Housewife here. I grew more interested in world events and politics than ever when I became a stay-at-home-mom. You can only watch so much regular daytime TV before you want to hurl your set off a cliff. So, I started reading the news on the internet, and hanging out at great sites like this one. I hardly ever post here, but I am intensely interested in politics, and I have a fair idea of what is going on in the world most of the time. I seek out threads here on political issues all the time.
I am a centrist with libertarian leanings.
That said, Santorum is so very unsexy to me that I can easily imagine that I would be repulsed by him even if I were blind. I can picture him giving off an artificial scent, not unlike the first whiff of a newly-opened Mattel toy, straight from the factory-sealed box. He looks kind of, I dunno…“clammy” to me. Defininitely not hot.
So the anwer is no, NO–a thousand times no. Bleargh!
He is Ken made alive by some Dr Frankenstein. The people who would find him attractive are the same people who like sanitary sex or shallow socializing, IMO. Also, I doubt they’re great when it comes to critical thinking.
He’s tall (I think) and not obese.
Not enough, by a long shot, to make the grade.
Two thumbs down from me.
Now, Barak Obama…there’s someone I could get interested in.
Henry Kissinger? Blech! That’d be like having Ronald Reagan go down-never mind. I need to go throw up now.
Everyone’s been saying that, and I see it too - but I have no idea where it comes from. I’m not sure what it is about Santorum’s face that’s so creepy, but it really is. There’s no single feature I can find that’s particularly unattractive - his face is just sort of blandly average looking, really, but there’s something about it that grosses me out. And I don’t particularly feel that way about most of his fellow Republican senators, so I don’t think it’s just his politics. There’s something upsetting about his face. It’s just wrong, somehow.
I don’t know a single thing about his politics - politics not being a major interest of mine.
I can tell you this though. After looking at some pictures of him, I’m forced to comment “If I wanted to fuck something plastic, I’d buy a dildo. At least the dildo you can put away in a drawer by your bedside when you’re done with it. Plus, generally dildos are quiet when not in use - which is more than can be said of politicians.”
That man looks eerily like a Ken doll. It makes me wonder if he’s just as anatomically correct. I find, however, that I am not curious enough about that point to risk being naked within the same city limits as him.
There were people back in Bush I’s time who thought Dan Quayle was cute and sexy. Some actually thought Bush I picked him for VP on the hope he’d bring in women voters.
I thought those people were extremely strange. But people who entertain the possibility that Rick Santorum is sexy are stranger yet.
True, by Washington standards both men may be pretty attractive; there are some freakish specimens in politics to be sure. (Who was it who said “Politics is show business for ugly people”?) But as its inhabitants can’t be reminded too often, Washington ain’t the real world.
Anyway, Santorum will always be “Little Ricky” to me. Steve Lopez hung the nickname on him when Santorum first ran for office and Lopez was still writing for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
OK - I’ve seen a few posts throughout the internet from people who think he is sexy. Even though he comes across as plain, there’s something about him that’s a turnon. Especially an online photo of the back of his tan pants when he is on a stage - you’ll want to know what’s under there. If you want the URL for this photo, just let me know!
Even if I didn’t know who he was or find his views particularly repulsive, I would say that he would rate about a 7 on the friendly, decent-looking scale. But he is in no way “damn handsome.”
