Dean / Kerry
Is it only me or does anyone else feel that Kerry does not have the presidential look?

I'm not trying to offend anyone nor to offend Kerry, but to me he looks almost retarted. I know this is because of his facial feature and I'm sure the man is smart and a good politician, but I can't get myself to look at him and trust him or believe he is the right one.

Dean on the other hand has a more sofisticated look and seems to blend well with people from all walks of life.

Again, it may just be me that is stupid and silly and I apologise if I have offended anyone, it was not my intention.

2. Kerry looks very Presidential and acts the way I want a President to be
Dean sometimes acts and looks like the guy at the bar who gets upset because his team just gave up a kickoff return for a touchdown.

3. Oh, puhleeze.
Edited on Wed Jul-30-03 08:18 PM by blondeatlast
Can't anyone, anytime, ever, even when I am not looking, post something, ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE about ANY candidate?

Some examples:
health care
budget concerns
foreign policy
educations
fixing the mess in Iraq

Sorry for the rant. I know:

Lighten up, blondie.

4. I disagree, but I don't take your comments in a bad way
I know Kerry has a really long chin. He is too tall and skinny for my personal taste.

But he is a very elegant man. He will tower over many people, including Dean. Dean will not look so great standing next to many other world leaders b/c he is short. Kerry is 6'4". And in many ways more sophisticated than Dean.

I didn't take your comments in a bad way, so please don't take mine that way.

7. Well, since we are in the lounge...
Dean looks like a creepy little red-raced gnome. No offense intended.

11. ROFLMOA! Thank you.
Kerry looks like the "Queer Eye" version of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Again, no offens (I'm leaning toward Kerry as it is).

17. thank you!
A lot of the Dean people here are very defensive, and I know it's just b/c the Kerry people (and others) have been attacking them. So, thank you (even though it's Kerry, and not me, who looks presidential...)

10. Thank you all..
Thanks for your comments...

This was not meant as political view of Kerry nor Dean, but more from a... hmmm how do I put this... different point of view.

I thought about whether to post this or not since I was in the line of offending people and that was not my intention.

This is, of course, just my personal view. I just can't get a handle on Kerry's looks and I smack my head with a 1300 page hardcover book for that, but it's just the way I view it. Sorry people if you took it the wrong way.

15. I'm sorry I didn't realize we were in the Lounge. I posted from
"Latest" and didn't realize my mistake until it was gently called to my attention.

No harm, no foul, OK?

14. Dean's impish grin makes him look childlike
Kerry is the alpha male of the candidates.

18. talk about flamebait
Actually Kerry looks very much like the Founding Fathers. Put his face up to any of those guys or Andrew Jackson and he'd have fit right in. Kerry looks very Presidential.

However, I support Dean because he has been taking more political risks than Kerry. Kerry is a great guy and is tied for #2 in my book with Edwards. Dean just seems to have a certain spark that I like.

I can't wait until our primary is over and the candidate we pick gets us all on the same page to show that George W. Bush is wrecking America and only he/she can fix it! Ain't that going to be awesome? One year from now, every post is going to be about what an idiot and fool Bush is, rather than slamming each others' candidate. I can't wait!

21. I guess you didn't see my thread
about how Dean is currently occupying some of my more racey fantasies.

Definitely not a spot Kerry will ever be in.

Admittedly, Dean does have a bit of the bar brawler in him but I love that in a man!
