I know its rude, but I have to ask

[dianaredwing]

why are all the repugs so ugly? I mean, you'd think a photographer would at least once in a while catch one of them with a pleasant expression, but no???? Its like they never listened to their mama when she said, 'don't be making faces like that or your face will freeze and you'll look that way forever.'

[Atticus]

1. Yup! Most look like they just found a dead mouse in their Bosco. nt

[MuseRider]

11. I'm not certain

that would be a bad thing for some of them.

[Siwsan]

2. Corruption and mendacity radiating from deep within

The ugliness of those characteristics can't be contained.

[SharonClark]

3. They say the same stupid thing about Dems,

especially feminist women.

[dianaredwing]

5. never thought I was the most attractive in the bunch

but aside from my brother you're the first one who ever called me stupid.

[Hekate]

14. No one here "called you stupid"

Alas, you did repeat the constant meme of GOP males in the media, to wit: all Feminist/ Democratic women are ugly.

[GoodRaisin]

4. Because they are so evil.

Evil is never pretty and evil is all they pursue.

[Hotler]

6. When your heart is ugly on the inside, it shows on the outside. nt

7. Well, dirty secret:

One of the ways partisanship rears its ugly head is that publications will deliberately capture the least flattering pic they can to use in stories. This is true of both sides.

[iemanja]

8. I've wondered that too

[Cuthbert Allgood]

9. Ugh. Can we not.

I mean, seriously, first of all, let's stop with being "good looking" as some kind of virtue. Second, all republicans are not ugly. Third, this reads like every republican family member I have on Facebook who spreads the Clinton/Pelosi/Obama are all ugly women nonsense.

Just stop.

[dianaredwing]

12. My goodness we're touchy

I was referring to the fact that they seem to 'pose' themselves as ugly and frightening rather than normal, or heaven help us, sympathetic human beings.

[Hekate]

15. Uh-huh

[Treefrog]

16. Thank you. I don't see the point of ops like this actually.

Looks are really not important to me. I don’t think we’re any better looking than they are, but it really matters not a bit. President Biden could look like Frankenstein and I wouldn’t care. We’re in good hands.

[pandr32]

10. That's what happened!

Their faces froze.

[MiHale]

13. Evil erupts like festering sores...

and evil is more than ugly.

[ironflange]

17. Moscow Mitch does smile once in a while

But that just makes things worse.

[XanaDUer2]

19. I know he looks like a deathshead

[WhiskeyGrinder]

18. You can do better than this.

[Silent3]

20. "Politics is Hollywood for the ugly"

Looks shouldn't matter in politics anyway, but even so, they probably matter more than they should.

I'd guess, on average, that compared to a random assortment of American politicians of either party would ranking higher in average attractiveness than a random selection of non-Hollywood star Americans in a similar age range.
