Virginia Republican: "My opponent doesn't care about TEH TROUPZZ. He hates veterans! Here is a picture of a veteran that he hates!"
Her opponent: "My opponent apparently doesn't even know what an American vet *looks like*, because that dude in her posters is in a SOVIET uniform."

Who needs "Virginia" when you've got "Republican" for explanation-of-idiocy power?

Though I have noticed that the women Republicans seem to like in politics are idiots or batshit insane, while the non-Republican women whom Republicans appear to hate the hardest are often noticeably intelligent for politicians (or even, in the case of Warren, for example, intelligent even when compared to non-politicians). The republicans seem to hate smart women opponents more -- or at least speak of them more vitriololically -- than men who oppose them, and pick women less intelligent than most male Republicans to elevate. It's like Republicans can't abide intelligent women or something.

This still doesn't support [livejournal.com profile] disgruntledgrrl's suggested that all women in politics are dumber than men in the same field, of course, even if I'm right.

Or like intelligent women won't join an anti-woman party.

It's the same reason why the most prominent non-white Republicans are Herman Cain and Alan Keyes: It takes stupidity to join a political party dedicated to your own destruction, and TRULY IMPRESSIVE stupidity to allow that party to promote you as their token.
