Republicans love VH1’s Rock of Love

It turns out there is such a thing as a "South Park Republican" after all. The animated series, created by irreverent Republicans Trey Parker and Matt Stone, is the cable fave for self-described GOP participants in a Nielsen IAG survey. While Democratic eyes were on The Colbert Report and working men shows like Deadliest Catch and Ax Men, the bipartisan favorite was The Cleaner, a episodic drama about a really cute recovering druggie who helps others get clean, kinda Magnum I.V. meets Touched by an Addict.

The GOP viewers were also fond of the quiz show Cash Cab; Battle 360 about the "real" Enterprise (the destroyer, not the starship); Dr Who; and oddly, the pro-tort legal drama Damages. But the absolute weirdest favorite cable show of Republicans? Rock of Love, starring Poison frontman and former hair band god Bret Michaels stumbling through a house of strippers and assorted other buxom fame whores  women looking for a meal ticket a relationship. Because, really that’s what small town American values are all about…

Meanwhile, the Dems showed their East Coast liberal elitism by tuning into VH1’s other romance show I Love NY .
