Small "c" conservative here. I really dont care for extremes of either side. I couldn't date a religiously conservative woman. The last two women I dated were very Liberal, and Im not, but I started out as a Dem so I could handle it. They apparently had no problem dating me.
Every now and after starting conversations with a person who says they are a Republican or a moderate. They initially seem to be knowledgeable of the issues, but five minutes into the conversation they have run out of talking points, and it's clear to everyone that they really don't know what they are talking about.
It's rather humorous, because sometimes I'll find that I'm actually defending the liberal position on the issue, because the assumptions and reasoning, by the "republican" for why they were opposing the liberals or democrats, was based on false or misunderstood information.
To me, it's more important that people argue their positions from the position of strength, with facts and truths, rather than me just being satisfied that someone is taking up my side of the issue.
LOL, I know, right? I don't really care if you're a Republican or Democrat, so long as you're intellectually honest.
I've found myself in the exact situation you're describing.
Naw, dude, I was a gay republican for a long time, and if there's one thing most gay people won't tolerate...it's a republican.
Which is ironic because they're always demanding tolerance and expecting people not to stereotype out of ignorance...but then they do it.
You know if the Republican party could just shake it's ties with the radical religious right, I think it would be much more attractive to many more people and be far more inclusive. As a Republican, I really can't stand the party's obsession with religious fanatics. I'm a Republican, and an Atheist who supports gay marriage. Riddle me that. I'm betting there are many more like me, but the loudest voices are the only ones that get heard.
and it is funny a lot of these young, successful, tech savvy males date republican girls.
Are these young tech savvy males posting their political view and if so what is it? IMHO if it's Republicans dating Republicans, that is one thing. Perhaps they are libertarian and those views are too what's a libertarian to most. https://youtu.be/Gq_pVPQLZFI
In an effort to be more dateable and appear less nutty - most Republicans lie about being Republicans.
While just 18 percent of Democrats said they’ve hidden their party affiliation on a date, 57 percent of Republicans replied they would, or have, lied about their political leanings.
“It’s one thing to privately show one’s support when voting,†the site’s founder and CEO, Brandon Wade, said in a news release, “but when it comes down to impressing a date, Republican singles aren’t standing with their party.â€
A whopping 82 percent of Democrats — compared to only 43 percent of Republicans — said they wouldn’t dream of keeping their political viewpoints hush-hush while on a date.

MANY republicans I know are all these things (except many are actual church-goers).
Doctors, lawyers, engineers, professors, accountants, nurses...
The religious right taking over the voice of the party has frustrated many people.

I love the constant hand-wringing about the GOP.
Have you taken a look at who is running the Democrat Party lately?

Like I said, sweetieface, being a republican cannot just be about hating the dem candidates (which we all do).
We have had numerous opportunities to take over everything BECAUSE the dems have had such crappy candidates and ideas...and what did we do instead? Put up even more crappy candidates and stupider ideas.

How can a liberal be "intellectually honest?"
