You could buy her the Popular Science book debunking all of the conspiracy theories on the WTC bombing.
If she fails to understand it, try giving her a tin-foil hat.
If she fails to see the humor, run for it!
Go shopping in New Hampshire or in the Massachusetts hinterlands.
They are the poster children for the term "Unholy Alliance"
Here's my thing: I believe you're a person first, a political animal somewhere down the line. Way down the line.
This will be a good exercise for you to sort out just what it means to treat someone with charity and dignity and how a) it IS possible and b) it IS essential if we are to keep the "civil" in civilization.
All markets are made of differences in opinion (buyers on one side, sellers on the other) and that includes the Marketplace of Ideas. But all players must still recognize and accord the dignity of all on both sides. Or the market dies. You can extrapolate that principal into any realm you want. It's universal.
THAT is how President Bush can do a photo op with Bill Clinton.
Godspeed, my friend, and may your tribe increase (sounds like it's about to).
You may also want to look for interviews of Carville and Matalin.
You get an opportunity to demonstrate that conservatives aren't evil.
Finally, remember: she's a person. She may be deranged or just poorly informed (and probably very emotional about it, for obvious reasons) but your job, man, is to separate the issues and treat her with dignity.
GO!
Tell her that since she has figured it all out, you must now go into the witness protection program.
Dump her. Quickly.
Try to subtly determine who has influenced her to believe such craziness. If you feel you could overcome those influences over the years then she may be worth keeping/saving.
While she does not seem to have the qualities one would seek to pass on to their children, I am assuming you aren't looking for children based on your age. So if indeed you can push that aside, here is the deal:
This girl has demonstrated that she is gullible and prone to outside control based on feelings rather than evidence. This means that she will be very easy for you to "train". Look into psycho-politics and mind control and formulate a strategy for making her yours.
Now, to be clear, if you are looking for an actual co-equal partner that you will respect, save yourself the trouble and dump her. But if your desire is to have a woman as a "pet", she may be the ticket!
Hope this helps.
Move to a red state or join a church or both. Conservative women are infinitely more attractive than libs. Looks fade, the marriage is for a lifetime.
I tried a relationship like that once. Once was enough to convince me it was a bad idea.
She likes fiction? Make her read a few Heinleins (the earlier works, not his late crap). Start with THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS, or STARSHIP TROOPERS. Discuss the ideas in the books. Follow with other good fiction of a conservative or libertarian slant. Fiction can get in the cracks where your vocal arguments cannot. If she is still impervious to reason after that, dump her. I hate to say that since I know how hard it is to find someone you like ... but unless you want a lifetime of arguing and listening to her rant about nonsense, you'll have to just start over. (In the meantime, if I may be blunt, don't sleep with her. It is a million times harder to break up with someone after that.)
I would give it a try with the fiction, though. I was a Dimocrat myself until 9-11 -- when suddenly, a lifetime of reading libertarian SF kicked in and I saw the light. It can happen.
If she smells ok, doink her all you want until you find a good chick. Try to get her to cook and clean as much as posible, too.
Dump her every once in a while. For some reason, lib chicks like you a lot more when you dump them every once in a while.
Laugh and feign ignorance if she talks politics. Once in a while try some subtle training. Who knows, maybe in time she'll grow brain cells.
wait til you score, then dump her hard
oh, and then get tested at the clinic
j/k (sorta)
I'm sitting here coughing, oh man, that was good.
Sign her up for an account here, and then when she posts be the first to reply IBTZ.

So I'd ask her some questions, question her assumptions. A good woman will be happy that you're actually listening, and responding. I'd keep dating one of these, as you'll eventually turn her around, or at least jointly decide not to discuss politics.
A wacko will respond by more tirades, and demonstrate her inability to have a constructive discussion about anything. You will then know that any kind of real relationship would not work anyway.
Good luck !
True, but this pet will have a network of girlfriends to work against the pet owner.
Dump her. I never had a relationship with a liberal that worked out. I married a guy who was on the same level as me poltically so much we think alike and even though everything else was good, it couldn't be perfect unless we fit in every aspect of our lives together.
My advice, get a relationship with God, go to church, meet a nice girl who isn't a liberal!
After you answer, shield the mouthpiece and say, "Yes, sir. I think I can talk now. I can always make time for you sir. No, sir. She is right here with me."
(Then speak in a frantic whisper-loud enough for her to hear)"Oh, Karl! I don't think I can do that."
(Then in a normal voice)"Yes, sir. I understand. Anything for the party, sir."
Then hang up the phone and look at her. Then look away then to the right and left and up and down while saying, "Um, I , uh, have to, uh, like, you know, go to the, uh, men's room."
Then start whistling and walk away looking all around and maybe under a table or two.
