Could you fall in love with someone that's your political opposite? (64)
Hey Darlin' 
I did before I met and married Mr.Bear. :) I had dated the young man for a year and learned that not only were we polar opposites politically but polar opposites in personality and beliefs as well. It wasn't a good match. We simply didn't suit one another, hence why I'm not married to him. I upgraded to First Class and couldn't be happier.

gardenhackle: You meet someone realy nice, good looking and with adequate means but you find out very quickly that they're the polar opposite if you politically. Would that stop you from wanting a second date?
SURE, COS THAT ARGUEMENT WILL ONLY LAST AN HOUR OR SO

I couldn't deal with it. The things they believe are all red flags about their future growth, intellectual curiosity and earnings/career/life potential. We'd be at odds all the time with the issue of personal responsibility vs. nanny state mentality. Too many serious real-life implications.

My final answer >> That would stop me from wanting a second date.
However, it's only my opinion though,
each people has different ideas, if you can agree/discuss (with your love) to disagree to let something like politics get in between your love life, 
and never discuss it in anger, 
that would no problem.
I dont discuss politics with my friends cus I don't like fireworks. :P

It's a values issue with me. Politics, like it or not are an integral part of our lives. I wouldn't want to be with anyone that didn't have similar values or beliefs. It would be like the arguements on these forums.

That seems to be the norm over the past 2+ years. All conservatives are taking it that way. Thank goodness for polygrip so I can at least feel it...

If one is truely in love, politics doesn't stand a chance. One may choose to deny the love, but it is still there. I can not see myself turning down the posability of a great relationship over who is responsable for screwing up the economy.

Personally, I think have genuine Love two would have to have somewhat similar thoughts of humanitarian and ecological policy to have any hope of intellectual intimacy........and politically opposites could never have that
besides - who would want the stress every four years

If they agree to disagree in politics,and politics is a subject they will mutually agreed,not to talk about in private and in puplic,then why not for a second date.

probably not, unless he wasnt the controlling type who let me have a mind of my own and let me keep my opinions..lol------ This poll is Archived ------
Working in a major corporation, having a business of my own, being pragmatic about energy, individual rights, captitalism as the greatest vehicle for personal fulfillment and pursuit of happiness, there's no WAY I could tolerate someone that isn't sharp enough to understand those things. I make sure right up front that it's clear I'm conservative in politics. That way any bleeding heart tree-huggger, bunny-hugger, envirowhacko, corporation-hating-bimbo will take on a palid green complexion and excuse themself never to be seen again. Nip it in the bud. People who are unable to think pragmatically and use solid reasoning skills end up making poor decisions that negatively affect them and everyone else around them.
Oh yeah... I also hunt and eat meat, so that takes a lot of aerie faerie types off the table, too.

The smart ones are like that, but I also find political positiong to be indicative of intelligence and I've known damned few on the other side of the political fence that could just go along with "it's cool... we don't agree on everything.... LOVE YOU ANYWAY!".

True..Some people seem to like to control what others do in every aspect of their lives, including their political beliefs..I steer clear of getting involved with someone like that..Just makes life easier and more drama free..lol------ This poll is Archived ------

If I find out that soon, I wouldn't want another date. If I found out after I had fallen for him, we would likely not talk about it - only on a rare occasion. It's certainly easier if you have the same beliefs.(Are James Carville & Mary Matalin still married?
I've been curious about that for a while now- if they are, I'd say good job!...and she must have a lot of patience )------ This poll is Archived ------

I think they're both so over-the-top with their rhetoric that they just consider it a game. That's the only way it makes sense to me and I've got to hand it to Carville, he's one funny SOB. He knows how to spin and misrepresent and use every dirty debate trick in the book... and does it like he thinks it's the funniest thing ever. There's no way he can take the stuff he crafts into material seriously.
But I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they're discussing politics.

All I know is that You will try to show she is so wrong and eventually you will call her stupid and all that.I am sure she would answer a big NOOOOO to this thread then...
Political opinions are just part of our thoughts, and I do not fall in love with other people's thoughts. I just enjoy time with somoene if I am in the mood. I just decide how to use my time and they decide what they think about anythign like Politics. It is simple.

I'd ask a question or two to see just how deep the insanity goes, but I wouldn't probe too much. It would just be a short date a permanent goodbye.

Conrad73: James Carville,Married,to a Conservative?
Oh, yes!
(and still married, since 1993, with 2 children now- I was so curious I had to look it up -)
I can't imagine how they've managed it, though... G.H. must be right about him, not actually believing all his own stuff he puts out(plus article says he has attention-deficit disorder - if his meds. run out during the day, she could run circles around him, which might be helpful to her sanity - the disorder makes one very Scatterbrained - I'm ADHD myself - SCatlyn
