Don't ever post that photo again.

YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME WHEN I SCROLLED DOWN.

Shame on you to do that to us.

While I was in the throws of liberal madness I started dating my wife, a lifelong republican. We'd had some arguments, but knew better than to talk about politics - mostly because I always lost. I still always lose - she could out-repub Rush if she wanted to. Anyway, we eventually moved in together and then along came 9/11 and the rest is history. Suddenly I started listening instead of just preparing retorts. Over all, I found that dating a republican (while being a democrat) was about as natural and easy as could be. Perhaps she had some qualms - I'll have to ask her.

"To jeopardize a relationship over topics that cannot be proven either way,...."

If you honestly don't believe that a conservative philosophy can be proven right, then you still have a long way to go. Conservatism is rooted in logic and liberalism is rooted in emotion. The problem isn't that the conservative doesn't know that he is right, instead it is the liberal that feels bad. No relationship can survive when either member has surrendered all of their intellect to their emotions. Any time the entire person is not balanced, they will never be worth any value to themselves, let alone a life partner.

Of course, the entire premise and appeal of liberalism is the unbalanced person!

"I'm now dating a nice Democrat, who I actually converted from a Republican,"

Translation: The guy "converted" because he thought it would increase his chance of having sex with her.

Except for an abortion..I don't see how someone else's politics, or religion should matter to another. The subject of abortion should be discussed prior to marriage.

I would prefer to be in a relationship with an individual...regardless of their beliefs....not someone that cared how I voted, or what church I went to.

I believe that right and wrong are relative.

Well, I respectfully submit that we spent the nineties learning a very expensive lesson that public and private morality cannot be separated (i.e. "character counts"). Moral relativists may be charming, but I wouldn't want to have to rely on one.

"I'm now dating a nice Democrat, who I actually converted from a Republican," she says proudly. She explains how her current boyfriend recently slipped a "present" under her door: a voter re-registration card with the "party of choice" box checked "Democrat."

"And he always sits down to urinate," she gushed.

The lady in anecdote did not covert anything. She put out and he put up. Not admirable on either side.

Essentially this says Democrat women are available for easy sex.

she obviously wears the pants(pen*s?) in that "relationship". If true, liberals do make up anecdotes,this makes him the biggest pansy boy.

BTW this propaganda piece tracks with the PMSNBC story of Kerry republicans or other stories about republicans who are not voting for Bush.


They should have done a story about the fact that only conservative minded women are worthy of marriage these days.

When I was 19 (and a firm conservative since age 4, I was a Goldwater Girl), I met a great guy (age 21) and we fell for each other... but he was a leftish-liberal. So I broke up with him, as we had nothing in common politically. 19 years later, we got back in touch; and guess what. He had done a 180 and was now as conservative as me. Unfortunately he's now MWC; I am still single. I guess you just can't tell how the chips are going to fall when you are young.

And the ratio of men to women is about even.

Shouldn't that be 'male to female'? Or, more appropriately, 'metrosexuals to wymyn'.

I ask them straight out, as an opeing line, if you will, who they are voting for on Nov. 2nd. End of story.

Maybe I should be so bold when I meet women. It would certainly cut through all the nonsense.

It is funny that there are those women who won't want to have anything to do with me once it becomes obvious that I am an unabashed conservative. At least I would be willing to discuss or debate issues, not just drop everything and run away like a frightened child.

I don't dispute that being in a relationship with an individual is the primary concern, however I am an individual that is very politically motivated and logical. I personally can not stand anyone that believes in socialistic principles. A very small minority of my friends (2 friends, and 1 wife of a friend) are Democrats and they know that if they want to discuss politics it will be a risk to our friendship. I see them rarely enough that it isn't an issue.

On the other hand, I would expect to see a significant other more frequently and therefore political discussions would be unavoidable. It would ultimately destroy the potential relationship. I know that and I chose not to waste my time or hers with such futile efforts. I just can't see entering any relationship that does not add value to my life and that will not add value to the other person's life.

How you chose to live is obviously different than how I chose to live. I accept that and I don't, in any way, mean to change you.

It is ironic that all women regardless of party ultimatly want the iditia of stability and responsibility. Items not redily part of the leftist mindset but inherent in the conservative mindset. (house, job, good father, provider etc. usual stuff)

It seems the democrat girls just want a disposable boyfriend rather than a woman and man comitment. If a simple screening like "who are you going to vote for" filters them out, so much the better.

BTW has anyone noticed how the gender gap has not appeared this election? Could it be because men are 65% more likely to vote for Bush and women are evenly divided?
