23. I third it.
My wife supports the Repubs in general, but HATES B*sh and the war.

That's good enough for me. B-)

7. Hell yes! And would again in a heartbeat....When it come to sex, I'm not
bigoted by age, race, religion or political persuasion. If you're legal, and fun, interested and willing-well, come sit by me and lets talk and see what happens.

9. Yes
Now how should someone answer if he/she is a Republican yet a stalwart DUer nonetheless? I'm not talking about myself, BTW.

10. He tried but I told him I didn't mess with married men.
I believe his name was kind of weird, like "Newt".

12. I married one in the 80's
and dated one for a couple of years. We got into it over LIHOP/MIHOP shortly after the 9/11. I said even if they didn't cause it they've used as if they did, and it amounts to the same thing....OMG he went wild...called me blasphemous and trashed his house with a bottle of red shrimp cocktail sauce... it was tramatic...looked like a war zone....I stuck around for a little while longer but that ruined it for me plus as the elections drew near I couldn't stand republican anything and I started seeing rush Limbaugh/tony snow/oreilly/ drudge/ glen beck/ hannity/ bush/ Chaney/ etc. when I looked at him ...I had to get out of the relationship.. he still calls and leaves messages wanting to reconcile I just can't. yuck

15. I think my ex-husband was a Republican...
...although we were too busy fighting about everything else to ever discuss politics. Good thing, or somebody would probably be dead by now.

16. I was married to one for the 1st year of marriage. I converted her.
She was raised with WASP,GOP, values her whole life. A year with me and she's now a Dem for life.

18. A few.
If only they had kept their mouths shut I wouldn't be so sorry about it.
And just for the record-the best was actually a Green voter.

19. Well, one of my ex-girlfriends is an idiot.
I could definitely see her and her family being Republicans.

There was also a much nicer, smarter girl who could possibly have been a Repuke. Not really sure.

21. Now there's a bad memory.
Gotta plead guilty, but at least I won't make that mistake again. He wasn't nearly as talented as he thought he was, either.

24. It's been twenty years since I slept with anyone other than my wife.
She is not a Republican.

Some of the women I slept with may have ended up Republicans, but if they were, they didn't tell me about it.

I've been a Democrat all my adult life and I've been pretty political in my approach to my love life.

25. Nope.
They were either apolitical, independent or Democrats. Maybe I repell the self-hating repug women. Good for me.

26. one of my best relationships
was with a moderate, kind of middle of the road person.

She could see both sides of every issue and kind of ponder all the alternative viewpoints.

Although she was definitely middle of the road (and I believe registered as an Independent officially), I feel like she turned to the left a bit easier and more frequently than she turned to the right (from the middle of the road).

But, it was always fun to talk politics with her--because even when she disagreed with me--she was well-informed, listened, and was just plain fun to ponder politics with.

I don't want someone who has all the same viewpoints that I do--that would be boring. I don't want someone with exactly the same opinions and interests as mine--when someone seems to be too much in synch with me--I suspect that they are trying to hide their true self in an attempt to have more "in common with me".

I most enjoy being around a person who is authentic and can honestly disagree with me once in a while. I don't want a clone of myself--I am stuck being with myself ALL the time, and frankly sometimes I get sick of myself. I want someone with a unique perspective--who can occasionally make me see and think of things in a new way.

27. I'm sure I have. But politics was never part of my criteria back then.
But GWB changed everything.

29. Hell, I married one
We were apolitical when we got married but in the end she followed the political leanings of her parents. I turned out to be a liberal.:shrug:
My current wife is a Democrat.

Hell, I guess that's one upside to still being a virgin, at least I'm "untainted." lol

And FTR, this is not even close to the all-time dumbest poll on DU!

35. They would be easier to avoid
if you could tell them apart from real humans. Maybe a swastika tattooed on the forehead, or blood continually seeping from the pores on their hands.
