'Paul Ryan Girl' Video Reveals Fear of Being Openly Conservative in Show Biz
by Katherine Makinney 16 Oct 2012, 2:12 PM PDTSometime in August when the polls were showing an Obama surge and the mainstream press continued to ignore increasingly dismal economic news and even more disturbing developments in the Middle East I decided I had to do something.
The NY Times told me the most distressing thing in my life was that Republicans wanted me to pay for my own contraception. Forget war in the Middle East, or a $16 trillion debt … there was a War on Women going on!
America is the richest country in the world. Five percent of the world’s population generates 21 percent of the world’s wealth. But Americans don’t seem to understand it's a luxury to argue about contraception. And we are going to lose our luxuries fast. With that debt growing close to 10 percent annually, we will soon be arguing over whether we can feed our own people.
Our country is really in trouble. I knew this. But how do you explain it to an electorate who knows more about the Kardashians than the Constitution? Sex and humor! Olivia Newton John’s song “Let’s Get Physical” came to me. That was the answer. We needed to "Get Fiscal." A YouTube video, a parody of that song with lyrics that spoke to the issues, hot girls singing, and a silly cameo by a Paul Ryan poster.
