Please keep this thread about Relationships, not about your specific political views. Political grandstanding belongs in the P&OC forum. Thanks.

"Wow, you're hot...before we go any further, do you support the payroll tax extension?"
Nice!
I'd have to say that in today's world, I'd have to take a person's political views into consideration....if only because people simply won't shut up about them.
I wouldn't date anyone who gets their political perspective from a bumper sticker.
So unless one partner just totally goes off the rails and either starts burning crosses in yards or starts ramming Japanese whaling vessels, then two mature adults can learn to compromise on just about every aspect of day-to-day life. THAT's the stuff that matters. Not a person's opinion on Keynesian vs. Austrian economics.
This made me laugh, because Keynesian economics have actually triggered many a debate in my household, believe it or not (I live with an accountant/all-around economics person). Even at this rate, it's fine to have differences of opinion. If you respect the person, you can tolerate not having carbon copy viewpoints. There are some people who will say, "But I simply CAN'T respect a [republican/democrat/libertarian/Christian/rastafarian/secular humanist/whatever]." That's their thing, fine...I just find it to be limiting and oversimplifying. People are complex.
I don't know if it was rejected, but I had a "mutual" first date was the last date with a woman "interviewing" me on some of the more politically charged issues affecting Catholics. I think my positions were more relaxed than hers, from what I could tell. It was sort of a perfunctory date, so I didn't care which way it went. I can say, though, that she was, and probably still is, a nice lady.
