This Is the Most Sexist Republican Ad of the Year

young women on board for the midterms and 2) they’re confused about how to do it, the College Republican National Committee ad for Rick Scott will settle the question once and for all.
In case there is any debate about whether 1) Republicans really want young women on board for the midterms and 2) they’re confused about how to do it, the College Republican National Committee ad for Rick Scott will settle the question once and for all.

The ad features Brittany, a young undecided voter, who appears to be shopping for a wedding dress, but she’s actually shopping for candidates for the Florida Governor’s race, get it? Because women don’t like dirty old politics, women like wedding dresses!

She has her heart set on the “Rick Scott” wedding dress, because “Rick Scott is becoming a trusted brand — he has new ideas that don’t break your budget.” But then, frumpy old mom chimes in with some Democratic drivel and tries to get her to buy an ugly dress with sleeves called “Charlie Crist.” The ugly dress comes with “additional costs” like “$2 billion in taxes, $3.6 billion in debt, and 15% tuition increases” which are represented, of course, by an ugly veil, ugly sash, and ugly necklace. Because veils are easier to understand than debt, obviously.

There’s also an identical ad running in Illinois, to endorse Bruce Rauner for Governor.

And we wonder why women think Republicans don’t get them.

I would like you to meet the sexist misogynist republicans that created, wrote, and stared in that campaign add



Time was so eager and determined to keep the false meme of the republican war on women alive they themselves declared war on women

 

That's pretty clever. I like it. Of course, the progressives Time's and Sandra Fluke/Whoopie groupie's wouldn't, but what else is new.

 

It isn't the most sexist but this may qualify.

 

Sexist alright! ! ! Nothing but women drooling over white pithey(ss) stuff. There's no reality being anti-sexist, unless of course... well, never mind.

 

Sexist? Not even. That's one clever ad.

 

i wonder if the op would see a commercial aimed at men and equating political candidates with which beer to drink as equally sexist. some people will get their knickers in a twist over the silliest things. is it sexist? of course not. it is comparing the choices we make when deciding between competing products. i suppose it's the fact that this is a republican commercial that really has this particular liberal so hot and bothered. their ideology can brook no opposition and they seem to think those who disagree should be locked away or at least kept silent.

these are commercials designed to catch your eye and your imagination and anyone who takes them so seriously needs to seek the help of a mental health professional as soon as possible.

 

I suppose if you're looking to nitpick and have something to cry about then yeah, it's sexist.

 

I doubt you're surprised that righties don't think sexism exists, they don't even know what it is it's so deeply ingrained.

 

Who claimed sexism doesnt exist... Please quote them... Or run along little Saul...

 

0bama's Cradle to Grave Julia was as bad as it gets. A pitiful women incapable of making it through a single aspect of life without help from the government.

Typical democrat, I guess.

 

Just the posts in this thread alone.


Could you explain "little Saul"... was that an attempt at an insult ?

 

I wish I could like this post a million times. I vote this the post of the week!

 

my comment was satire a joke if you didn't catch that

it was 5 women who created, wrote, and stared in the add
how can women be sexist against other women that is the point of my satire

 

Care to explain what you think is sexism in the ad?

 

None of them suggest that sexism doenst exist. Just it doesnt exist in this ad. I can understand your confusion though Progressives can not think for themselves. Perhaps DU can explain it to you in terms you understand.

 

The Obama Girl videos were the best.

 

I'm going to guess the word Republican made it "sexist" in its mind....

 

Well I'm sure Fox will be back any minute now to back up their claims of this ad being sexist. It's not like they have a habit of disappearing when presented with facts or asking for it in return.

 

Ask Gloria Steinem and the rest of NOW. These are the progressive liberal she-devils who claim to be on the side of women. And they are. If you happen to be a liberal woman toeing the line.

 

The idea that women only shop for wedding dresses (think "woman" think "shop" "dress"), .....how about having a woman shopping for a new Harley? Or deciding what beer she wants to drink? Regressives can't think for themselves...

But I won't argue, if you're a sexist you can never get what sexism is and usually don't want to.

 

So, rather than address the points raised, the Democratic response is whine about imagined racism in the ad?

Looks like a Republican win to me.

 

There weren't any points raised worth talking about .... I doubt Crist is responsible for "$2 billion in taxes, $3.6 billion in debt, and 15% tuition increases"...it's just talking points...

 

Two things, 1)No one is making the claim that women only shop for wedding dresses but you. 2)Wedding dresses symbolize commitment. If you don't think politics and commitment go hand in hand then you can never get it and you probably don't want to.

 

Hmm. Everyone says the economy stinks. The average income for a working class family is down by almost 8,000 dollars since Obama has taken office. The wealthiest 1%'ers have been getting filthy rich during his term. But hey maybe women should be concerned about how they make like 0.2% less then men. Not that everyone's salary is tanking. Good luck with that.

 

i can be a little dense sometimes. i've often said we need a sarcasm font.

so i guess i'll just apologize and aim my remarks toward those fools who do insist on finding misogyny and racism behind even the most innocent remarks. i'm sure we all know a few of them around here.
