Bush/Cheney and Kerry/Edwards yard signs in same yard.
I was out for my 3 mile run today when I noticed that in one yard there was a Bush/Cheney and Kerry/Edwards yard sign in same yard right next to each other. Looks like this race is pitting husbands vs wives.

2. I saw something like that
I saw a car with both a Kerry/Edwards and a Bush/Cheney stickers on the bumper. It was not a sabotage act either. The car was dirty and so were the stickers. They had both been on the car for some time.

3. Somehow, the spirit of something like that makes me smile.
At least the way I interpret it.

4. Bumper stickers
I saw a car yesterday with a Kerry/Edwards sticker on the left side of the bumper and a */cheney 04 sticker on the right side of the bumper.

I laughed when I when I saw it. I wish I had my camera with me. I would have taken a picture and posted it here.

6. Was that you jogging by my house?
that's my situation at home...These stupid nazi home associations don't allow political signs on the lawn, our lawn mind you. I placed a small Kerry sign on my repig husband's truck. He didn't find it yet.

7. What's it like
to have a republican husband when you're a democrat? Do you argue about it all the time or do you just not bring it up?

8. Me and mine argue all the time.
We called a truce for a while but the boxing gloves are back on - when I got my DU T-shirts!

11. My hubby is a Dem but sometimes sounds like a pub. I don't think I could
live with him if he voted for *.

17. My wife and I talk politics all the time and don't agree
...at least, not always. On social issues, my wife is more liberal-feminist (she's rabid pro-choice, I'm mildly so, but my "whatever" attitude pisses her off), but she is likely to support a Repub in the next governor's race (Carol Keaton Strayhorn, the current Texas Comptroller).

I tend to be more conservative than her (I rated "George H.W. Bush" conservative once in a poll when he was prez even though I've never voted for a Repub prez), but lately I've been leaning more left.

Just to set the record straight, though, we are both pro-Kerry. We have three yard signs on our corner lot; I have a bumper sticker, but she doesn't because her car is the newer one and she doesn't want to be keyed, while I would probably just make up a sign saying "This car was keyed by a compassionate conservative" or something like that.

It is through bantering back and forth with each other that we work out how we feel about certain issues. We don't always agree, but we alwasy love each other.

9. my neighbor has
a sign for each candidate up. No--it is not a "house divided" she is a single gal. She works for the League of Women voters and thinks it is important to encourage people to VOTE (for the candidate of THEIR choice) not for one particular candidate.

(She is a Kerry voter though.) I wonder if other people from "nonpartisan" voter groups are doing this as well?

12. Montagues and Capulets...
My husband and I hold diametrically opposed political views. If we lived in a house, we'd probably have both signs! My inlaws are pro-ForcesOfEvil, while my side of the family is pro-K/E (although only one of us, my dad, is a U.S. citizen who can vote).

13. I know two couples with the same situation...
Each of their spouses for the opposing side. I know I could not live and especially be married to a republican. I don't know how James Carville and Mary Matalin do it cuz I just couldn't.

16. I couldn't either..and I found out that my former
husband who lives in La Jolla, California just loves bush even though he says he's a democrat.

So, now I know basically.. why it was never meant to be.

15. Same thing in my house
Luckily, the subject only turns ugly every four years. The
in-between stuff we can handle. The kids, though, are on MY side
in this because they believe in it, not because I said so. Which is really funny to imagine, actually. Hmmm... The kids believing something because I said so..... :wow:
