Nah. I don't talk politics with people much, especially not casual friends and acquantences. My close freinds and family have enough to talk about other than politics too. I can't be close to people who think completely different from me though, we'd have nothing in common.
I wouldn't end a friendship just over a difference in political beliefs; but people who talk about nothing but politics and about who they hate get to be a drag, no matter where they may fall on the political spectrum. I suppose it would be impossible for me to maintain a serious friendship with a Nazi or Communist though, for example. Most other shades of opinion I could tolerate as long as we had enough else in common to relate.
Hell...if she doesn't like Obama, you should hang onto her....she's a very smart lady and will be in your best interests. Maybe she needs new friends too who aren't blind and deaf.
I'll introduce you. You can go to Klan rallies together.

I suppose a moderate would not be hard to get along with.
My mom, whom I had lived with after my dad died, was what I thought of as a radical conservative. She would get so upset if I said anything that deviated from the party line that I just shut up or agreed with her. Years later, she died and I met my now husband, who is liberal. It is so liberating to live with an open minded person. I think most thinking people are flexible in some of their beliefs and can get along together. It is the close minded bigots who break friendships.
I think a lot of Fox listeners find a sense of community there, like kids in gangs. It fills a need that runs deeper than the politics. That's why they appear to be irrational and unbudging.

Kinda the way I see it. Would rather talk politics with strangers.
whats happening is this rendition of democrats is completely without morals...the ones with morals left the party...so its not just a political idea..the democrats are absolutely immoral ...people with morals can notice these things and relate...people who are non reflective don't see and push the immoral activities under the carpet....this is how Obama is effective and relates, he is loud and speaks from an injured disposition that he is being un fairly over viewed, the cry baby approach that refuse's to take responsibilities for anything and insists on being right, making beer in the basement, going on shows and getting his teeth whitened...social acceptance and loudness is important to lefties because reflection gets the boot...thought and careful consideration toward ethic is enemy #1 for lefties...and Obama always always try to fake it. You can spot the baloney a mile away though... so emphasized and always used as a tool.
A sharp 17 year old could prep for 3 days and easily win this next debate. Obama has no case to argue and will be pointing the finger at anything and everything under the sun in order to fix a common ground villain plus this investigation baloney.......he'll prob start with a great big speech at getting the ones responsible for the last attack. ...which says what exactly..?
Ah yes, we democrats are just oh so immoral, we feel like old whores, everything we do is either illegal, immoral or fattening!
Nope. I have numerous conservative friends, and I have numerous liberal friends. Sure, when us liberals get together, we sometimes whine and moan about conservatives, but when we have a good mix, we never talk politics.
