Ever notice votes when there have been good looking politicians vs. not-so-goodlooking ones?

that is funny bc just today, i asked my teacher if she was a repub or  demo. and she said she voted by person. i thought that is becoming more common to judge by individual beliefs instead of party, but then she said that she voted for george bush bc he was cuter than kerry. that threw me off!!!

No, because we're too stupid.  People like to vote for charming, charasmatic people.  But those are the type that are dishonest, because if you are honest and upfront people are disappoined in what they hear.  So, they go for the people that lie to them and tell them what they really want to hear.  So, we bring this evil on ourselves.

Pretty people usually have confidence, which helps them more than the looks only.

Well, Republican women tend to be much less slutty - I find that extremely attractive.

Sure it is,and it's a shame ! There was a study not long ago done on the exact reasons we deem one person attractive and the next not. It seems to have a lot to do with symetry...if both sides of your face are 'equal'. Examples of an 'equal' face would be Mel Gibson, the actor, or Cindy Crawford, the model. Their good looks are good looks to us because their faces are symetrical.  What a small thing to decide whether one is socially acceptable or not! What small people we are to judge folks by their looks, anyway! Look at Albert Einstein..no one would EVER accuse him of being physically attractive, yet look at what he accomplished for mankind! What was it Forrest Gump said all the time? Ugly is as ugly does??

We do, and we elect the best in every election; sometimes we even reelect them.\nNotice that I used the word 'best', as in the best of the candidates at the moment.

I see the good in most common people. That said, I have met many in my professional life that are arrogant and dishonest to the bone.\nMost I have known in bussiness are dishonest. All in politics are crooks. Most I have had contact with in Local, State and the Federal Government are in do nothing jobs and are in fact a waste of tax payers money. That's not gloom, that's just fact.

For the most part, no. Elected officials do not magically lose their self interest once they are elected. They may use varying rationalizations to justify particular policies, but it is a rare politician who acts opposite his true interests.

Frist I like to say that people are people, and people make misstakes, and 2nd you should never takes on a side of a "party". Some people who like Bush do not think he is perfect[like me]. But people get binded, ther think that if they say that someone that they subport does wrong that there will look like a fool too. No one like to look that way, so we put on a front. That is why peole piont on Clinton so we do not look so bad.

yes, actually. it has been proven, sadly, that beautiful people get better jobs, more promotions, and are recieved better in society than average or sub-par looking individuals.

There are always going to be people who vote, if only for themselves. It'd be funny to see a 1 to 1 tie, though.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.\n\nI think a review of history might show that the beautiful people have done a lot of ugly disgusting things.

the democrats we have have now only care about how they look in the public's eye, just look at how the kerry family dresses.  and people actually voted for him, good job, all you kerry supporters, that's the way to run the u.s., vote for a man who cares more about his looks than real issues. what were you thinking.

Because right or wrong, better looking people tend to get treated better in society.
