Since you are my readers, and I have not been much of a traveller, I will not talk about people a thousand miles off, but come as near home as I can. As the time is short, I will leave out all the flattery, and retain all the criticism. — Henry David Thoreau

The price of democracy

Sunday July 25, 2004 09:36

Today’s Sunday morning special…

It would be fair to say that your average US Liberal has a more relaxed attitude towards sex than your average Republican. In an effort to grab some attention, or to swing (pun intended) November’s Presidential election, the Carbon Defence League has just launched a new website. Titled “Fuck the vote: Because Liberals are hotter” (not work safe!), the site aims to court Republican votes through the power of sex.

SEXY LIBERALS OF THE U.S. UNITE in taking back the government from the sexually repressed, right-wing, zealots in control! Everyone knows liberals are hotter than conservatives - we look hotter, we dress hotter, our ideas are hotter, and we are infinitely hotter in the sack. We must use this to our advantage - as one more weapon in a diverse arsenal to strip the conservatives of their power (by stripping them of their clothes first).

Believe it or not, even the most seemingly deeply rooted right-wing ideologue can be manipulated by sex. As we all know, the sex drive is a powerful beast that has the potential to change people. People lie for sex, they cheat for sex, they even kill for sex - and you can be sure that they will change the way they think (and therefore vote) for sex. All you need to be armed with are your sexy progressive values, a razor-sharp wit, your genitalia, and a mindset that doesn’t mind taking one for the team.

If you’re horrified by the thought that people could take sex (or voting) so lightly, you should read about some new Australian research showing that “Teenagers with mobile phones are twice as likely to drink, smoke, take drugs and have sex as those who don’t…“.
