Exactly! Although to me, it's not so much about raising kids, but how I could share my life and my heart with someone who thinks that Clinton was great and voting for Hildebeast was a good thing.

Also, conservative men tend to be more handsome and masculine. :)

First of all, thanks for the compliment. *grin*

Second, on a serious note, think of the conversion possibilities. My father always voted Repub, but my mom voted for Carter (!) for his first term. By 1980, she was voting for Reagan, and now she is a fire-breathing conservative. Look at it as potential votes to be switched...

Funny this should come up: a friend of mine is the recent beneficiary of the fact that all the males in his fiancees group of friends belong to various theater groups and, by her admission, are "all gay."

I joined conservativematch.com. So far, my only e-mail is from a San Diego Union Tribune reporter researching a story on politically-oriented dating sites, lol. She wanted to interview me - I declined. Why help out a leftist rag that never saw a tax increase or gun control law it didn't like?

So right you are. Those who would excuse Bill Clinton's sleazy behavior are not the types I'd want to share my life with. No Carville - Matalin relationship for me!

You are right. And what would happen to this country after couple generations of such assortative mating? They are talking polarization? They ain't seen anything yet.

Ideally, husbands and wives agree on basic principles to live by and try their best to follow them. Otherwise, there will be problems which frequently lead to divorce.

"Worse yet for the lefty hetero females, when they find a non-gay lefty, more than likely, the guy is a metrosexual."

That fact alone is enough for me to remain on the Right!

I agree with your post 100%. If you can't expect some modicum of morality from your partner regarding politics, why would you expect morality in the committment? What would stop them from carrying on extra-marital affairs?

Within weeks she knew he was the one. Shared political beliefs "are one more set of criteria that lets you know you're soul mates," she says.

I read another thread like this. Basically leftists want to enforce leftist ideologies on others and demand that leftist othodoxy be enforced in a relationship. Its selfish to demand ideological purity in a relationship, but is'nt this typical of liberals? You see the same thing in colleges where professors demand their students parrot their liberal ideas back to them for good grades and failure to do so results in punishment.

I just want to let all the Republican babes out there know that old Exile is happily married. I know it's a crime to have such a handsome and dashing dude as myself tied to one woman, but what can I say. Also Mrs. Exile is mean and scary when crossed. I can't betray a woman who has a black belt in Hurt-fu. So ladies, if you want to undress me with your eyes, there is nothing I can do to stop it, but Mrs. Exile will try.

Personally, I feel sorry for those that would have something like politics as a requisite for marriage or dating. I fear this trend, and things like internet forums for example, are going to do nothing more than divide people. There is less and less 'fair and balanced', and more 'our side vs your side'. It's un-American, and I think, dangerous.

Go read some of the online profiles at some of these services. The ones who classify themselves as liberal often are hateful in their descriptions when they say that they don't want a conservative, "fundamentalist Christian", or the ever popular "W. lover" to respond to their profile. They also tend to be the more unattractive ones as well. A coincidence????? ;)

The ones who put conservative rarely state that they limit themselves to conservative thinkers only, and if they do it is never in vile terms.

"What a fag."

I would agree with you on that one, especially after seeing the incredible profile you put up. On another site, I had someone contact me and start a correspondence, despite that she had "liberal" down and I, of course, have "conservative". I made wisecrack, with regard to a trip to Barnes & Noble, about Clinton's book and the fact I did not need any more toilet paper. She responded that she hated Reagan and loved Clinton, and this might be a "dealbreaker" (well, duh). I am still shaking my head over that one.
