Think about it. That is a damn handsome man. He also has a law degree, is a powerful, wealthy man and his opinions are respected by millions. You may not agree with his politics but I’m sure there are a million housewives who could care less about that. ---

Oh, and a link to Mr Santorum might be nice for those of us who tend to matters domestic on the other side of the globe…y’know, just so we can perve at what a hunk he is. Thanks. I wait breathlessly. 😃 ---

I wait breathlessly. 😃 FTR, and for those who don’t understand american politics (shame on you for not following our politics btw if you don’t. If I could find your countries on a map I’d draw X’s over them so I know never to travel there) Santorum is a christian conservative and most of this board leans toward secular liberalism. So I’m wondering if people here find him attractive despite the political differences. ---

Santorum really isn’t important enough that anyone ought to be berated for not having heard of him in other countries. And he looks like a dork to me, for the record. Politics don’t come into it. You’d have to pick a considerably hotter christian righter for me to take the question seriously. He looks like a high school prefect who never grew up. Where’s the manly stubble? ---

Nah, he looks like a nancy-boy to me. I wouldn’t fancy him, even though I’m a lefty-liberal/bordering on marxist **housewife**. On the other hand, there is a (recently retired) polly here in Australia from the opposite end of the political spectrum from my good self, John Anderson, and I’d do him as quick as you could say Welcome to the National Party. He was one good looker, whoah. Those eyes of his got me every time. Shame about his politics but. 😃 ---

Rick Santorum looks like that guy in high school who… well, you couldn’t put your finger on it. He didn’t have some awful skin disease. He wasn’t shunned as a nerd. He didn’t have horrible coke-bottle glasses, his mother didn’t cut his hair with an upturned bowl, you couldn’t smell his breath at twenty paces, he didn’t chew with his mouth open, and he didn’t snort when he laughed. And yet, and yet… _he couldn’t get a date to save his life._ Not unattractive, but not even in the same zip code as sexy. ---

He’s got that GI Joe/Ken doll removable-looking snap-on plastic Republican haircut. If it weren’t for that & the fact I actually know how he thinks on some levels, maybe. As it is now - no.

I live in Pennsylvania, so I’m familiar with what he looks like, especially since he’s running for reelection. Unfortunately, it takes a lot more than mere looks to make a person sexy for me, and hypocrisy is a guaranteed turn off. In other words, _Hell, no!_ If you’ll excuse me, I now have to go and spend sometime with someone who is genuinely sexy to get the image out of my brain. Could someone please pass the soap? :shudder: ---

> [@ParentalAdvisory](#): > > I dunno. I’m willing to bet that there are at least one million housewives that don’t care about any politics at all. Or has the term ‘housewives’ become derogatory somehow? Well, yes, housewife **is** a derogatory term, especially in the context used by the OP. :rolleyes: Y’see, one might be ‘technically’ a housewife, but also vitally interested in local and national political affairs. Since when does ones occupation automatically include a lack of political interest? Or does just being a bloke give you immediate political kudos? :rolleyes: ---

> [@kambuckta](#): > > Since when does ones occupation automatically include a lack of political interest? Well, okay, nobody said that at all. But I did say that I’d bet that atleast one million housewives don’t care about any politics at all. Considering that there are millions upon millions of housewives… this _could_ be true. :dubious: Now the OP’s statement could be more factual, even if it wasn’t meant to be. Is it not possible that a million housewives could find the senator attractive, and not care about his politics? I think so. That’s all that was said. ---

I realize that the attractivness of politicians is judged on a different scale than that of other celebrities, but even on the Beltway meter, the man is the anti-hot. He looks like a dweeb. The kind of dweeb who fucks you inexpertly, and maintains a running commentary of how great the sex is without noticing that you’re dying of boredom. ---

I just wanted to clarify something. Rick Santorum is a Catholic conservative, rather than a Protestant Fundamantalist one. Around here, Catholics are a much larger influence than Fundamentalists. For his political stands, I suggest you search the BBQ Pit. He’s featured there pretty regularly. I can provide a summary tomorrow morning if anyone’s interested. ---

Yeah, put me in the “eww” camp as well. Even putting aside his politics, he doesn’t do it for me. Including his politics, he couldn’t make me come with a Hitachi Magic Wand and a blindfold. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-do-you-find-rick-santorum-sexy/354825.md?page=2)
