Can you tell a Democrat from a Republican guest speaker on TV with the sound muted?

[Towlie]

I'm not sure exactly how, but I can. It's spooky.

[spanone]

1. they're the least happy looking of the bunch.....really

[rug]

2. It's their haircuts.

[depakid]

6. They often have "fundy eyes" as well

It's a strange sort of a glassy stare, sometimes looks like they're on drugs.

[rug]

8. Or booze.

3. They usually look angry and rarely smile, nt

[left coaster]

7. yes, they either look angry..

..or they have the smug look of entitlement on their faces..

[lisa58]

4. I can....

....especially if they have AEI or The Heritage Foundation plastered all over the wall behind them.

[Forkboy]

5. The obligatory empty gesture flag pin often gives them away.

9. Well, their horns are usually a dead giveaway n/t

[AlinPA]

10. Their mouth looks like an inverted U. Always.

[EC]

11. Yeah,

repuges pretty much have that same hair style- the deep side part and greasy...they also talk continually without listening, so if the mouth is moving all the time it's a repuge...they also have small predator eyes...

12. Some are saying the Repubs aren't smiling, but

I see it the opposite.

If I see a guy with meticulously groomed hair/beard/eyebrows and he's smiling one of those smug-ass smirks, he's a Republican.

Women...usually a string of pearls, but sometimes not. Same over-groomed appearance, and same smug little smirk, no matter what the subject matter is.


I think Democrats tend to be a little more casual. Not like they're dressed to attend the next Megachurch service. And they're not doing that stupid fucking grinning the whole time. When they do smile it looks genuine....reaches the eyes, not just a fake "I'm gonna sit here and smirk to piss you all off" thing.


that's how I see it, anyway

:shrug:

[AlinPA]

14. That slimeball from Virginia Eric Cantor always has that dirty smile-smirk. nt

[lindisfarne]

13. Yes. I just read the captions I get when the sound is muted. n/t

[Riley18]

15. Yes, can't explain it except that it's something about their eyes...no soul:)

[IDemo]

16. The sneer and the pompadour haircut are dead giveaways

[Maru Kitteh]

17. Mr. Bottomtooth from Family Guy.

There's some truth to it. In my observation, a disproportionate number of republicans display their lower teeth predominately.

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. they always look over animated

and angry

[G_j]

19. think of the nasty neighbor, when you were a kid..

the mean teacher, the abusive father...

[gimama]

20. yep..they're puckered up on both ends

You can tell in REAL life, too, even when they're muted.

[busybl]

21. the helmet hair

gives them away.
