I Kissed a Republican Gum
Is a pack of gum that important?
August 6, 2012 - 5:48 pm
I am at the beach and stopped in at a candy shop in Palm Beach. As I went to pay for some frozen yogurt, I noticed a pack of gum at the counter stating “I Kissed a Republican” with a girl vomiting into the toilet. I picked it up and looked for the equivalent gum with I Kissed a Democrat but didn’t see one. I found both of them at Amazon however. Yeah, I know, it’s supposed to be a “joke” but having only the former gum displayed at the counter is more of an insult to many customers who may be on the right side of the aisle. But for all I know, they sold out of the Democrat ones. I could have made a stink like I did here but I didn’t.
maybe she has morning sickness?
The poor girl’s head seems to be a little far in for mere sickness. I think most would want to maintain a distance — playing above the rim, so to speak. I know there is a subset of deviance involving toilet play. Perhaps, as a Democrat, she is an adherent — not that there’s anything wrong with that.
In any case, speaking of dietary requirements…or fetishes:
I never was one for chicken. I know it’s supposed to be the healthy meat, but I have a hard time believing any animal is healthy, whose diet includes eating their own excrement. Have you ever handled raw chicken? It’s disgusting. It’s like shaking hands with a progressive — you immediately want to take a shower, despite knowing you can never wash off the slime or the stink. Makes one wonder what’s in a progressive’s diet.

I think she’s got her head so far down in there because she’s drinking…quaffing deeply of the thunder mug to wash the taste of Republican out of her mouth and replace it with the taste of Democrat. What can you say, some people are just wired wrong?
The photo on the gum packet is indeed one used to depict morning sickness, at least here: http://goo.gl/gUWtx
Scroll down to the first picture in this jokes post on ChinaSmack and you will see it is the same. I do not know if this is the original source or not, maybe they are just using the same photo.
I’m feeling ornrey today.
The “I Kissed a Republican” gum, obviously is meant for those leaning left. It is an inexpensive breath mint. “I Kissed a Democrat” gun is more expensive because it is flavored with penicillin. It, therefore, doesn’t sell as well.
Your typo (Freudian slip perhaps?) made me laugh. You said, “‘I Kissed a Democrat’ gun”. I think a gun is a little drastic, don’t you?
Freudian slip is when you say one thing and mean your mother.
Nice.
I don’t see the problem.
First of all, it’s a free country. I can sell only “I kissed a epublican” gum if I want. Nobody forces you to buy it.
Second, they sell both — clearly an enterprenuer who is trying to profit from the political division in the country, not a deocratic party official statement.
Third, a simpler explanation for the lack of the “I kissed a democrat” gum in the store is that stores in democratic areas will tend to stock the anti-republican one and stores in republican areas the anti-democrat ones. Capitalism at work here — cost vs. potential profit.
“First of all, it’s a free country. I can sell only “I kissed a epublican (sic)” gum if I want. Nobody forces you to buy it.”
No is saying they can’t sell it. No one has said anything that even remotely resembles “they shouldn’t be able to sell that”. So, good work knocking down that strawman.
But just like they have a First Amendment right to sell it we have a First Amendment right to say it’s stupid, juvenile and insulting. And if you don’t like that, well, to use your own reasoning no one is forcing you to read it.
In the 2000 election, a Florida bookstore had a large stack of Gore’s “Earth In the Balance” next to an equally large conservative book de jure. Over both stacks was a hand-lettered sign: “Vote Here.”
The owner explained: “It was a hoot to see a bong-toting hippie buying Gore’s book and a redneck with an NRA gimmie-cap buying the other and each glowering at the other across the check-out counter, while I was collecting money from both.”
Second, they sell both — clearly an enterprenuer [sic] who is trying to profit from the political division in the country, not a deocratic[sic] party official statement.
In addition to having spelling problems, you have reading comprehension problems. While Amazon sells both, the candy shop did not.
Read before you bloviate.
Maybe all the Democrat gum sold? I’d buy it…
Why isn’t the seat up?
It’s the next taboo to be broken. And it will be this November.
Clearly they can’t sell Democrats gum. The isles of the store would be choked with Dems chewing and no longer able to move about.
I probably would have said something like this to the clerk or proprietor:
“I see you’ve already sold out of the ‘I kissed a Democrat version’ but I’d expect that.”
Good comeback.
I kissed and, um… whatevered with, any number of Democrats during my college years; I then married and divorced a none-of-the-abover.
Seeing the error of my ways, I dated Republicans, and a Libertarian here and there, for some 7 years thereafter. I am now happily remarried to an absolutely wonderful Christian woman. My wife and I are both “conservatarian” elephant partiers; we’ve been together for 4 years now and married for 3.
Have I done my penance?
Done your penance? Heh. By all appearances, you’re living in sin with a woman who is not your wife. (Matthew, chapter 19)
Once you go Republican you never go back… I mean um…. nevermind. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
looks like she is gagging on the taste of freedom.
Freedom disgusts many females. Why do you suppose bondage porn – 50 shades of it and more! – is so popular among females? The Story of O is over a half-century old, it was written by a female and females your grandmother’s age were passing copies of it around when they were coeds.
She has her head inserted in the Liberal echo-chamber for maximum fidelity.
Kiss Democrats all you want. Just make sure you marry a Republican.
The “I Kissed A Democrat” item is in the personal hygiene section with the other toilet paper.
