Sorry, but Mark Warner has always reminded me of....

[HardWorkingDem]

an adult movie actor. I'm having a hard time warming up to him.

[Wetzelbill]

1. Mark Does Washington? nt

[incapsulated]

2. Ok, I'm not touching this one.

Even though I strangely understand what you mean...

help.

[emulatorloo]

3. 70's, 80's or 90's era? EOM

[LittleClarkie]

20. Bow-chicka Bow Bow

I'd want the 70s if it were me.

[skipos]

4. No joke, for some reason I thought you were going to say

"Sorry, but Mark Warner has always reminded me of...
a Democrat who could actually be elected."

I was just talking to a Dem friend who always seems to be attracted to the most unelectable Dems out there. Sometimes I wonder if it so he can always say "hey, don't blame me, (name of elected Dem) wasn't my choice to be President/Governor/Senator/Mayor/etc."

[peacebird]

5. as a Virginian the best thing I can say for Mark Warner is he would be an

improvement over John Warner, George Allen or Tom Davis in congress.... other than that he is far too lightweight and easily swayed to be president. Whoever comes after bush will have too much to straighten out, too much to fix.... I don't see Mark Warner as strong enough, serious enough or capable enough. I just don't. Surely we have someone better to put forth?

Oh - and he always reminded me of a walking "Ken" doll... and just about as "masculine" - NOT!

[Adelante]

10. Easily swayed

That's interesting. I don't know much about him, except he obviously was a popular governor, and I hadn't heard "easily swayed" before.

[SaveElmer]

47. How is he easily swayed?`

He got a tax increase through a Republican legislature in a Republican state and is possibly the most popular governor here since the Civil War.

6. I COULD answer your comment, BUT I'm AFRAID that it WOULD result

In your thread getting locked...oh there's SO much in those two sentences that I could work on with those double entendres.


:evilgrin: :spank:

[HardWorkingDem]

8. Oh, gosh......just caught on....

Hones, the words used were simply by coincidence...didn't even think of it when I typed them....

[...of J.Temperance]

9. The lack of INSTANTLY dirty minds in this Politics Forum is

ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING!!

I've got several spare Double Entendre Antenna's that I'd be happy to share around :)

[nickshepDEM]

7. Hmm, I dont see it. He lacks the porno mustache.

[Tom Rinaldo]

19. Perfect reply, lol. How Warner looks doesn't make my top 10 concerns

A dynamic speaker transcends appearances anyway, and I refuse to start judging my Presidential and VP candidates by this yardstick. It is obviously not a concern to the folks in Virginia, and if Warner secretly picks up the Porn vote without having to ask for it, it could make the difference if the erection is close.

[Jai4WKC08]

23. Tom! I'm shocked!

Please tell me that's a typo.
:rofl:

[Tom Rinaldo]

24. Since it isn't too late to edit yet I guess I have to say

I'm not sure what you're talking about Jai, lol.

[Pithy Cherub]

28. ROFLMAO!

That is one hell of a freudian slip down the slope! :rofl:

[Tom Rinaldo]

30. Don't blame Frued. It was too hard to resist. n/t

[Pithy Cherub]

31. Oh Gawd! I...can't...breathe....

Your accidental on purpose double entendres are hilarious...:rofl:

[BigYawn]

40. I am having a hard time understanding the double entendres!!!

[the_spectator]

11. It's about time someone addressed Warner's facial problem.

He has a really weird face. He can never be elected with that face.
How can I put this? Let's try this way. Imagine Warner was an up-and-coming Republican rather than a Democrat. With that face of his, what would a lot of us on DU be saying right now? Hmmm??
I tend not to like that kind of can we say, pink-baiting, and I'm certain that Warner is happily married and a 100% red-blooded American. But this is about physiognomy, not personality.

The man suffers from a severe case of gayface. Please don't shoot the messenger! :hide:

[Catherine Vincent]

12. gayface?

Just because he's kinda cute? Not necessarily....there are a lot of straights that are cute.

[the_spectator]

13. No, I'm not saying he's got gayface because he's semi-attractive -

I guess there's just something about his face, especially the lower half of it. He certainly doesn't have a weak jaw, but he does look rather slack-jawed and his mouth is too sloppy-looking. Maybe it's "yokel-face" really, and I really DON'T think that Warner is gay, but here in NY, I don't see too many yokels, and that face of his just strikes me as gay-looking. I'm sorry to be a pundit of the superficial (again) when it comes to presidential candidates, but this stuff matters!

[AmericanDream]

27. He's cute? I must be looking at a different warner... diff. tastes I guess

[onenote]

14. gayface? You're kidding right?

Sheesh. He can't be elected? Well, the folks in Virginia elected him. And they would've gladly given him a second term had the state allowed it.

onenote

[Kahuna]

16. The dumbest thing I've heard all day. The kind of face he has is..

open and honest.

[HardWorkingDem]

35. Sorry to point this out, but....

sadly in this day and age, looks and tv warmth seem to matter much more than substance and sincerity........

[formernaderite]

18. Hmmmm...might explain why my brother finds him very attractive...

that and apparently his "full" lips.

[onenote]

15. you know the fact that Warner reminds you of a porn star

probably says more about you than it does about him

:crazy:

onenote

[HardWorkingDem]

17. No, what I'm looking for....

is for someone to build his case for me. As a potential presidential candidate he just doesn't capture my interest.

[FrenchieCat]

21. I'm sorry too....

he reminds me of a doofus....

Sorry, but he just does.

Maybe if I see him again, he won't.

[Independent_Liberal]

22. Now that you mention it...

...he does sorta look like he could be a porn star.

:)

[Catherine Vincent]

26. Warner has the porn star look?

Any pics? Does he look something like the governor of Texas?

[snowbear]

32. Porn star?

No way baby!

~~~~~~~~ :P

[Catherine Vincent]

33. Thanks for the pic.

I guess he looks alright. Sorta looks like Joe Piscapo.

[Independent_Liberal]

39. Actually, I was just joking when I said that.

:)

[Awsi Dooger]

25. So to summarize....

DU considers Mark Warner to be an easily swayed lightweight slack-jawed gayface doofus who probably sidelights as an adult movie actor. And probably no good at that, either.

He's still my top choice for our nomination, so I guess I'm fairly forgiving.

[Tom Rinaldo]

29. You may think you're a forgiving soul...

...but that's nothing compared to what a Bush supporter has to live with.

Thanks for a nice post, made in the spirit of good fun. Not enough of those around here sometimes.

[Awsi Dooger]

34. Very true

I didn't think of that. Gruesome to even imagine where that Bush summation would meander.

That's why I flop between the Lounge and the hard core forums, so the spirit of good fun at least threatens to make the transfer with me once in a while.

Someone else can update my Warner summary, BTW. This thread is relatively young and I'm confident more apropos terms to follow.

[Kahuna]

37. LOL! That's nothing compared to the crap that used to fly about Clark.

41. Disappointing reply...

For one thing, this reply is rude. You don't know me well enough to claim how shallow I might or might not be.

As for one's looks in the political arena, sadly, this stuff does matter. Certainly it shouldn't matter if one's impression of one is that of an adult movie actor, but the visceral impact a potential presidential candidate has on Americans does matter. If you doubt this, then all I ask is to look back at the last two campaigns.

What things were said about Bush in contrast to Kerry? Remember them? How Bush was seen as a person one would like to have a beer with and how Kerry would be the type of person who would drive by someone with a flat tire. Remember these? Or how about the image of Kerry windsurfing.

Now, I certainly do not believe the bad about Kerry at all, but I am a strong Democrat and my vote is not one the Dems need to work very hard for.

But we do need to worry about the impressions our Dems do have on other potential Dem voters.

[Bunny]

43. Your OP is rude.

There is absolutely nothing wrong or even unusual about how the candidate looks, I can't even begin to imagine what your point is in creating this thread. I think it's insufferable that you come into GDP and demand that others satisfy your need to be persuaded about someone's worth, simply because you don't like how they look. Sorry, I call it like I see it.

[HardWorkingDem]

46. Where did I "demand"....

I never demanded others satisfied my need to be persuaded, I did request that someone offer things that make Warner an attractive candidate, but I never demanded.

Face it, personal appearances do matter in American politics and to me, Warner comes off as a sneaky, snake oil salesman, but as I said, I am open to be persuaded. But my further point is, if a loyal Democrat is turned off by a candidate, what does it say about what potential voters will feel come around Nov?

And people could go to a candidate's website and look at the political BS posted by a candidate, but I would like to know of things people actually like about this guy, rather than just looking at him and seeing a pretty face and hearing cheap music playing in the background.

[JNelson6563]

44. Welcome to the New DU

Where shallowness is encouraged. :toast:

[gardenista]

38. What the * is that supposed to mean? and why does it matter?

So next the rumors will fly that warner made porn films, is that what we're getting to?

This is nonsense.

[HardWorkingDem]

42. Guess I should have been more clear...

when I see or hear Warner, I get this oily-salesman like feeling and see him as a shifty sort of person. I am certainly open to learning about him but just don't get the presidential feeling that so many others seem to be getting towards him.

[0007]

45. 0h Hum!....

[jenndar]

48. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Er, I mean, no comment.
