    I was raised in an open minded, politically active family. Even as kids, we got used to, and enjoyed, watching the news and political debates. My folks encouraged discussion and opinions.
    My parents and I supported the same party. My brother registered as an independent but is probably going to change.

    My s/o John and I are on the same page. But what I hate is that he'll be the 1st one to open his big mouth and criticize and complain, and he's never voted. I have no idea what his lame excuse is, he knows my stand on that. I personally think it's a disgrace. People died, suffered, for the right to vote.

    Anyway, this is the most exciting election I can remember (Kennedy vs Nixon). But I can't wait for it to be over. The suspense is too much for me.



    I've been Boooo'd!

    Both me and the hubby tend to agree although we do debate on some issues. Usually it ends up with both of us being a lot more educated.

    Our views are very similar, we often vote the same, but have canceled one another out once or twice It does make for some good adult discussion. We do not miss any opportunity to vote. That is the important thing Our three adult kids are also independent and savvy. The upcoming election is the most interesting so far to me anyway. It could go either way and remain close I think.

    BTW, we generally refer to our leaders by their titles no matter what their party. Namecalling is for the Doghouse.

    Interesting question, Carole

    Not even close. We have radically different views on just about everything in the political realm.

    This is the only political thing Stuart has changed since we got together. Before we met, he'd never voted, but he liked to complain. If you didn't vote, I won't talk politics with you at all ever. He votes now. I suspect we cancel each other out most of the time, but that's ok. The ability to freely cast a ballot is a great privledge and one that should be exercised at every opportunity.

    We vote the same way, but the presidential primaries showed that we did not support the same candidates. We voted in the same party, but for different candidates. Have to say, my candidate won . LOL!! His would have been a great candidate, as well.

    Our thoughts are similar, for sure, and the meat of the issues, we agree. I guess that is why we were attracted to each other to begin with! We both are avid in exercising our rights to vote, first and foremost, even is we don't agree on the candidates.
