Dems, huh! Maybe you should poll people in all 57 states.

I didn't say Republicans were stupid. I said Palin was a nut.

I didn't say I was a Democrat, either. (I'm not.) I just find the Republicans to be a special pain in the butt.

Thanks to 1911 United for bringing so many issues to the forefront:

1. Obama is Black but is that why some people support him?
2. Sarah Palin may not be "like me."
3. Democrats and Republicans have stinky feet.
DrPhil, you always start the best threads.

Republicans are a pain in the right cheek. Democrats are a pain in the left cheek. The Independents and other affiliations are all over the place so they are a pain in the assssssshoooooooole.
