And now for an utterly silly take on an utterly serious topic.
Of the two candidates currently on the ballot for President of the United States, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, whom would you rather date? Neither? Okay, I can understand that. Still, let's think for a minute. If you subtracted forty years off of Romney and caught a glimpse of his fine self back in nineteen seventy-something, what would he look like?
Dang, right? If that fresh, floppy-haired fellow ever asked me out to dinner I wouldn't care less about his worryingly contradictory tax plan. Just shaddap and kiss me you gorgeous, young Republican!
Unfortunately I can't subtract forty years off President Obama's age because if I did I'd get this:
Nah. Let's add fifteen years to that cute little guy.
WOW!
Okay, I've just officially forgiven you for that last debate performance. Any time you want to step out for a drink, just text me or tweet me or call me or whatever the heck they did back in the early eighties. Did they even have phones back then?
So what do you think? Which younger version of these candidates would you rather date?

Obama!
Neither. Both unattractive to me and I dislike their political views.
Obama! I'd never date a republican, not in a million years also Obama is still kind'a hawt :P and the other one looks like any other white guy looks to me.
Obama. no conservatives are allowed anywhere near my vagina.
Obama. I wouldn't date a conservative.
If I absolutely had to choose then it would be Romney, but neither one is very attractive to me haha. I'm surprised at the people saying they wouldn't date a conservative. I've never even really asked a guy what their political affiliation is, and I don't really care. My parents have opposite views and they're fine, so I guess I never found it as something that matters. If I brought home a democrat though my dad would probably kill him so that solves that problem :)
Ron Paul.
I'd say Biden, but I've never had a black man. Obama. Liberals are better in bed anyway. Too much of that pent up sexual frustration on that conservative side. Maybe it's all that porn they buy...
@sunflowersforlove@xanga - it matters because conservatives (on a social level) go against pretty much everything I stand for. I couldn't date someone who supported Romney because he's so...against everything I want for myself. He's anti-birth control, he doesn't support women's rights and he's against gay marriage (I'm bisexual) and if someone supported that, I couldn't even CONSIDER dating them. They're basically supporting someone who want so restrict me and my life, and I'm just not okay with that.
@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - I guess it's because I'm really mixed on my views politically. I'm definitely socially liberal and can't stand people trying to interfere with birth control, marriage, etc, but fiscally I want people to keep their hands off my money especially when I'm behind someone in line at the store who is buying cigarettes and alcohol with an ebt card -.-
Based on looks - I'd choose Romney. Can't deny he was quite good-looking but I think Obama has a softer heart.
They're both married men...
In an alternative universe, and going off looks alone: Mitt.
Obama. Black men are hotter. I loves me some dark chocolate. c:
mitt looks like ralph fiennes, who played lord voldemort in harry potter. noseless serpent hottie
with the costume makeup, voldemort looks nothing like ralph, and mitt looks nothing like voldemort. on that note, I choose voldemort, because humans look kinda boring compared and I like to spice things up
*facepalm*
@mcmeister89@mancouch - Yeah, or they take away your abortion rights and then make you get an abortion anyway.
neither, though both are quite debatable.
As most of my views, I would like to quote the lovely Samantha:
"The country runs better with a good looking man in the White House. I
mean, look what happened with Nixon; no one wanted to fuck him, so he
fucked everyone."

I don't see how people find Romney physically attractive, at any age.
I think Obama is sexy at any age (eem that smile) :).
@sunflowersforlove@xanga - haha I'm the same way, but while I could date someone I disagree with in terms of economics, I couldn't date someone who directly wanted to interfere with my marriage/birth control/rights as a woman etc.
If people are dissing one of the guy's because of their political views, I find them all to be the same. They're all massive liars and manipulators, even the democrats/liberals. I hate when people act like their view is better than the other. How's America doing under the democratic view? Broke as ever, not much different than the Bush. I don't wanna hear who started it. A true man takes responsibilities and tries to fix the problems instead of finding someone to blame when things go wrong.
Personally I wouldn't date an extremely religious nor extremely political person. So neither.
@xinq@xanga - Yeah, I know, you're right. I hate both the candidates. I also hate working in an ER twelve hours a week to get a paycheck. I hate that my kid has tantrums sometimes. I hate it when it's too hot out to go to the beach on the weekends and gorgeous when I have to work. I hate it that both my parents sometimes have money problems and my husband needs meds. I hate that I'm thirty pounds overweight and can never find clothes that look awesome.
But you know what? THAT'S LIFE! That's how things work. Things don't always work the way they're supposed to but that's why we vote, work and make sure that each generation has a slightly brighter future than the last. One of the biggest ways we do that is that we VOTE!
So basically, quit bitchin' that there's no magical candy-covered candidate whose views are EXACTLY your own and whose magic wand would make all your troubles disappear. Get off your butt, log out of this message board and go vote. Work the phone banks and make sure that your views are heard. Don't whine about how everything sucks and somebody else should do something about it because you just don't have the energy to vote, just the energy to whine. Vote.
I would date Ron Paul. He put up the sweetest facebook message about his wife on their anniversary... like, their 54th or 55th anniversary.
I would never in a million years date Obama, communists are so unsexy. I might have dated Romney when I was younger.
