1. That's the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life. |
|
And that says a lot since I primarily swing the other way! Do we have a fainting smilie?
That picture ought to come with a disclaimer...
Caution: Severe hotness ahead.

3. True beauty is from within. And their beauty hasn't faded with age. |
|
However, that being said, they are really really good looking!

10. I have some glasses you can borrow :-) |

Edwards was very handsome, and still quite "easy on the eyes" today. I agree about Elizabeth.

30. Have you fed your seeing eye dog today--that guy is hot! |
|
I'm not that much of an Edwards fan and I think his boyish good looks are a little too boyish for a man in his fifties but hot damn--as a student back in the 70s--he was smoldering!
And so, by the was was Elizabeth.

11. Is it wrong to crush on politicians? |
|
I feel so shallow... :blush: :blush:
At least our candidates are good-looking - I'm almost frightened by some of the Republican contenders.

15. If it's based on looks, yes |
|
It's part and parcel of the tendency in our culture to elevate the status (and income) of those who meet our western (often aryan and patriarchal) views of idealised beauty.
Especially when we start talking about being "frightened" by candidates who don't meet an artificial socially constructed standard of beauty.
The concern is not whether you (or other posters here) are shallow or not. The concern is that you're promoting a value system that is alienating, supremacist, and damaging to society as a whole.
These words aren't specifically directed at you, they aren't meant as a personal attack - I recognize this is a very common thing, on DU and elsewhere, to promote candidates or be attracted to candidates based on looks. You just happened to be the person who phrased your response in the form of a question. (probably a rhetorical one, but hey, a question is a question, and thus invites answers.)

But someone else posted a real pretty picture of Bill and Hil earlier today. Has DU turned into People Magazine online??? What is all this obsession with pretty candidates and gushing over pictures? I just don't get it. I don't care if a politician looks ugly; it's his or her words that count. Makes me a little sad that so many here seem to be swayed by a pretty face. I thought we were the party of ideas, and that we strive to look behind the surface. This thread sounds like teenagers discussing a boy-band.
