But then you'll end up attached to a commie. I did. It sukd. I was stuck riding around in a car with a Clinton/Gore bumper sticker. I did break up with him eventually, over political stuff (he was pro-choice, dating a baby killer gave me the squiks), so asking beforehand would have saved a lot of time and energy.

I tend to to believe those that live and breathe politics, whether Liberal or Conservative, will spend time alone unless they can find someone as obsessed with their pet issues as themselves.

I'm currently married to a woman in her mid-thirties with a Masters Degree. Until recently, she wasn't sure if Japan was an ally or enemy during WW2. And her political views were simplistic, shallow and a little too far left of center. But she couldn't care less about politics. She's got intelligence and humor which
compensate.

And her political views are changing slowly but surely.

You know, this goes for friends too. I've had some disappointment when I've nurtured a friendship with someone to find out their crappy politics. It just was never the same after that. I no longer had respect for them and I began to see things in them that should have given me clues.
I'm trying to come up with some imperceptible questions that will give me a clue up front since I'm just so sick of investing time in friendships like these. More than likely I will probably refine where I participate in my interests. I love scrapbooking and was thinking of doing something that will probably alienate me from some of the scrapbookers I know currently, but what they hey;-) I'm thinking of starting a conservative scrapping roundtable where conservative gals who scrapbook can get together and we can discuss the issues of the day without having to educate lefties!
