The face of the GOP: old white men

[Skittles]

[Monkeyman]

1. Not A President in the bunch all look like suits from JC Penny's

[TwilightGardener]

2. All right, Romney looks sharp--no Penney's shopper, he.

[LibDemAlways]

24. He's sitting on 250 million. He can afford custom suits.

[TwilightGardener]

26. 250 million boggles the mind. Until you think about Bloomberg (billions!).

Will be fun to see if he runs as an Indy and the rich dudes outspend each other by amounts exceeding Finland's GDP.

3. The face of all entrenched power: old white men

[TwilightGardener]

4. Must suck to be a man: Charcoal gray suit, or charcoalier gray suit?

[TwilightGardener]

10. The Antiques Roadshow!

(saw that somewhere else, can't claim credit but thought it was an apt description).

[snowbear]

19. You're giving him too much credit..

Imagine running your hands through that oil slick.

And everytime he opens his mouth, another flip-flop falls out.

Sure. He's decent looking... I mean.. if a lady was to knock back a couple Jack Daniels... him..

But under the cameras tonight, his bulbuous nose was too shiney. Someone in his crew should've slapped some powder on it.



I'm just sayin'.... If we're going to vote on looks alone, Edwards edges oil slick out.

[TwilightGardener]

20. Obama and Edwards beat him like a rented mule in attractiveness,

that's for sure. Mittens is a classic example of someone I should find hot-n-sexy, but don't--pretty rare for a man to be handsome, and yet totally unsexy. One flash of Obama's smile puts Mitt's cheesy countenance to shame.

[rodeodance]

21. my nickname for Edwards is peachyface

[Dulcinea]

28. Mitt reminds me of a Ken doll.

Fake. Plastic. There's no there there.

[azurnoir]

5. Or as nixons head said

I remember my body; flabby, pastey-skinned, riddled with phlebitis. A good Republican body!

[Bitwit1234]

6. Heck, wait til Newt and Fred Thompson join the pack.

Talk about old white men.

[TwilightGardener]

8. LOL! Newtie will be talking rings around everyone and baffling

them with his bullshit, and Fred will wait for his close-up and put on his best "Pompous Southern Lawyer" demeanor and drawl some crowd-pleasin' down-home witticisms before getting to his point. Barf-O-Rama.

[Colobo]

7. Chris Wallace called them on that, can you believe it?

He asked Gilmore why there was no diversity on the Republican field.

[TwilightGardener]

9. And Gilmore said, "There IS diversity! We've got rich white lawyers,

rich white mayors, rich white Senators, rich white Governors..."

[Skittles]

12. easy to see why the GOP is so f***ing out of touch with America, no?

:puke:

[TlalocW]

11. Wow an equal amount of the participants

Wore red ties and non-red ties. Those non-red tie-wearing mavericks are shaking things up!

[calteacherguy]

13. The contrast with our field of candidates is incredible.

Says a lot.

[scrinmaster]

27. All our candidates are white men, except for Hillary and Obama.

[provis99]

14. very diverse!

they range from pasty white to ivory in complexion, all the colors of bland dough are represented!

[AtomicKitten]

15. or ...

[Bullet1987]

16. I agree...

But let's be fair, minorities are much more active in the Dem party than Republican. The majority of African-Americans are Democrats, I think there is just this perception that the Dems are the party of the Minority. You've had a minority run is just about every Presidential election since the '80's I think. But, let's be fair, how can you blame Republicans if the minorities in their party decide not to run? No one is out forcing anyone not to run and forcing others to run. They make their own decisions. So I think it's kinda unfair to make it seem like the Republicans are being racist, or that some plant Republican should be brought in just to be PC.

[Skittles]

17. yeah

sure, they're not racist - not at all :o

[avrdream]

22. Aw, quit being reasonable.

It's much more fun to tease! }(

Really, though, I was thinking about the same thing when I saw the debate picture tonight: our party is SO much more interesting and diverse, even our very own old white guys.

[allalone]

18. you forgot the RICH old white men

[Iris]

23. Yep. And all but one think they know what a woman should do with her own body.

Nice.

[DuaneBidoux]

25. Just More of the Same.

[Bronyraurus]

29. So what?
