Do you have an active friendship with anyone who opposes your political views?

52. nope

i've a couple of winger relatives, but no friends of that ilk. i recently found out that my maternal grandfather (RIP) whom i loved dearly was a lifelong orange county (ca) republican, as were his children and extended family (excluding my mother).

dad was always a dem, and mom voted like him. dad's gone now too, but mom is still a staunch dem. however, her younger sister, my aunt, is always forwarding nasty emails about obama to her, which she promptly discards without reading. my aunt (and her husband) are Xtian fundies too.
