President and Right Wing Secular Saint, Ronald Ray-gun ALSO Campaigned Comparing Sex to Voting!

I just love to poke holes in the right wing hypocrisy with a sharp stick.

Talking points memo tracked down a quote of Ronnie 'Star Wars' Ray-Gun campaigning for the presidency in late October 1980, making a clear comparison to voting and sex.  Both the reference to 'pulling on the lever' as a metaphor - a clearly phallic stroking reference - and 'it only hurts for a minute and then it feels just great' sure sounds to me like a comparison to what women are told about losing their virginity, 'for the first time', clearly a virginity reference. 

The biggest difference between the two appeals for voting and a candidate, Ronnie was appealing to men, and Dunham was primarily appealing to women, and was in many respects less crude.

Here's the WaPo quote, found by TPM:
“I know what it’s like to pull the Republican lever for the first time, because I used to be a Democrat myself, and I can tell you it only hurts for a minute and then it feels just great.”
Hypocrites and prudes, afraid of sex, ignorant about sex, intolerant towards sex, and viagra-junkie pervert sex tourists who rant against and of course, grossly misrepresent, sex.

Is the right the 'value party'? Hell no, unless your values are double standards and a bad attitude towards women and sex.

Republicans and Tea Partiers = hypocrites and prudes.
