I don't think there's been a time in recent history in which the woman of the age you are dating wouldn't tend to be thoughtlessly liberal. It's kind of where my screenname comes from “I'm for the children! I want clean air!! I'm for peace! I like good things!!” (As if all the rest of us don't want those things).

As Mr. Mojo said, probably about 95% of the women you encounter fall into the category of being politically ignorant— they think they know stuff, but they've been ill-informed by media in all its forms (news/ movies/ & the all-important & brain decaying OPRAH). I consider it your DUTY to date these women and start the slow process of informing them about the realities of the world. Who knows, you might convert one, marry her & make many little baby conservatives.

My husband was a whiney liberal aclu-supporter when we first met. His work office now features an EIB Attila the Hun chair at his desk, and a photo of Reagan on the wall. People do change.

Good post. ...and good work bringing your hubby around to political sanity. Was it a long process, or did he catch on fairly quickly?
