'Romantic liaison', that's sex right? I could do that with someone of differing political views, but my wife would probably be pissed if I did! Lol

If they voted for Obama or any other major Democrat, they are kicked out of the car. I don't want to date someone who is clinically insane. It's crazy enough to support the Republicans or any other party, but only insane or corrupt people support the Democrats.

v No, it wouldn't work

Would a dog date a cat? Would a Christian date a Satan worshiper? Then why would ANYONE date someone who stands totally at odds with their core belief system?

For example, I could not be married to someone who was strongly religious. I could not be married to someone who was anti-gun. I could not be married to someone who was bigoted or racially prejudiced.

Previous wife too. As long as she was alive she was an ultra liberal and I am a libertarian. My current wife is to the left of O.Â Â She can not discuss politics with me because I back up my opinions with facts. She can not do the same so just refuses.

Just as in policy-making, personal relationships and views on the role of government should be kept separate.

Are you married? Then you already live like this. Sure maybe not on the Government level, but I guarantee you have differences, or you are a lucky person.

My political beliefs are so based upon my spiritual beliefs that even if the person was a Christian it would practically be like dating an atheist for me.

No, I simply have found liberals to be not that smart and way too much into themselves and their causes.

USailCapital

v Yes, no problem

I have in the past, and do now. No problems at all. Anyone that sees it as an issue or has problems with it then they clearly are insecure and incapable of an open mind to others differing opinions. In which case any relationship for that type of person would be a failure in all cases, with anyone,

Mind you my partner now is just not into politics, so it works. He never voted before he met me. But for flings, who cares? I've never had to know their last name, let along their political leanings.

If they can base their ideals on logic and can make a good argument for their beliefs, sure, why not. I love having discussions with people who are smart and can logically disagree with me.
