Do you and your FH share political views?

[crazydaizychiki]

I'm just curious.

[lizardbnorton]

We do most of the time, but there are a few things we don't agree on at all. Life would be boring if we totally agreed.

[bichonlvr]

For the most part!!!!

[HisMuse]

Actually we've both come to some strong conclusions within the past few years after discussing some things and we're about at the same place.

[SouthernQueenBride]

Ha! So funny you polled on this! We were laughing about this the other day. Me and the FH DO NOT share the same political views but I will say that we respect each others opinions.

When we first started dating I told him ... "I won't date ANYONE who is not a believer in God and a Republican" And he told me he was a Christain(which he is) and did not follow politics that much!!! Well then a few months down the road when I tried to get him to come to a Republican's meeting with me he admited that he is a die hard ANTI-Republican. It was funny at the time and it is now. It is just so funny b/c I am on the board of the "Women's Republican Committee" here in my home town.

I consider my politics, especially on social issues, too integral to my own world view, values, and morality for them NOT to coincide with my FH's. We pretty much agree on all major political issues. (We are both extremely socially liberal)

[Nekochanpurr]

My FH are pretty much in agreement in most things. There are a few things we both discuss and aren't sure about either way, or we don't agree with, and thats fine. :) I find it kind of creepy, actually, if you don't have at least one thing you all can't agree on, lol. It makes things interesting!
I'd class us as conservative, but we don't hold a loyalty to any party.

[miranda]

We agree on most things. We're both fairly liberal, but mostly just plain disgusted with politics :hothead:

[snu]

For the most part, we have the same views. He's more conservative than I am, though.

[frenchie]

For the most part we have similar views, but I voted no anyway since we voted differently at this election, but we didn't really feel VERY strongly about it. For example I'm not about to join any political party, him even less.

[lize566]

I voted no. I don't keep up with politics that much, but what I do have opinions, they are mostly different then his. It may not be disagreements as much as it is he has stronger feelings about some things. I am more laidback and don't really get worked up over stuff I can't do a lot about, like the war. I don't necessarily agree or disagree, but I support the troops and the president b/c he is are leader, whether people like it or not, but he gets ALLLLL worked up over it! So we sometimes have disagreements, but it's not always over total opposite veiwpoints if that makes sense.

Funny story about us and politics, though. He is a very anti-republican, so when I went to get my license renewed when I turned 21, I wasn't registered to vote, so I registered. As I was standing there debating which box to check b/c I don't really have a loyalty either way, he goes "you better not check republican" so what did I do? Checked republican! He was mad for the rest of the day lol. You guys may not see the humour b/c you don't know us that well, but we pick on each other constantly-some call it argue, but they aren't really fights, but it keeps the relationship interesting.

[ikkin510]

While neither of us are huge on politics, we do share the same views on the issues that do get us hooked.

[WebLady]

We agree on all the things that are important to us :frogg:

[hummingbird521]

We do not share the same views at all. In fact a couple of months ago we got into a rather heated discussion over Hilary Clinton. *giggle* We ended up calling for a truce and deciding we would never think the same about politics, so we simply agreed to always dissagree about it.

We decided we wouldn't bring the subject up again unless we felt like bickering at one another. lol.

[KMS]

We share the same viewpoints on most political issues. Most of our group of friends hold opposite views as us and we are still plenty close with them, but I don't know if I could have such a deep intimate relationship with somebody that didn't hold the same views as I do. My political views play into too many other areas of my life.

[TangoWedding]

No way. He's a Christian right Republican...I'm a bleeding heart liberal Democrat. :bblol:

But neither of us engage TOO much in political discussion. Unless Walmart comes up...then I rage against the machine! Heheh!

But we do respect each other's viewpoints and agree to disagree about a lot of things. We do try to convince each other to come over to the 'good side' sometimes, though. :geek:

[BrideInCuffs21]

I am dumber than dumb when it comes to politics. I don;t know what party I am with. My FH and I don't speak about politics at all because I dont get it....

[TangoWedding]

Then I certainly hope you don't vote. :bblol:

[septemberbride06]

actually we used to not (when we first met) and one time we had a REALLY in depth convo. about politics and he actually "converted" to my political views (plus, I know alot about political issues due tomy mother...she's crazy with this stuff LOL)

[crazydaizychiki]

FH didn't have any political views before me. Now he's stuck with a left wing crazy. HILLARY 2008! I'm addicted to CNN and I think Hillary would be the best thing to happen to the U.S. :). I was thinking about minoring in either political science or women's studies so I'll be able to get into activism when I have more experience.

[WBandMe]

I voted that we don't discuss it. We've talked about issues here and there, but he and his brother are big on debates, and FH is the type to sit and rant and argue about politics for hours. I have my views, keep them quiet, and don't really get into it unless it is one of the issues I feel REALLY strong about, and there are about 3 of those. So, it's not that we couldn't discuss without fighting or that we'd completely disagree...I just don't like getting him all revved up about it and getting myself into a conversation I don't want to be in!

[Nikita706]

DH and I definitely share political views. I may be a tad more conservative than him, but we're both essentially liberal, and we certainly don't disagree on any issues.

[Always&Forever]

Haha, I sincerely wish we agreed more on politics! Growing up in a household like mine, I absolutely can not believe that I am going to marry a democrat! My dad says he likes everything about John except his political views! John is a political science major so obviously this is a major passion for him. I cringe every time we're at my parents house and this topic comes up. I know then that we won't be heading out for a few more hours!

We met with our minister the other day and he asked if John and I bickered a lot. Honestly, the only time we disagree/argue is when politics are involved! Knowing this, we try to keep the political talks to a minimum. :rassberry:

[crazycatlady]

were both extremely liberal. he even took a political views test to tell him where he stood and were both in almost the same exact spot. i can't imagine marrying (or even dating) a republican so Im very happy he's not. we talk about politics all the time. he didnt used to be into it but now that he knows how important it is to me, he has been researching and actually pays attention now. sometimes he'll say things just to make me tick. But we don't disagree on anything really. his parents on the other hand......

[rainbowtreat]

We don't discuss it. He loves it I hate it so if he wants to talk about it he calls him mom or nana.
