Why are Americans so superficial about judging women who have proven they are beyond that role in li

Most women are not beautiful to look at especially at 60 years old. Is that a requirement for a woman becoming president or is that just an excuse for people who do not accept that any women can become president? Do we only judge a woman in the public eye by her clothing and hair style? Is that why Hillary is wearing pant suits and keeping her hair plain so she doesn't wind up in Glamour Magazine instead of Time?

There are no problems with Hillary's looks. She looks and acts professional and that's what matters. Of course she is going to look different than the other candidates. I mean, what would people say if she came out there in a man's suit? Wearing a woman's suit is really the only wardrobe option for her. If you want to see plain, look at her hair when she was at Yale with Bill! She wasn't going for the beauty queen look at all.

P. S. I think it's wrong to judge Hillary for staying in her marriage after her husband's infidelity.

I don't see why people call Hillary ugly. I mean, she's prettier than Fred Thompson.

I dont judge Hillary because of her looks or what she wears. I would love to have a woman president if I felt she was the right one for the job. I dont like Hillary because I disagree with her on most every issue and I think she will only make this country worse.

I judge Hillary on what she says and does. And I like not what I see.

She's just ugly on the inside...which may have a reflection on the outside?

She looks very dignified and affiable.

Everyone is judged by their appearance. Lawyers wear suits, doctors wear white jackets and scrubs. It sets a tone, Hillary's conservative look is on par with the rest of serious politicians.

People pick on her for an array of reasons. Instead if disagreeing on her issues, they find it 'cute' to pick on her appearance.

That is your personal opinion. I don't like Hillary but I respect all people regardless of age.

Well on the new obama ad we can text in early votes, might as well do a dance off w/ the candidates. Maybe more people would pay attention then.

I'm a conservative, and I dislike Hillary a lot, but I don't think she's not attractive. She's no spring chicken, but like you said at 60 years you can't expect that. She's aged well, she's certainly a lot better looking than the other women her husband gets around with.

I don't judge Clinton by her looks. Sure she is a hag but that isn't why I would never vote for her and will support whoever she runs against. She is dishonest. Just watch her speak and you know she is lying through her teeth. She has her own interests above America and Americans and even her husband. She has been using him and riding his coattail since she met him. She changes her story daily and that little crying scene was just too much to handle without puking. No matter how bad she looks it isn't the reason I think she is the worst possible choice for president.

i dont think she will win or lose the presidentcy based on her looks. i wont vote for her because i dont believe with her financial views. but mostly i wont vote for her because she didnt have enough respect for herself to leave bill when he cheated on her, instead she saw it as an opportunity because she wanted even then to be president. if she doesnt respect herself how could the rest of the world? i vote based on character and viewpoints.

Hillary's problem is not her sex, age or looks.

It is her stand on issues.

I have a whole list of problems with Hillary and those 3 don't even crack the top 100.

She's 60... Who cares what she looks like as long as it looks professional.

I personally judge her on her past history and qualifications. Both of which she clearly has problems with. Her past history is filled with a clear pattern of ethical dilemmas, moral misgivings, and legal trouble. She was a First Lady. Why does that qualify her for the position. We did not elect her into that position, she came along for the ride. What she wears, says, and does, is chosen or guided by what focus groups and advisers think will gain the most positive influence. Shedding a tear, or giving the impression of it will also gain influence, or persuade those on the edge.

Sorry, but to me character, integrity, and experience are what I base my judgment upon. The only thing she seems to want to pound over our heads is her experience... Why? Is this in question? Clearly, or she would not have to defend against it.

I don't care one way or the other. I don't mind an ugly woman as president. I just mind the current contender.

BTW she gets points with this right wing whack job for staying in her marriage. While it is really non of my business and even the most conservative religious leaders would not blame her for divorcing Bill I admire her for honoring her wedding vows.

Her political background consists of riding on her husbands bandwagon and murdering all their opponents. How does this make her presidential?

It doesn't really matter what her skills (or lack thereof) are. The simple fact she is a woman precludes her from the job. The majority of the world's leaders are not only men, but men who's belief system places women on the same level as their dogs- a possession. How do we expect her to do a job when no other leaders will respect her.

the fact your talking about whether she is beautiful. well there is the problem right there.

i don't choose Hillary fro reasons of substance.

i choose Obama fro reasons of substance.

but look on both sides who does well.. you must look at min a certain way to get you in the top 3 or 4.

and Richardson and Kucinich ,good men, didn't have a prayer fro the same reasons .

Reagan was the movie star president he bankrupted the country screwed the seniors and they voted for more. we have the governator in ca.

americans are very. very superficial. ask anyone else in the world.

I ,for one, don't judge Hillary for her looks. Just cannot agree with her policy, She could look like Marlyn Monroe, But her politics would be the same. and I thought that's what it was all about in an election.

Why are Americans so superficial about judging women who have proven they are beyond that role in life?

I have never voted on a candidate because of sex, race or age. I vote on what they have done as leaders. Hillary does not have enough time as any kind of political leader to even attempt at running for President. Being First Lady does not even come close in being a leader, it meant her husband was. As for voting for candidates because of looks, there are examples of Americans doing this a couple of times (Kennedy %26amp; Clinton) and they also voted on some not so nice looking people (Nixon %26amp; Johnson).

What really counts is what have they done and what can they do for the US.

Appearances and perception are everything - thanks to the likes of the mag you refer to and others, as well as the whole entertainment industry. Sad, but true.
