Republican Women as Mary Magdalene

It must be hard being a Republican woman right now, especially if you're a teeny bit moderate.  How do you support Mitt Romney and the party's right-wing, misogynist agenda?  Maybe you don't.  Pretend you're a chorus of Republican women and sing to the tune "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar.

We don't know how to love Mitt
What to do, how to back him
We've been hurt, yes really hurt.
In these past few months, when we've seen ourselves
Insulted and demeaned.

We don't know how to take this
We don't see why he slights us
He's a man.  Just a white man,
And we've had so many white men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.

Should we bring him down?
Should we scream and shout?
Should we speak of NOW
Let our feelings out?
We never thought we'd come to this
What's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny,
We should be in this position?
We've made gains, so many gains
We've worked, we've fought, we've done our best
Running every show.
He scares us so.

We never thought we'd come to this
What's it all about?

Yet, if he beats Obama
We'll be lost, we'll be frightened
We couldn't cope, just couldn't cope
We'd turn our heads, we'd back away
We wouldn't want to know.
He scares us so
He brings us low
Stay home, vote no.
