baby-kisser

(redirected from babykissers)

baby-kisser

A politician (due to their reputation for schmoozing with the public). You know you can't trust a baby-kisser—once they're voted into office, they don't follow through on any of their promises. That candidate doesn't seem like your run-of-the-mill baby-kisser. She really seems to want to make a difference in office. Please, Washington is made up of baby-kissers who don't do a thing after they've secured your vote.
