Are you and your SO similar or different in your basic leaning? If you are opposites, how do you deal with that? Do you just agree to disagree or argue?

DH and I were both really conservative when we met. However, as time has gone by I have become more and more liberal on many issues - he has stayed conservative, perhaps even become moreso. We have come to the realization that there are just certain things we cannot discuss because of our absolute differences and conviction in those differences.

we tend to agree on everything

we're both conservative...him more so than I.

I am a little more Liberal than Mike. He was raised very strict, unwavering Irish Catholic so that has a pretty big impact on his political views. But as we get older and read more, he's becoming more and more Liberal.

We almost always agree on everything concerning politics, religion, etc. :)

We usually agree.

I'm pretty liberal on most social issues and moderate on everything else and DB was raised Catholic and very conservative, so we have quite a few differences. If we talk about it at all, it is usually just joking. If we have a serious convo about stuff it ends in a frustrated stalemate.

No we are opposite he is a staunch conservative republican...but I am trying to turn him around. :)

I'm absolutely liberal, very very liberal. I think he's kinda fence-y. He has enough liberal tendencies that it isn't a problem for us though. We have enough debates over religion, we don't need to add the raging political differences too!

politically and religiously we agree on what we consider to be the basic--in a conservative mindset; even though we are of differing faiths (i'm jewish, he's christian). we argued some at first; much compromising went into this marriage. not in terms of personal worship or faith, but in how we'd express them as a couple. but politically, both conservative--no compromise there.

I think we are 1/2 and 1/2. there are alot we agree, but there are alot we don't agree upon. Me I have just learned to not discuss certain issues, especially political once, when we are with his navy crowd. There are just somethings I choose to keep to myself. and if I know dh feels differently about things I keep quiet. but when it comes to children issues I raise hell. And get my way.

We are both pretty conservative. He comes from a family that is pretty liberal, but he somehow escaped that...haha. We have had some interesting discussions with his family, but it is all good. I don't mind debating political issues as long as it is done respectfully. That was a wonderful benefit of my ethics class - learning to debate issues while supporting them with facts, not just beliefs.

we're pretty much the same on basically all topics(very liberal)

DH is very conservative politically. I used to also be very conservative as well. In the last year or two, I've become significantly more liberal. I have really become more aware of enviromental issues, which the conservatives don't seem to care much about (this particular administration anyway), and to be quite frank, the whole mess we're in right now in the middle east has made me re-think ALOT of my own political views.

DH still loves me, we just get into more heated political debates now :rofl

We usually agree on political/religion subjects

Were both Republicans, but we debate all the time. We enjoy debating, a good clean debate that is. Everything from religion, to politics to laundry soap :giggle

DH is way more conservative than I. However we both are pretty liberal, if that makes sense!

We believe in the same things.

It is funny you wrote this because I just got a letter from DB saying how "different" people think we are. Honestly I view the labels as what you make of them. I am liberal in the sense of human rights to choose in most every aspect. DB is "republican" in a financial sense but not in a human rights sense. The things we dont agree on I find it interesting because it gives us something to talk about. The reason we dont fight is because we are both so amazing about understanding everyone has their own opinion, has a right to it, and isnt "wrong" because they dont agree with you

he's more moderate than i am. i'm more conservative

We're actually both conservative republicans, but I'm a bit mroe liberal then he is(which still isn't very much). So we usually aggree on everything. As far as religion, DH was devoutly religious in HS and all the way up until he went to IRaq-now he won't go back to church and really doubts himself on it. He still won't leave the house though without a bible in his pocket, so that's good!!! I'm a religious person, but I'm kinda wary of organized religion, so we used to argue alot about it. But since he got back from Iraq, he leans more of the same direction as I do.

Adam and I agree on everything when it comes to politics, and the few things we didn't start out agreeing on we ended up agreeing after discussing it. I don't know how to describe us because everyone defines words like conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat, left wing, and ring wing differently.

I think that we are both compassionate social conservative liberals. LOL.

We actually have the same political views, and tend to agree on most things.

I think we have both become more conservative over the past couple of years, he might even be more conservative than I am. Basically though we agree on most every issue and enjoy reading Ann Coulter :giggle

We normally agree.

DB is a moderate conservative and I am a liberal but the things I feel very strongly against in the conservative movement are not things he really agrees with either so we do pretty well. My grandmother is disapointed- she is super conservative and when we started dating the first thing she said was "Good, now you will see things the right way and become a republican." :screwy
