The day after the 2008 election, my son came home, saying the girl he went out with voted for Obama because he was black. How can you have any conversation with someone so idiotic?

You have to have some fun and play with them.

At that point you should have responded with, "How ironic! I voted for McCain because he was white!"

[GladesGuru]

“How can you have any conversation with someone so idiotic?”

So - who talks with them?

;-)

[I still care]

That’s good. I’ll mention it to my son.

He’s usually pretty fast, but I think the sheer insanity of it caught him off guard.

When I was in college I use to love liberal girls: They believed anything and had no morals. Then I grew up.

Fetchez la vache!

“They must have 3 things
A job, because I cant support you
A car, because I’m not driving your ass around
A place to live, cause they’re not moving in here “

Sounds like a person who works and takes care of himself.

Why not a homeless dude on welfare who uses public transportation? Isn’t that what it’s all about?

This poster says they are liberal but they don’t want a consistently liberal “partner.”

I want to know why it's so difficult to find liberal men. Where are they all?? I see them on here. I hear about them on TV. Where the heck are they hiding?

In the homosexual bath houses.....

[doorgunner69]

Good catch. The lack of gender ID for the “partner” is telling...

[ConservativeMind]

This is one I am going to have my wife read. Liberals are completely twisted and disgusting in every way.

[MoochPooch]

This poster says they are liberal but they don’t want a consistently liberal “partner."

You should check out the latest NEW YORKER, which has an article on online dating. One of the website founders mentions that Republicans have more in common with other Republicans than Democrats do with other Democrats. "The Democrats are doomed," the founder said.

Basically liberals are a bunch of people just doing their own thing and looking for someone who will "go along" with them--let them be them, so to speak.

Which, of course, is a problem with dating, when you're not really sharing a life together--basically co-existing. These people are either too selfish or too kooky to sustain any longterm relationship, with longterm goals or responsibility. Instead, they "hook up" -- look at all the serial monogamy going on.

This is probably the rationale behind gay marriage, which essentially is glorified hook-up.

[hsalaw]

Even if you meet all the other requirements, those who work in low-status jobs such as custodian are Untouchables, even in "Liberal" dating sites. DUer or not. Wealth and power = appeal, and higher "class" makes many overlook more idealistic considerations.

Hey, what about the libs' great love of diversity? What could be more diverse than a neurosurgeon dating a janitor? Hmmm?

[Darkwolf377]

I knew my husband was The One when I found out he was a DUer. I was nervous about entering the relationship. When I expressed doubts, he directed me to his blog,

How depressing. Good thing they both probably just sit around watching TV and don't reproduce.

This is one of the problems with the Internet, this whole checklist of friends and potential lovers. In the old days, you had to get along with neighbors who weren't just like you because that's what was acceptable--someone who didn't speak to anyone except Democrats was the neighborhood loon.

People aren't just who they vote for. Good people, fun people--they come in all kinds. (And when they're around me for long they end up voting Republican, so it all works out!)

[Darkwolf377]

Now, as I am middle aged and while my young thoughts are still there, I look upon them as wonderful memories, my past illusions and clues about life have given away to reality of the stress of coming old age. I see the path of humanity laid out before me as a struggle of passion, art and peace: the person in my life while still needs to be breathing, no only shares that passion but shares it willingly with love and without question. We embrace life, cast away the frivolousness of wasted energy and concentrate on making a better world. Do I have a clue yet? [zzzzzzzzzzzz........]

Holy boring.

So you're saying no one ever asks you out. Got it.

[Darkwolf377]

Almost every one has hit on me

OK, that's a lie.

[Rainbow Rising]

one of those right wingers and I got friendly. . . . He's also funny and makes me laugh till I cry. He's very much a gentleman, and I love that. . . . However, recently I've been noticing things that I think I won't be able to deal with. For example, he believes many of the homeless are 'lazy,' he thinks free trade is great 'in the long run' . . . and he thinks that increasing the taxes of the rich and corporations to pre-Reagan rates is very bad for the country. . . . I really like this right wing guy. Granted, I wouldn't be with him if I'd met some liberals and lefties. However, I don't know what to do.

I'll be glad to take him off your hands if you don't want him. ;-)

It is very important for my romantic partners to have a neutral pH. I also hear that proper pH balance is very important with respect to proper selection of underarm deodorant.

Do you use Dial^®:?
Don't you wish DUmmies did?

[Condor51]

Do you subject potential romantic partners to a litmus test?
I never used to, but I have become stricter and stricter in my standards over the years.

Yeah. Having to stay within your species became a real hurdle.

[Condor51]

Anyone who's going to be more than a casual date must survive (cue dramatic music) an evening meal with our family.

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The DUmmies Family.

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The DUmmies Family.

(Neat) (Sweet) (Petite)

So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The DUmmies Family.
...............

Such a simple alteration, yet perfect for the DUmmie community. Great!
