As a former republican (Obama changed that for me, and George Bush) I can understand and empathize with the religious right-republican view of the world. I don't think this girl (does she strike anyone as a woman?) represents good, honest republicans in any way.

She doesn't seem to care about others who are less fortunate, I feel because being handed good looks and I am guessing wealthy paarents, (if she hadn't been she would be a bit more tolerant) she feels that everyone has had the easy life she has. She can't understand what it feels like to be black, gay, fat, ugly or anything besides *petite blonde middle-class cheerleader* in this country that worships exactly what she is.

I do understand why she would have this VIEWpoint. I do think it would broaden her horizon to wear a fat suit or black face for about a week, or be dropped in the getto wearing a fat suit and black face and be forced to go wait at the foodstamp office for an appointment, then stand in line at the grocery store and have someone shake their head at your pulling out those foodstamps or that card to pay for your food. Let her understand what it feels like for people who don't look like and haven't had the advantages she has had. She's young and pretty. The world's her oyster. Isn't that way for everyone? Please Barbara, it would be nice to see a Republican with some life experience and credibility.
