I think part of Hillary's worldwide appeal & success can be attributed to her beauty & charisma

[mtnsnake]

Anyone who thinks otherwise has never had the good fortune to have seen this lady in person. She rocks. Looks-wise, she reminds me of whatever her name is who was the mother of the Partridge family in that old TV show.

A lot of it is in the sound of her voice. It's got a magical tone to it if you know what I mean, like in a Carly Simon kind of way. Add her captivating voice to her wholesome good looks, and it spells a recipe for instant TURN-ON. Then add all of that to her brilliance, experience, & performance, and it's no small wonder that she's practically unbeatable. No matter who the repukes pit against her, they'll be calling the 2008 Presidential election the second coming of "Beauty and the Beast", especially if any of those pukes like Guilaini, McCain, or Thompson goes against her.

The lady is HOT.

[Virginia Dare]

1. Shirley Jones...

[mtnsnake]

2. Yeah, her, Thanks.

:toast:

[Tellurian]

39. Good one, mtnsnake....

Thanks for posting! :hi:

[mtnsnake]

43. My pleasure, Tellurian

Hillary just inspires. If it's not her wisdom, it's her voice. If it's not her voice it's her eyes. If it's not her eyes, it's her smile. If it's not her smile, it's her words. The lady has an arsenal of weapons, it's as simple as that. If she gets the nod, and it looks like she will, I can't wait to see her kick Republican ass, Clinton style. yeah

:hi:

[Tellurian]

57. Yes, mtnsnake..

Right On! I can't wait for the fun to begin taking those rapscallions to task.. anyone want to sign up with us..just e-mail me at DU... You are all welcome!

[saracat]

10. Hillary is not unattractive and sometimes looks really pretty but she does NOT look or sound like

Shirley Jones. This is just silly.They are each completely different kinds of women.

[Virginia Dare]

14. Except for the hair, I agree..

I just thought perhaps a visual would help in this thread. Can't do anything about the Carly Simon audio, maybe somebody can youtube her or something.

Slightly OT, but I think Carly is a Hillary supporter? Don't know about Shirley.

[saracat]

15. She absolutely does NOT sound like Carly Simon either.Because I sound like Carly.Seriously and I do

NOT sound like Hillary. I had a vocal coach who was a friend of Carly's and she said "Are you aware you sound just like Carly Simon. both speaking and singing?" I had an interview with Carly, (I didn't do it ,just listened to it,) and everyone thought it was me, including myself. It was very odd. Neither of us sound like Hillary. Part of it is where we were raised. Both Carly and I are from Westchester NY and Hillary is not. She is a Chicago girl and both Carly and I have lower timbres to our voice. But I find nothing wrong with Hillary's voice. the only criticism some might make is she has a bit of a flat midwestern accent.Big deal.

[Virginia Dare]

18. Love Carly...

the lady's got talent. You're lucky to sound like her.

Hillary does have the midwest twang.

[saracat]

24. I like Carly but dislike sounding like anyone else!I thought speech for a bit

so I am really concious of voice inflection and accent.Hillary also tends to go a bit monotone.

[tblue]

54. "You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht..." Is that how you sound?

"But that's the way I've always heard it should be. You want to ma-arry me...." LOL!

[saracat]

65. Not quite.I didn't study singing for that long! Perhaps if I did I'd have her money! LOL!

My speaking voice does sound like hers though.At least it did before I developed some vocal cord issues.But it is still close.

77. May I ask if you ever post anything but insults? Just curious.

Other than occasionally chiming in on a pro Hillary piece.

[durrrty libby]

78. To quote a hypocrite........"shoo fly"

[saracat]

79. You are aware this is against DU rules?

[mtnsnake]

80. I said her voice has , "a magical tone to it, like in a Carly Simon kind of way"

I didn't mean that Hillary sounded just like Carly. I meant it just as I said...that her voice has a magical tone to it...."in a Carly Simon kind of way", which is relating more to both their voices being magical...or rich...than sounding exactly alike. I think people read too quickly sometimes and then get all technical. No problem, though.

Anyway, the Goddess of Peace's voice is one of those voices (like Carly's) that just does things to you. Mary Hart had a "spoken" voice that was a knockout, too. I think rich sounding voices are awesome, even if they're just the spoken voice.

[saracat]

82. Who calls her the "Goddess of Peace'? Isn't that a very odd name for a known

hawk?

[mtnsnake]

83. Heck no. Don't put too much stock in all the hawkish labels on her. It's all an illusion.

In this messed up country of ours, there's no way a liberal woman like Hillary will ever get elected without putting on an air of slight hawkishness. Don't worry, when the Goddess of Peace gets elected, she'll make things right. She'll end the war, she'll stop sounding so hawkish, and she'll use diplomacy as her means of making peace...with war only an option if the life of our country depended on it and if it was the last and final option.

Once elected, she'll make every nightmare come true for Republicans. Everything they've always dreaded about her will come true because she'll be the liberal president that they always feared she would be. By the 2nd year of her first term, even the people on the far left will be celebrating and dancing in the streets and saying how they were so wrong about her. Just wait and see. :smoke:

[saracat]

84. Well, she will get elected without my support in the primary.I lost what little support I had

for her when she voted for Kyl/Lieberman. She wasn't in a good place refusing to disavow her Iraq war vote and instead she confirmed her vote with this latest action. She is not a real "feminist "' if she feels she has to "pretend to "hawkishness" to get elected. I do not respect such duplicity and I judge a woman by exactly the same standards that I judge a male candidate. Integrity counts and she doesn't have it. I will never celebrate the election of a political expedient.

[coalition_unwilling]

38. And the blood of 1,000,000 Iraqis dripping off her hands -n/t

[rinsd]

40. Chime in if you've seen Shirley in Grandma's Boy

Puts a whole new perspective on this thread :evilgrin:

[durrrty libby]

3. Interesting endorsement

[movonne]

4. That's a good reason to vote for her....the problem is not her beauty

and charisma..it's her war stance...

[Common Sense Party]

5. To each his own.

Her voice, to me, evokes images of glass and gerbils in a Cuisinart.

While she's not butt ugly, there is definitely no TURN-ON or HOT response.

And that's not how I choose my presidential candidates anyway.

[durrrty libby]

8. "glass and gerbils"? hmmm ....fancy that.

[rudy23]

6. When I look at her, this is what I see

[durrrty libby]

7. Get thee to an optometrist quick. Then off to a psychiatrist.

You can do it.You can do it. Go you

[saracat]

9. Who is that? Is it Ayn Rand?She is lovely whoever it is!

[rudy23]

11. Physically lovely, sure. Spiritually....not so much.

I'm not a fan of her, or Mrs. Clinton's laissez-faire philosophy.

[saracat]

13. But who is it? Is it Rand?

[T.Ruth2power]

17. It's Ayn Rand

Thinking beauty and charisma are deciding elements for a political figure is precisely the problem.

And of course there's the massive corporate machinery that sponsors her.

[saracat]

22. I had no idea Ayn Rand was that pretty.Who knew? Charisma is often

the deciding factor in elections because it enables the candidate to get his meaage across and be 'listened ' to.Hillary does not have any charisma.Her husband has it in buckets.Hillary has the Clinton machine behind her.She doesn't need charisam and doesn't want to be listened to.That is why she alters her positions so much.She is a creature of politcal experdiency.

[rudy23]

32. I think Hillary would be beautiful if she had charisma

I think she's a very physically attractive woman. Until she starts talking policy.

[Carrieyazel]

12. You're kidding, right. Shirley Jones was beautiful. Hillary: not so much.

She's not unattractive. And sometimes she does look attractive. But, comparing her to Shirley?

And you're talking about charisma and Hillary in the same sentence? She possesses little of that.

[cuke]

16. Take a closer look

Same forehead, similar eyes (HRC's lower lid is a little straighter), identical cheek bones, identical lines around the mouth, similar nose (HRC's has a bit of a hook) similar lips (thin upper, thicker lower in similar proportions) and chin

[saracat]

19. Hillary is much rounder than Shirly Jones with a broader face. Shrley has a swan neck and is very

graceful.Hillary is much more compact rather than elongated.

[cuke]

25. You're right about that

I wouldn't say "much" rounder but there is a difference. So yeah, HRC's face is longer and thinner by a bit. But not enough to make the differences fade away. And the necks are completely different

I wouldn't say they could double for each other, but they do look very much alike. Not that anyone would mistake one for the other.

[emilyg]

34. I met Sen. Clinton - fell in love.

[kdmorris]

20. Are you being sarcastic? or.. trying to make a point?

Please say you are. Because if we have gotten to the point where we choose our political candidates by how many people they "turn-on", this country is even further fucked than I would have thought.

[Fresh_Start]

21. You must not have been watching the MSM

gush over Fred's manly man qualities

[kdmorris]

23. That would have made me vomit

and yes, your assumption is correct. I avoid the MSM like the plague. I only watch it when I HAVE to, and that's usually only when something is going on that I need the RW's point of view on.

[Fresh_Start]

26. Sadly, there are many people who select the candidate on

the most trivial of reasons specifically appearance or how they are staged to appear.

Bush is a prime example of someone who was STAGED like a house for sale to appeal to the target population.

[Virginia Dare]

27. Right, selected mostly because he was the one people felt like..

they could sit at a bar and "have a beer with". HOw's that working now?

A friend of mine's mother wouldn't vote for Kerry because she didn't like his wife.

People think up all sorts of ridiculous reasons to vote or not vote for a candidate.

[kdmorris]

28. THAT was what I was just saying to my husband!

THIS is how we ended up with a President that "everyone wants to have a beer with". He was marketed to us and a little less than half of us thought that was fine and dandy.

[Fresh_Start]

33. The tiniest amount of research into Bush

should have made the voters run for the hills.

His fiscal incompetence was evident both in his personal life and his term as governor.

His lack of Christian values should have been obvious from his pitiful performance re death sentence appeals.

His surrounding himself with cronies instead of competent people right out of the starting gate

The politicals of innuendo and personal destruction, obvious from his Texas campaigns.

The man had NO qualifications for the office.

[kdmorris]

35. Molly Ivins tried to save us...tried to warn us all

May she rest in peace.

[Fresh_Start]

36. She is sorely missed

But even her wisdom didn't save the country because too many people make no effort to be responsible citizens.

[kdmorris]

37. Yeah, the treat politics like an American Football game n/t

[Enrique]

30. the "instant turnon" part is a giveaway

this is a pretty wacky post. :-)

[Cha]

29. Then what do you attribute

hillary's pandering to the corporations while bobbing and weaving to The People? What do you attribute hillary's enabling bushit all these years? Does the "beauty" secretly want want to be known as the War Horse, instead?

[Forkboy]

31. This is why I miss you being around.

You pull strings very well. ;)

[mtnsnake]

42. Hows it going, Forky

Hey, next time the Goddess of Peace takes center stage, stop and really listen to her voice. It's mesmorizing. There's a quality to it that resonates and hypnotizes. The lady could be the lead singer of 4 Non Blondes with a voice like that, maybe even the next Janis Joplin if she has time. From any research I've done, it's pretty rare to find someone with as rich a voice as Hillary, along with a brilliant mind and such a wholesome "girl next door" look. No wonder the country can't get enough of her. Ooooh la la.

:toast:

[Semper_FiFi]

41. Maybe it's a GAY thing...

but you lost me at "instant TURN-ON". I'm sure that some men, somewhere, find her "HOT", but (although I cannot put my finger on it) I find your post lacking in sincerity.

[calteacherguy]

44. The Republicans don't stand a chance against her. Not a CHANCE. This is herstory in the making. nt

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

45. I'll Gladly Take That Bet

I guarantee you the race will be a close one, although in the end, she'll win the Crown of this Monarchy.

Make no mistake though, it will be a close horserace, for the media to spend 10 months getting excited over. It will not be easy, and the margin of victory will be within 5 percentage points.

But that's exactly the way the Corporate WHORE Media wants it. More money for their coverage, than if it was a runaway.

[calteacherguy]

50. I think you'll be surprised. I think we will see a massive Democratic tidal wave. nt

[tinrobot]

46. This picture is really hot....

OK, I made that one up...

[babylonsister]

47. ...

:spank: :spank: :spank:

[Froward69]

48. Ohhh that sassy new haircut clearly makes

Her the best choice for president. :sarcasm: I could go on about her breasts and but. or the REAL reason behind Bills Need for a blowjob.... more :sarcasm: ahhh yesss her beauty as a qualification for Prez... oh please!

[elizm]

49. I saw her in person in May of this year...

:rofl: You're joking, right???

[gorekerrydreamticket]

53. Nominated for I.Q.-lowering thread of the day.....n/m

[durrrty libby]

74. Bitter pills make some choke. Enjoy

[RufusTFirefly]

51. Sorry, but for me, beauty depends more on your values than on your looks

Beautiful


Beautiful


Ugly


Even uglier

[The River]

52. Looks More Like

Evita Peron



They both traded on famous names too!

[LittleClarkie]

55. Not gonna do it for me.

I ain't voting for her because she's hot.

[eridani]

56. A good-looking pal of scumbags like Mark Penn and Rupert Murdoch

Thanks, but no thanks.

[PurityOfEssence]

58. Yeah, I'd say virtually all of it

She also gets some points for being feisty; that plays with lots of people.

If prettiness was what should be valued for a president we should have elected Quayle.

This is a ridiculous and facile thread, but it's true: she wins on those levels. She's very good looking and has a lot of charm.

I can't stand her policies, though, don't trust her to the door and resent the feeling of privilege. Enough of that, though; I've stated that plenty elsewhere and will continue to do so.

[UGADUer]

59. So then let's cast her in the next Hollywood movie, not the Presidency

Those things are irrelevant for the Presidency.

[superkia]

60. If she wasnt on the MSM now or back when Bill was in office...

where would she be? I don't care how someone looks, if you aren't part of the club, you are not going far.

[Colobo]

61. Hillary is sexy, intelligent and very tough. Still, I won't vote for her

in the primaries.

[illinoisprogressive]

62. You have an appointment for the eye doctor coming up for some new glasses

[mtnsnake]

64. Only if I can go to the same eye doctor as this chick

[ginchinchili]

63. You've been drinking too much Koolaid.

[durrrty libby]

71. And you need to stop bathing in it

[OneBlueSky]

66. there's no accounting for taste . . . n/t

.

[Perry Logan]

67. Only a misogynist could dislike Hillary.

[HughBeaumont]

68. Yeah, you know, because that's why I vote for someone.

Nevermind their . . . what's that thing called . . . STANCES on issues like free trade, Big-Insurance-controlled health care and Bewsh's wars. It's all about the LOOKS!

[mtnsnake]

69. Learn to read. I said it's PART of her success, not "ALL about the looks". Geesh.

There's no need for you to hold Hillary's beauty against her, Hugh. The lady too much class to let her beauty get in the way. yeah

[truebrit71]

72. .

:puke:

[zulchzulu]

73. Some people think Libby Dole is good looking too

I guess we should like her...

:crazy:


To be honest, I think you forgot to put the sarcasm smiley at the end of your post. Her voice has a "magical tone"?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

81. glad to see it's issue-based

god, i hope we can look forward to such a great example of democracy in action

[Imagevision]

85. Be prepared for the GOP to pull a lesbian swiftboatee act on Hillary
