This Terrible Need

The story of the Republican National Convention and its attendees, as told through Craigslist ads.

This that I look for in a sexual partner: Good personality, interesting qualities, thinks Obama is a socialist.  I'm imagining this guy's safeword is 'Paul Krugman'

If anywhere would understand this person's identity, it would be tumblr.

Here's the thing. If you are going to not say you are here for the RNC, maybe you should not mention things that everyone knows means you are at the RNC.

This person is the pickiest person on Craigslist. In, fact, it seems like it isn't a person at all, but an ENORMOUS DISEMBODIED REPUBLICAN PHALLUS.  Also, I'm a bit curious as to what distinguishes a person who crossdresses and doesn't pass,  from a 'phony' crossdresser, since he uses two separate categories. I guess it's one of HISTORY'S MYSTERIES

So I guess if you were at the RNC you could have sex with a NYPD cop who literally fetishizes the military. Taking the GOP platform to sexy new heights. I guess it's good that he also agrees with his party's view on contraception.

I wanted to message this guy not because I wanted to have sex with him. More because I want to meet what is almost a mythic figure: The black gay Republican.  It's too bad his preferences of 'all races' is only his sexuality, not a Republican platform point

This guy... He's hitting on a waiter at Hooters? That is just only going to end in tears. But then, his mind somehow goes off the rails. He knows that it's weird to try to get a date off a Hooter's waitress, but then he thinks "well, I know, it would be MUCH less creepier to just write about you on the internet!" Where was that thought process?

You guys...

There are so many of these, it's kind of ridiculous

I feel like I already know too much about her for a craigslist ad, and it's only on the first posting!

However, I guess it's good that she's just looking for other women, so she has less to worry about a trans-vaginal ultrasound

This is excellent in so many ways, it's hard to really enumerate them. Number 1 though is obviously the before and after prayer. But probably the best part is the dramatic "This Terrible Need', along with "Lord, forgive me." For not being gay, he is a bit of a drama queen. As someone said to me, This Terrible Need is so poetic. Is his need intense, or immoral, or both? Perhaps years from now English teachers will use this ad as a way to teach subtlety in language to high school children.
