Fuck. I think he's a republican.

[crim son]

How the hell is that going to work? He says he doesn't ever want to talk politics but now I'm afraid that he actually admires the shrub.

Fancy that, he just called and we had a "discussion." Fuck, fuck, fuck. At least he's not a homophobe. That would be awkward. But people: he things Limbaugh is a moron, but Glenn Beck's heart is in the right place. He also thinks we can work this out.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

[RetroLounge]

1. sorry

walk away...

[crim son]

2. I know.

I'm actually shedding a couple of tears.

[taterguy]

3. Only one way to find out

Do the deed with him.

Since we all know that only Democrats are decent lovers.

[av8rdave]

5. Of course! Ever had a good piece of elephant?

[crim son]

14. I've told him there will be none of that!

But if it's the only way to find out... :evilgrin:

[GalleryGod]

Not even funny.

W.A.F. (wasting a f#$k) on a dude who thinks Glenn A$$wipe BECK's heart is in the "right" place ?

I'm glad you were 110% Kidding & sarcastic and did not mean this !

[crim son]

25. Every time I look at him

I think I'm going to faint with lust. That, I'm not kidding about and it has nothing to do with how he looks. Goddamn chemistry.

[Maine-ah]

83. crim son

that is how I have always thought about my husband. Give it a chance. My hubbie wasn't really into politics until W was elected, and he supported the war in Iraq too! I got him singing a different tune though!

If the sex isn't good, the relationship won't work....jmho

[BarenakedLady]

4. Gah

Run, Lola, run!

[crim son]

16. Since I posted this, he's called twice to tell me that it's not a

straightforward issue, that he thinks Bush is a moron and that he votes all over the place. For example, he likes our Democratic governer and supports his state-funded insurance program. Hmmmm. He's really trying.

Did I mention, "Fuck!" Hi, BNL :hi:

[GalleryGod]

20. Total 110% GOP Smokescreen Bullshit.

"Turtle makes the call to 4-1-1 Crim to RUN!!!!"

[crim son]

23. LOL.

How about this: I have dinner with him on Friday and I grill the shit out of him? I mean, I ask him in detail where he stands on all the issues. I'm a fiscal conservative and that's one reason why I hate repukes. He's a fiscal conservative and so he doesn't care for democrats. He's deluded there. If I show him the statistics, he will be capable of interpreting them.

[GalleryGod]

27. Jeb sez: Forget it!

[crim son]

30. I'm dying here.

:rofl: Stop it!

[Elidor]

100. A grilling sounds like an open-minded thing to do

But beware, lest you think you can "fix" him. Some divides are too deep for lasting happiness.

Check his laughter: does he laugh a lot, and does he laugh at genuinely funny things? If you share a sense of humor, all things are possible.

/god, I sound like a horoscope. Just be careful. I feel sympathetic nervousness now, as if *I* was going out on a date.

[av8rdave]

6. Tell him you miss President Clinton

His reaction will tell you all you need to know.

[crim son]

17. I'm afraid.

:scared:

[GalleryGod]

29. You Pilots have got the Penultimate Short Cut to Everything !

Tell you think Hillary would make a "Helluva CINC",too

[av8rdave]

102. That would work better than missing President Clinton!

[bettyellen]

108. um, GG, you know penultimate actually means... the one preceding the ultimate

or almost ultimate? LOL.... I know, it's actually an almost useless word, so I had to share. LOL.

26. You know, you remind me an awful lot of him.

I'm not kidding!

[GalleryGod]

36. OOOooo,Goody! Does that = Crimson Lust in my direction?

When I was dating Ursula Andress back in the late 50's...


Ah...never mind!

[crim son]

39. I've seen that pic of you before.

He thinks like you do: all over the place and with great wit.

[crim son]

18. Dupe!

grrr...

[Z_I_Peevey]

8. That just sucks.

So sorry.

[crim son]

19. Well shit.

I am too!

[ThomCat]

9. That is difficult.

If he's open minded then you might be able to gradually bring him over to the left. But do you really want to do that much work to wake up his common sense and empathy?

[crim son]

22. This is the thing, Thom:

I wouldn't be even mildly interested in him were he not incredibly down to earth, thoughtful (as in, he thinks) and kind not only to me but to everybody. He cares about people and not things, you know? So, maybe it wouldn't be too much work. He reads: I need to debunk some of his beliefs. Oh I dunno. :cry:

[ThomCat]

38. Please take it for what it's worth.

Invest in this relationship slowly so that you'll know what you're getting. But it sounds like it's worth giving a chance.

:hug:
I hope it works. I'd love to see infatuated, silly-happy posts from you. :)

[cwydro]

10. My parents NEVER

agree on politics (actually the Shrub obscenity is the first time they HAVE agreed) and hey, they've been married for 50 plus years. Just take it slow.

[crim son]

28. My parents are the same!

Mom's a Dem and Dad's a repuke of the "Reagan" variety. They just don't talk politics, ever. Forty-four years for them and they are still in love.

[cwydro]

50. Lol Crimmie

because when you posted that pic of your dad, he reminded me of a neighbor and close family friend (an orthopedic surgeon, who also set a lot of my young reckless bones). A perfectly wonderful man and probably a Republican. And I wondered when I saw your post if your family was (or had) a republican, lol, like mine. My dad was like that for so long. But lordie, he hates the hell out of Bush and Co. now.

[GenDem]

11. That's not good

Some people can do it, but, for me, that would be a toughy.

Maybe he's a moderate, and can be worked on.

[crim son]

32. He's got to be a moderate.

Otherwise he'd smell bad and he smells quite nice. :P

[Lyric]

12. That definitely stinks. I'm sorry crim son :(

It's always hard when you get blindsided by an unexpected Republican. But honestly, even if he was a Democrat, you'd probably still have had to ditch him. When a man says he "doesn't ever want to talk politics" to a lady who's one of the belles of the most awesome political website out there...well, I'd say that'd probably an indication of some mismatched priorities. :(

[crim son]

33. Oh, you're so sweet.

Since I've posted the OP he's called back twice to talk politics. Did I mention that he grows flowers and loves the symphony? Damn.

[Lyric]

40. Double damn with a one-and-a-half twist.

Hell, try to convert him! Maybe if he's not too passionate about his political beliefs, he'd be open to change? Some people are default Republicans because they've never really heard our side of things. It's worth a shot, at any rate. :hug:

[Tyler Durden]

13. I always listed LIBERAL 1st when I was doing personals....

Deborah picked up on that FIRST. 7 years and counting.

[crim son]

34. If it comes to the personals stage I will do the same.

I met him while out last summer and couldn't stop looking at him (and he's not what you'd call handsome... pheromones or something). I haven't dared ask until now about the politics because I was afraid of the answer and rightly so.

Seven years, huh? I'm happy for you. :hug:

[Tyler Durden]

44. Had 3 years of HELL and 6 of single parenting before she showed up.

Nice relief I have to tell you.

I only wish you the same (the 7 good, not the rest!)

[GalleryGod]

15. Lisa? Listen Up ! IT. WON'T.

The Chicks vote, "No"

[crim son]

35. Don't you bring the Chicks into this.

That's a test. I'm going to see what he thinks about the Chicks because if he has half a brain it should be a non-issue, right?

[GalleryGod]

42. Yes, Girl! Indeed! DO the "Chicks Test " !

It's like a Rorschach for Repubs

Cat Stevens - The Wind Lyrics


I listen to the wind
to the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up well I think,
only God really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
But never, never never never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never

I listen to my words but
they fall far below
I let my music take me where
my heart wants to go
I swam upon the devil's lake
But never, never never never
I'll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never


:beer:

[Squatch]

31. It works for the Schwarzeneggers.

:D

[crim son]

41. Good point!

I like that, because I like him.

[JoDog]

49. Give it a chance

You never can tell. Personally, I like to debate, and it's no fun to debate with someone who agrees with you on everything.

And there's different stripes of Republicans. I went out with a neo-Goldwater Repub. (socially moderate, fiscally conservative) for a while, and it was one of the better relationships I had. Until we both had to move for work, effectively ending it.

47. My Brother, A Prof at Santa Monica College, sez:

46. To me, a deal-breaker.

Just say no.

[Aristus]

52. Oh crim son, listen to me, darling. Forget his chemistry, for Pete's sake!

Do you know how many women out there in bad relationships justify staying with him because he's got chemistry (is cute, handsome, rich, good in bed, "doesn't really mean it; he loves me. REALLY!" etc., etc.)

Listen to me. I am a man (no, really. And stop that snickering!) and as a man, I can tell you this guy is bad news. Plus, he's a Republican. Don't ignore the warning signs.

Get out now!

And remember, we love you. :grouphug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. ..

good point, i am inherently wary of charming people.

[Evoman]

57. Your wary of yourself?

Tough life ;)

59. i am not very charming though, i am pretty brusque.

:P

[Evoman]

61. My dear, in a world filled with slimy liars, brusque is charming and refreshing

[La Lioness Priyanka]

62. thanks evoman.

thats the best thing anyone has said to me all day (i mean beside my gf)

[Evoman]

60. Lol...chemistry....its totally not real.

Chemistry is what people say to justify being seduced. You'd be surprised what a logical, and reason based activity seduction is.....

[MorningGlow]

54. Don't give up on him just yet

Would you believe my DH is a Repub? 'S true. Nine happy years (10 if you count from the handfasting ceremony a year and a day before the legal ceremony). Yeah, it can be a pain, and we are wont to argue politics vehemently until we both give up because neither one is about to flip to the other side, but we were Meant To Be, so we get around it, even with me a hardcore liberal pagan tree-huggin' spell-castin' conspiracy-theory-believin' moonbat. (No, he doesn't call me that! :) "Commie-lib" maybe, but in a loving way.)

It CAN happen--and you can teach him a lot along the way. Just go slowly and see what happens.

:hug:

[graywarrior]

55. You can change him.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha
:rofl:

[Omphaloskepsis]

56. Didn't you just meet the guy...

Having doubts a few days into the relationship is a bad sign. I say if it doesn't feel like you are swimming in a pool of flowers for a couple of months you should get the fuck out.

[crim son]

63. I met him last year and keep meeting him.

I've been interested in him from the first glimpse but was in no way fit for a relationship so I told him I wasn't ready. Then I saw him again two weeks ago and decided to take the plunge, so to speak.

You, lover of Walker, T.R., should understand perverse attraction! :P

[Omphaloskepsis]

66. Fuck, I knew that was going to haunt me..

You are a grown up, you know what is best for you. Do what you feel is right.

In the eyes of a ranger,
The unsuspecting stranger,
Had better know the truth of wrong from right,

'Cause the eyes of a ranger are upon you,
Any wrong you do, he's gonna see,

When you're in Texas, look behind you,

'Cause that's where the rangers gonna be.

[unpossibles]

58. he may not be a puke or claim to be one (they're all libertarian now...)

but if he likes Glenn Beck, that is a problem. I had a friend tell me he likes Beck and O'Reilly and it's made me seriously reconsider how smart the guy is. Seriously. I still consider him a friend, and he is known for bad decision making, but... sorry. Anyone who falls for that crap might not be reliable in the long run.

Don't run away yet, but give him some solid tests, like mentioning the Dixie Chicks and Clinton (if he chokes, walk away), global warming, etc. Don't make it an obvious test though - try just slipping things into conversation and see how he reacts. Keep in mind that I know lefties who don't care for Clinton or the Chicks, but if he gets all assed up, you know he's a conservobot.

[Sequoia]

64. How did that "show up at the bar to piss my ex off " work out?

That you mentioned about a week or two ago. Been out of the loop I guess.

[GalleryGod]

68. We had to cancel at the last minute ?!

[crim son]

70. I was never going to do it!!!

Plus, he's not scheduled. I think he was lying about getting the gig.

[crim son]

69. That was a joke.

Yes, in theory the guy is going to play down at the Dog (though the online schedule of performers disputes his claim) but I was never in fact going to go and try to catch his attention. I mentioned this in the thread but you probably didn't read the whole thing (and why should you, no worries). Now I've met this other person who has my mind occupied one one or two levels which is very good therapy w/respect to the ex. Ya know? ;)

[Sequoia]

87. Good luck.

However, your stunt reminded me of something a buddy of mine once did; and with good results I might add. Her ex's jaw was on the table from all the guys clusered around her.

[catmandu57]

65. You should know that a guy will say anything

he thinks will get him into someones pants, especially a babe such as yourself.

[crim son]

72. He did say I was Babe-a-licious!

:P

[GalleryGod]

77. Sounds like we can't stop you, Lisa. So...Vaya Con Dios!

Me & The Boys'll be waiting...no matter what happens.

[Kat45]

84. I'd be leery of amy guy who used the word "babe-a-licious"

[crim son]

88. So would I, if he were unaware of how ridiculous it is.

He was aware!

75. El Gato Speaketh the Truth !

[Madspirit]

71. Usually

I'm totally against cross party dating because you have to share values.
...BUT he doesn't sound totally unredeemable. Grill him more. As someone else said, tell him all about your Clinton love. See how he reacts.
Lee

[crim son]

73. I've received a number of good suggestions and that's one of them.

I am curious how he views Clinton. I know any number of Dems who didn't care for him but what is of interest to me is why? Another thing: he's not religious so one area of potential disaster is therefore avoided.

[Omphaloskepsis]

74. Is the the dating pool this shallow where you live?

Yikes..

[crim son]

82. He and I, we have this agreement (remember, we're OLD)

that if one of us sings off-tune the other will make no negative comment but encourage the self-expression. He want to make a video with his two daughters wearing wigs and doing backup as he sings "I only have eyes for you." He leaves messages on my cellphone so when I wake up in the morning, there he is. He's sending me romantic songs by email and he never makes any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors when he writes to me. He has been a single parent for years and years, and described to me how to properly give an infant its late-night bottle though both his girls are now teenagers.

Omph, I gotta give it a shot while all the while prepared for disaster. I just gotta. :shrug:

[some guy]

96. okay,

I've read this whole thread.

I think if he has been a single parent for what sounds like quite a few years, he may not have a lot of time to be politically involved, so maybe he just kind of follows issues at a surface level, and doesn't know how biased the major media is.

I would counsel ou to proceed cautiously, as you have been, rather than running away. You can always run once you know for certain you need to.

Best wishes :D

:hi:

[Madspirit]

76. He's

He's not religious. He's not a homophobe. He doesn't like Bush. There may really be hope here.

78. Vaya,kid. Outtta here, Like Vladamir !

[SPKrazy]

79. It won't work...

not unless you just want him for his body, then it doesn't matter what his political affiliation is

or on the other hand, he may be a perfectly wonderful person and his views may not conflict with yours at all being an independent.

[wildhorses]

80. eww...gross

:puke:

[Critters2]

81. I know there are people who make these things work

Me, I couldn't do it.

I hope things work out in a way that's good for you.

[mentalsolstice]

85. Here's one way to look at it

Hypothetically, who would you rather date...Lincoln Chafee or Zell Miller (or Joe LIEberman)? Lincoln looks pretty cool compared to the other two!

[SPKrazy]

86. Is that like a forced choice?

:rofl:

[mentalsolstice]

89. Just trying to be encouraging!

:hi:

[Chan790]

90. I've dated a republican.

A real republican, a conservative since birth republican, one of those awful people who think that Ronald Reagan is the greatest president of all time and Whitewater is a bigger scandal than Watergate.

It was interesting. We didn't work...but it had nothing to do with our politics. It had to with everything but. I hated her old-money ways, wastefulness, country-club-set family, the way she'd roll her eyes when I helped homeless people or volunteered at the soup kitchen, her inability to understand that I liked being a literacy activist, my inability to not refer to her senior partner at the corporate-law firm as "Ronald Shitbrains Raygun Hitler" (corporate counsel for the CT RSC...he golfed with her dad and got her the job as said firm...I think they'd slept together too, but I was trying to not imagine that.) in front of him. When we were good though, we were golden. One plus, the "physical chemistry" was awesome. This actually had to do with politics. I can't explain...it's lockbait. Taboo is hot though. That's the gist.

So...I'm going to go out on the limb here...and say it's not as big of a deal as you want to make it. If you want to give it a shot...you just have to set boundaries* and you have to talk to him and hash out what it is he believes. (To compare versus your "can't-accept" list.) Tell him you can tell when he's lying. All men think women can tell when we're lying. He won't be able to lie without being really obvious because he'll be trying to hide the fact he's lying.

* - Before you talk to him. i.e. what can you accept coming out of his mouth and what can't you. It's easier than it sounds. If the most beautiful woman alive (Rachel Weisz**) said "I think the USA Patriot Act is a great idea" or "Fetuses don't choose to be aborted." I'd be immediately repulsed. The things on this list...the very thought of hearing him say them should turn you off.

** - Not only hot, but to my recollection a vocal and unabashed liberal...thankfully.

[SPKrazy]

94. I think you have some good points there Chan!

and since one of my newest dear friends is a Republican, but I don't care because when we're together we have a blast... I'd say that politics is just one part of a person usually. Now if the beliefs that guide their political bent are all pervasive, then that might be a problem.

The fact that he doesn't like Rush Limpballs is a positive.

The beach is taken one inch at a time!

and chemistry that can be incredible when there are opposite ideas, and the idea of crossing taboos is part of it. But you're right, that could easily become lockable stuff.

[S n o w b a l l]

91. The last republican I dated

was a closet cross dresser and got off on wearing baby diapers. I'm not kidding. But, that wasn't even what made it not work. I can somehow deal with sexual fetishes if they're not hypocrits about it. It was the fact that he voted for Bush AGAIN in 04 and was politically clueless.

I wish you luck Crim son. I know I couldn't do it.

[cobalt1999]

92. Doesn't have to be a deal breaker.

Think of it this way, there are hundreds of political issues and thousands of non-political issues out there.

If someone is agreeing with you on every single one, then either they are not thinking or just telling you what you want to hear. Those are the ones to avoid.

If someone disagrees with you on topics but has a good logical argument, then I can respect that. My wife and are polar opposites on some topics, but she can defend her viewpoint. I'd rather date an intelligent person with a few republican views than a liberal who falls in line with my every opinion mindlessly.

Does he think for himself? Does he have some good points? Can he defend his views without anger and does he listen to your points?

[SPKrazy]

93. He just better know what a terrific

catch he's making!

:hug:

otherwise he is a moron... I can forgive politics over love, but I expect to hear reports soon about how he has become a lover of the left and wants to give to the poor and maybe even steal from the rich? :P

just kidding

good luck with it!

;)

[huskerlaw]

95. Ugh.

I had a similar thing happen to me recently.

Was on a 2nd date with a guy, who knew full well that I won't date Bushies.

He sheepishly admitted he was a Republican. But quickly added that though he voted for Bush twice, he greatly regrets it now.

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, for the time being.

UNTIL

He said, "But you know who I really like? Condi Rice!"

I haven't seen him since. Life's too short.

[GalleryGod]

114. God! I suddenly LOVE you, Prof! Whatta Wo-man !!

Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting

I'm through, with doubt,
There's nothing left for me to figure out,
I've paid a price, and i'll keep paying

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

[SPKrazy]

115. Not ready to make nice!

damned good song, think I'll listen to it now that you've reminded me I have it he he he

97. No, no, no, honey, just no.

Glenn Beck's heart is in the right place? That ain't just NO, that's RUN AWAY SCREAMING.
I'm sorry, though, cause you seemed so happy :(

[crim son]

104. I believe I'm going to quote you

but I won't tell him where you live. :P

Actually, I haven't heard a peep from him today. Maybe the argument did him in. :shrug:

[Danger Mouse]

105. You are more than welcome to quote me.

You can throw in an Elrond-approved addendum: 'Glenn Beck? Glenn fucking BECK? Are you kidding me? No, seriously, are you KIDDING me??'

[crim son]

106. Even better

though I'm not sure I can do justice to your King of Disdain posture. I'll sure give it a try! :hi:

[Danger Mouse]

107. King of Disdain, King of Losers, I wear many crowns =D

Good luck.
I wish things could've turned out differently for you. :hug:

[crim son]

110. Meh.

I'm a rock. :hug: At least I can be happy for you. :)

[Danger Mouse]

111. One day I want to be happy for YOU.

And I will be there when that day comes, beloved friend. :hug:

[youthere]

98. Well, I'd suggest finding out where he stands personally on the issues...

if you disagree over smaller issues (for me this is things like trade, gun control etc...)those are issues I believe you can agree to disagree on and actually live happily ever after.
On larger issues (for me this is abortion, gay marriage, the war,separation of church and state, and environmental issues) if you disagree, RUN don't walk away. You cannot build a relationship if your core values don't match up.

I hope you are able to get it worked out.

[crim son]

103. What you say best expresses the way I'm going to proceed.

There's been enough negative feedback here for me to take it seriously, but I'm not going to leave it in the dust without having a few discussions first.

[GalleryGod]

112. Yeah, Sure. That "gun control" is really small.

:sarcasm:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

99. You live in Maine right?

There are a lot of good Republicans in Maine -William Cohen, Olympia Snowe, John McKernan just to name a few. He may be one of them

113. Really? When did Olympia or Susie Q. Collins vote against Bush in the last 6 years

FWIW by the time Bill Cohen retired as Defense Sec'y. he was a defacto conservative Democrat.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

101. Maybe he's just a republican, not a rethuglican...

There's a big difference.

[Fleshdancer]

109. convince him

While my husband wasn't a republican before we met, he WAS politically apathetic. He's not anymore. ;)

121. He's late, the asshole.

I DO NOT like people who are late, and especially not people who are seventeen minutes late. :mad:

[Redstone]

118. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck HIM. And I don't meant that literally. RUN, do not walk away. Many

fish in the sea, and all that. Throw this one back, OK?

123. I'm beginning to think it's not up to me.

A no-show? It wouldn't surprise me, given my history with men these last twenty years. :P

119. Remember: only 1 of 3 are repuke in Maine. You can get a dem or independant.

Heck, I'm sure you can find another with a 'stach too!

[crim son]

125. I neither love nor hate the 'stache!

Honest to gawd, I don't care what the man looks like and never have. Hi mainegreen! :hi:

[mainegreen]

127. Hey! How you doing?

Sold the house yet?
Dealing with the snow? (snicker)
I saw the picture of your 'maybe' man, and he's got that rough but sweet Maine woods look. Not bad! In the end, it depends on what *kind* of republican. Maine still has the old school kind, that actually can be good folk.

You think us DU Mainers should try and have a meetup sometimes? It seems there's a lot of us here. Minus you know who of course. :7
(He's been quite lately too. Strange!)

[crim son]

130. No. We are in the process of switching to a new realtor

and will lower the price $20K which should help, somewhat.

We DU Mainers should definitely, certainly meet up some time, minus you know who - although when you examine your heart, you know you want to at least take a look at him - I think it would be interesting. We have become somewhat more friendly so it won't feel like meeting total strangers, you know?

120. Eight years ago, I would've given different advice ("oh, maybe he's not super

conservative, maybe you can change his mind...") but now, no way. Anybody hasn't completely distanced themselves from the word "Republican" is either drinking the Kool-Aid or really, desperately uninformed. Or both. Either way, that sends up a big red flag in my book.

Did he really say Glenn Beck's heart is in the right place? Good grief! That's like one of those strings of flags draped around used car dealerships, only all red.

Sorry to hear that crim son.

[crim son]

122. If he ever shows up like he said he would

I will ask him to clarify. If he doesn't show up he won't get the chance to explain.

[cwydro]

124. What time is the date?

don't tell me he is late?!

[crim son]

126. He is really, really late.

He was supposed to be here at 7:30. He just called and will be right over but I'm irritated. How are you?

[cwydro]

128. I'm fine.

well at least he called, huh? Reason given? Or no?
Shit does happen I guess.

[GalleryGod]

129. I'm sure you had a great time tonite..but he should've called @ 7:29 pm.

:argh: :nopity: :grr:
