GET OFF YOUR KNEES.
Just a suggestion.

This is not a Lonely Hearts Club. This is an absolutely silly post.
Give her a good scrogging and lay of the politics with her
Well, at least this is a new and different vanity. Sort of kinder and gentler than politics. Would Dear Abby pick up the white courtesy phone.
I also think you're letting your distress over this election color things. I'm distressed, too. I've tried to stay away from people.
America has undergone a change (change!) and a kind of mass Obama hypnosis. I don't think you ought to hold it against her. A lot of people have been seduced.
Is she good looking?
I read through your thread, but didn’t see where you mentioned how old she is, or if she is in school or has a job.
When we first met, my wife “leaned towards the left.” I slowly exposed her to several truths concerning socialism (she was born and raised in Germany).
She is very scared of the Obama administration. She sees it as a repeat of 1930s Germany.
I say dump her, I never could figure out that Carville-Matalin thing. Who needs to come home to that.
GET OFF YOUR KNEES.
Just a suggestion.
We need a photo to determine "guilt."
Sounds like you may have grounds for divorce, so I suggest you get married.
If agreement over politics is as important to you as agreement over religion and you can’t accept her making shallow political decisions that you wouldn’t make, the relationship if probably going to have problems. Her reluctance to tell you who she voted for and so on also doesn’t sound hopeful. But ultimately, this is about something that’s important to you and she’s shown that she’s willing and able to vote in ways that you’ll disagree with. Either you can accept that (as some other Freepers have, who talk about Democrat-voting spouses) and you should probably just stay away from politics with her or you can’t, in which case it’s probably time to move on. But you’ve got to look into your own heart for that answer. Imagine two scenarios in your mind. A future with her voting for people like Obama and Hillary Clinton or a future without her. Which one bothers you more?
Dump her. You’re too young for this bother anyway. If she voted Obama and won’t tell you, what else isn’t she telling you? Good God she voted Obama! You have to ask what to do?
Go find a good conservative girl and make conservative babies. AFTER you’re married of course!
Give the guy a break. Not silly - just novel!
You said it yourself: you and your girlfriend share the same values.
You’re politically sophisticated, and she isn’t(yet). So you’ll educate her...gently! But if she remains apathetic, let it go.
I’ve cast votes in my callow youth that I now regret. You haven’t?
I thought you were going to tell us she was a screaming lib but you were wild about her anyway, and I would tell you to move on. Instead it sounds like you two are plenty compatible. You’d be a fool to throw away someone with whom you share so much over this issue.
BTW, you should apologize to your girlfriend for hounding her about her vote. It makes you look like a bully.
Mary Matalin and a circumcised snakehead...shudder...
If she did vote for the Obomination, you may want to ask her how he is compatible to Christianity. Ask her about her views on abortion or infanticide, coveting other peoples money. Maybe you don't know her as well as you thought? Or maybe she doesn't think. Some people truly don't think about these things. They REACT to things.
OTOH you have James Carville and Mary Matalin appearing to be happily married. Maybe it's their diametrically opposed views that turns them on? I don't know ... I don know that for my spouse and I our values/beliefs spill over into the political arena and they are the same. We are very compatible.
This is why I question how well do you really know HER. Just what are her values/beliefs? Are they really compatible with yours?
