Hillary Clinton. Barbara Mikulski. Dianne Feinstein. Nancy Pelosi. Samantha Power. Janet Reno. Donna Shalala**. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Barbara Boxer. What do all of these women have in common? They are Democrats. And they are butt ugly. Mere statistics alone would suggest if you got a dozen or so Democrat women politicians together there would be some glimmer of attractiveness, no matter how dim, somewhere. But you would be wrong. However, now, thanks to SCIENCE, we know why: Research has found that being attractive influences many things in a person’s life — their salary, their popularity and grades in school, even the prison sentences they receive. So why not their politics?
A recently published study in the Journal of Public Economics concludes that the attractiveness of a candidate does correlate with their politics. They find that politicians on the right are more good looking in Europe, the United States and Australia.
The study shows correlation, not causation, but the researchers float a simple economic explanation for why this might happen. Numerous studies have shown that good-looking people are likely to earn more, and that people who earn more are typically more opposed to redistributive policies, like the progressive taxes and welfare programs favored by the left.

“Yes, another example: Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib”
Big Mike is also missing from the list.
I actually talked to Rosa on the phone one day many years ago.
I had a temp job in CT that had me answering phones—long story.
She called the number and started yelling at me—loud, hysterical, demented—I couldn’t get a word in—she called me every name in the book even though of course I had nothing to do with the issue that she was yelling about...
The woman is bat%$#@ crazy!
Great comments.
Paper bag? Special skills? Great personality? We might need pictures from before for the final proof, but I’m not looking.
I’m not motivated to do the research.
Nor am I.
But. Have you seen them without their makeup?
Any wonder why the old bag doesn't retire, we treat these idiots like Kings and Queens with armed guards. And this is IN the capital.
So, did you ever find out who she thought you were. Or were you answering the phone for a company she had issues with?
Actually I was hoping for a story of sanity. I guess you can tell by looking that isn’t going to happen.
Yahhhh! Scary!
She thought her issues were with the company.
Of course she was wrong—but I never had the chance to explain to her why she was wrong.
You can’t reason with crazy.
(Eventually I was able to pass the phone on to someone with “authority”, but all they got was more of the same insane rant.)
Evil is always ugly
Some of the leaders are not but ugly but they rank and file AR
Yes, I remember Rush saying that.
So, I’ll ask a serious question: what are less-than-attractive women to do? If they’re not to be allowed ‘access to the mainstream’, are they to hide in a room somewhere? Or, are they better off and, as E. Scrooge put it, “die and decrease thew surplus population”?
Not everyone CAN be born attractive. Those who are not, what are they supposed to do? Anyone have an answer to that?
Prager may not know it but that idea first appeared in Joseph Schumpeter’s 1942 “Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy”, which is a lot better than its title sounds.
“Schumpeter believed that capitalism would ultimately be destroyed by its success. He hypothesized that the economic system would eventually create a large intellectual class that survived by attacking the system of private property and freedom that was necessary for sustaining its own existence.”
I recognize DeLauro and Waters, but what the heck is that thing on the right?
FD: I don’t consider myself all that attractive, but I certainly don’t run around taking that out on other people or screaming for egalitarianism.
Whoa! That’s Cruella DeVille right there!!!
I was aware of Schumpeter’s observation and prediction that the intellectual class would undermine capitalism.
Prager was addressing the psychology of why they would undermine it. They’re smart, right, and so should have come to the obvious conclusion that capitalism has outperformed any known economic system in the history of man kind.
