So I met this cute republican last night

[kiraboo]

while I was out celebrating Cinco de Mayo. We started talking and got along really well. We danced a couple times and he bought me a drink. About two hours into our acquaintance my (male) friend asked him if he was a Democrat. No, he said, I'm a Republican. A WHAT? I said, and asked him to explain how he could possibly support GWB. I shouldn't have. He went crazy! Started yelling and demanding to know, like, why was the shrub being judged for his "one mistake", and how my party had nothing to offer. SOS. Finally he leapt to his feet and stormed off. You know, he was cute!

Well, this morning my phone rang. I didn't answer it, but recognized his voice. He said, "Hello, I'm doing a survey. Do you like George Bush? If you would like to have a conversation about the matter, please call XXX-XXXX." I laughed out loud, because I knew he was sorry about the fight. Am I gonna call him? NO FARKING WAY!

But damn, he was cute! Black hair and brown eyes. Ah...

[TroubleMan]

1. Well....maybe you can convert him.

Just watch out for the Rush withdrawal symptoms.

[fudge stripe cookays]

2. What a fucking moron.

Like a super model. Beautiful, but brainless.

Find a nice gorgeous liberal, sweetie.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

22. hey, Milla is not brainless!

actually, I'm not really sure. She did marry that horrible director. anyway,I just wanted to put her picture up.

[Whoa_Nelly]

3. Good for you re: not calling him back!

He just wants in your pants :evilgrin:

OR

Until he says he's sorry he's a Republican and actully changes his affiliation...well...then that could be a whole 'nother chapter in your life :D

[Ava]

4. NOOOOO! DON'T CALL HIM!

you must resist the cuteness! :rofl:

[Haole Girl]

5. Cute or not

you DEFINITELY made the right decision!

[wildhorses]

6. sounds to me like he has a sense of humor and is humbled

we need all the converts we can get but, be careful be vewy vewy careful when hunting rabbits...know what I mean;)

[dorktv]

7. I know a good liberal who is Polish-Mexican with brown eyes and black hair

[kiraboo]

26. Well if he lives in Maine, have him give me a call!

[dorktv]

47. Darn, he lives in AZ and is a member of the state lege.

[AccessGranted]

8. Feel the Force and Stay Away From the Darkside!

Let's find some balance here....what's more important a guy who's a hottie or his political terptitude? Decisions, decisions! But don't listen to me I'm an agnostic whose significant other is a theology teacher.

[chookie]

9. No James Carville/Mary Matalin thing going?

How those two stand each other is a mystery to me.

Too bad he wasn't one of those Republicans who have turned on Bush -- I know a bunch of those and they are as worked up about him as I am.

The guy has bad judgement, at the very least. Heck -- anyone who supports Bush in 2006 must be barking mad. Best avoided.

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Your phone rang? You gave him your number...

before or after you found out he was a Bushbot?

[johnnie]

11. "one mistake"?

Is that mistake breathing? :shrug:

[amerikat]

12. call him, convert him

take one for the team.

[TroubleMan]

18. LOL....apparently you mean literally and figuratively

nt.

[regnaD kciN]

13. You think you had it bad...?

Here's my story, it's sad but true...

Remember 1972? Nixon versus McGovern? The last gasp for the antiwar movement and traditional liberalism.

I'm a shy, somewhat geeky 16-year-old who's never even had a girlfriend. (To put it mildly, I didn't fit in at the jock-house school I'd attended until then.) I'd also spent much of the spring campaigning for McGovern.

I'm flying home from Europe with my parents. Across the aisle from me, there's this girl. 13 years old. Cute. And smart, funny, all those good things. She notices me reading a chess book, and we wind up spending the rest of the flight playing each other on my pocket chess set. I'm also spending the rest of the flight falling for her. She only mentions her first name, Lizzie.

Anyway, we're about to arrive in Boston, and I don't want to just have her drift out of my life. Being too shy to simply ask her out, or even ask her for her phone number, I decide to try to find out her full name from her luggage tag, so that I could look up her number and call her under the pretext of continuing our last chess game, which we'd never finished. So, as we're all about to get off the plane, she gets her carry-on bag. I get a good look at the name-tag, and only then realize that I've spent the last four hours or so falling for Henry Kissinger's daughter -- a girl whose father is Secretary of State in the Nixon administration (which I consider the very force of darkness itself).

:wow:

Believe it or not, I'm actually able to find her family's phone number in the Boston directory. (I guess they were less concerned in those days about people looking for the ex-wife and kids of someone famous.) But I never call -- it just seems like we're from the proverbial two different worlds. I figure she's probably a conservative like her father, and would want nothing to do with a guy who's spending most of his free time working on a campaign to drive him out of office. And I couldn't imagine myself in a relationship with "the enemy," either.

And, you know what? I was stupid. Because, a couple of years ago, I decided to find out what she was up to. A short Google search revealed that Elizabeth Kissinger, the daughter of the famous statesman, was now a doctor -- and involved in just about every progressive medical and human-rights organization around. A far cry from her father, the champion of conservative realpolitik. Those family reunions ought to be interesting, to put it mildly.

(And, in case you couldn't guess...when I finally did find a girlfriend, the following summer, she turned out to be a Nixon supporter. :shrug: Although, by the time Watergate had drawn to a close, she wasn't one any longer.)

[Tyrone Slothrop]

27. Wow!

That's a pretty crazy story...

[Mutley]

14. I wouldn't call him back either.

Not because he's a Republican, but because he seems kinda crazy screaming like that.

[Heidi]

15. He has a problem with his temper, too. You can't fix that.

Cute doesn't excuse lack of civility. There are many other fish in the sea, and a lot of them are well-behaved liberals. :hi:

[Guava Jelly]

16. If he votes republican

He can't be very smart or observant.
I say don't waste your time.
Politics can tell so much about a person heart.
This guy sounds like he needs deprogrammed.
Sounds like the kool-aide has already been ingested.
I am a staunch liberal Dem and I wouldnt support or apologize for anyone in my party who acted like Dubya.

[NewJeffCT]

17. There are plenty of single Democrats out there

So, I wouldn't waste your time on him.

[xchrom]

19. if he's really cute -- fool around with him.

then dump him.

i hate depriving myself of cuties for play time.

[Zorra]

20. Republicans have serious underlying psychological and

emotional disturbances. They have underdeveloped superegos, and this causes them to live in a shallow, childlike id state where their only concern is for themselves. They completely lack the ability to feel empathy with others, which is why they can support unnecessary wars that kill and maim little babies, and not feel even the slightest flicker of remorse, especially if they profit from the war financially.

Take the pretty wrapping paper off your republican cutie, open the box, and you'll find a writhing nest of snakes waiting to bite you.

[arwalden]

21. Run Away... Run Far Far Away.

I don't see how Mary Matalin and James Carville make their relationship work. They must not talk about politics at home... or the sex must be EXTREMELY good.

[tigereye]

29. um

I think they are a lot alike, other than their political affiliations....

[JVS]

31. Bad mental image!

[Shakespeare]

37. So when she went in to get that hairstyle....

...did she specifically ask for something that would emphasize her ears so much that she resembles fucking dumbo the elephant? Egads...

[undeterred]

23. The devil is sometimes very seductive. Don't fall for it.

Any guy who thinks GWB has only made ONE MISTAKE isn't worth having coffee with.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. besiides liking bush that behavior is irrational

[ecstatic]

25. bingo! the man sounds unstable nt

[kiraboo]

28. I totally agree. I think that his follow-up the next morning

was touching. But his anger was inappropriate and that's the last thing I want in my life (besides a repuke) x(

[leftofthedial]

30. some of them look so lifelike

amazing isn't it?

[kiraboo]

34. LMAO! I shouldn't, though. My dad's a republican, albeit

one who deeply regrets his votes for the shrub. Yes, I said "voteS". Sigh. At least he's repented.

[tjwmason]

32. What was his personality like?

If he's a charming fellow, and is (As you say) cute - then if I were you I wouldn't let his politcs get in the way. But maybe that's just me :shrug:

[kiraboo]

35. Very charming and definitely the most attractive man in the place

that night. He even managed to engage the friend I was with, and who was clearly disapproving (I'm afraid the friend might have a crush on me which I regret)of his attempts to chat me up. One thing, though... he wasn't the best dancer. A little tight, ya know what I mean?

[tjwmason]

38. I'd meet him for a chat - over coffee perhaps.

I've got friends from right across the political spectrum - as long as both sides can respect the other it shouldn't matter.

[tigereye]

33. bang a Republican, what the hey!

(I can't believe I wrote that!) ;)

Actually one of my favorite bf's from high school was a Rep. (I later learned) who desperately wanted to join the CIA. He was crushed when his past drug use ruled that out. He was a great kisser, too.

I guess what I'm saying is that Dems and Reps probably can get along, although in light of this particular administration I can see how it might be difficult.

[kiraboo]

36. I'm laughing, but I'm also 42 years old. Too old to be looking

for a just a bang!

[tigereye]

39. I hear ya

I was just talking like the youngsters. I'm way too old (and married) for that sort of thing, too. :D

[kiraboo]

40. Well, sometimes I WISH I could bring myself to be wild and free

like I was once. But it's not my nature and a very good way to get hurt.

[tigereye]

41. yes, those things are much better in one's head

than in reality.

but that being said, here's a pic of my fantasy crush guy jazz musician ( i found it for another thread, so what the hey.)

[kiraboo]

42. Oh yum. He could be a country musician and he'd still be beautiful!

[tigereye]

46. huh

he is a very clectic composer, I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't some country twang in his future.

[NewJeffCT]

44. If I was single

And had the opportunity for a one night fling with Michelle Malkin, I'd take it... I don't think I could handle a Republican woman for more than 12 hours or so, however. I've always seen her as attractive in the Evil Demonic Temptress sort of way.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

43. I confess I've dated a few republicans

and I may date a few more. Who knows? On the other hand, a guy who cannot keep his cool when discussing politics with someone he is interested in could stand to learn some manners.

[baby_mouse]

45. Tell him you'll date him if he votes Democrat.

Then, after the election, dump him.

:7

[NuttyFluffers]

48. a touch of love and hate makes for some really hot sex, fyi

who says you have to be joined at the hip? well, not joined at the hip forever, at least...
:evilgrin:

his little outburst was disconcerting though. but maybe you can get away with some playful scratching and biting. the bigger the blowhard the more they like to receive it rough. funny that...
