I am married to a republican. I relate more independent or democrat, but vote more independent. Now my husband is not on the line at all, he is very Republican, involved in politics, and hopes to start running for offices.
We are both passionate on our political stance and this can be a cause for great emotions when we debate politically. All I need to say to get him riled up is, "My vote is going to cancel out your vote." He has wonderful debate skills and can get me in tears about an issue.
It is fair to say he is more educated on issues than I, a lot because this is a major interest of his, his degree is in Social Studies, his masters will be in political studies. I find it hard to argue on issues that he knows a lot about, because I do not have a lot of information to back my feelings up.
We probably sound like dorks, because we are only in our early 20's and we have no problem spending a weekend night wathcing CNN or MSNBC and debating issues.
My Questions: What political parties do you affiliate yourselves with? Are you passionate on your political stance? Does your spouse or significant other have the smae political views? If not, Does this result in many debates or arguments?
