Do you and your spouse/gf/bf agree politically?

[MariaBonita 11]

My husband and i do not always agree, but respect each other's views. this is the only presidential election we agree on since i have been able to vote. we both support Romney

I always say that i am an independent voter, kind of leaning toward libertarianism.

my husband is a 100 % Conservative/Republican.

what about the rest of you?

oops, it tried to insert a poll in this thread, but must to have done it wrong since the poll is not showing. i hope the thread by itself is ok with the moderators.

We don't agree on everything politically and have had some very heated disagreements on some things but our overall political opinions are very similar and we are both 100% behind Obama. My wife suffered 4 years of Romney as governor so she wouldn't vote for him even if she was a republican.

Yes. I can't think of an issue we don't agree on.

Yes we do without exception, if we didn't...there wouldn't be a relationship.

Not always. My wife has a mind of her own.

Hi Tess!

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

I am Libertarian which means I agree with everyone on some things and disagree with everyone on others. Neither fish nor fowl, not liberal or conservative (though I think of myself as a TRUE liberal)

Alla and I do not agree on everything but so what? As long as she always gets her way.... She says we only disagree when I am wrong about something. She would be more socialist than me but at the same time is very conservative regarding the ideas of family and work ethic and roles of men, women and children (yes children have roles also!)

She is socially liberal, pro choice (doesn't like abortion so she won't have one), pro Gay rights (who cares? Not like we all don't have our own kinks anyway), doesn't care about marijuana, sex scandals (seriously? what do you think men do in Columbia?)etc. About like me on all those issues. Says we moved to Vermont because our female Pekinese and female Persian cat are always humping each other so we had to move here so they could get married. Too jaded from a life in the Soviet Union to trust government for very much or worry about small stuff, but loves the trash service we have. She is pretty well convinced almost everything is to control you and keep track of you. Especially the immigration process! But also credit cards, bank accounts, drivers licenses...none of which prevents her from using a TJMaxx card to get an extra 10% off shoes. Let's be practical about this!!! She says the Soviets "tried to wash my brain, but it did not work. I have a dirty mind!"

FWIW my mother is a Democrat (still alive and voting!)...one of those Kool Aid drinking types, and my father was a Conservative a bit to the right of Barry Goldwater. They always would be sneaking around on election day trying to get to the voting place without the other so the other could not "cancel their vote". Eventually would end up going to vote together. Of 8 children they had they are split about 50/50 politically with me in the middle with a love/hate relationship with all of them. Plus I married a Soviet just for the topper and most of the conversation in my home is Russian.

we never have heated disagreements. Certainly not over things that do not matter. And unless someone is in immediate threat of death or sever bodily injury...it does not matter. Are you kidding? Have sex instead.

What doesn't matter to you or Alla doesn't mean that it can't matter to other couples. Who cares if they have disagreements about politics? You seem to think, or imply that you think, that your relationship is the example for everyone to follow.

Sorry, I was assuming sex with one's spouse would be more pleasurable than a heated disagreement. I stand corrected. I should not make that assumption for everyone else

Do you come here just to disagree with SOMEONE since you are not allowed to disagree with your husband?

What a stupid comment. I wasn't even disagreeing with you. Just commenting on your "my relationship works like this, so yours should too!" attitude that you seem have.

You know that's a good question that gives me pause. She has only been here about 10 months. So far she has soaked in a lot and heard My friends and I talk politics a lot. I just went and asked. She said Romney of course. She did watch the debates.
