Hicksey Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 We discuss it and the party that we believe has the best platform relative to our family situation gets both votes. How do you do it?

newbie Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 We discuss and vote as individuals. Our ideology is the same however. Quote

Hicksey Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Posted January 20, 2006 I was under the impression that CPC'rs wives followed whatever their husbands decided? no? has anyone told Anders? People wonder why the word liberal is an insult to conservatives? It this kind of insulting, discriminatory comments that feed our deep dislike for liberals.

Shakeyhands Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 it was a joke Hicksey... relax a little, hell it was your guy that said it first!!! Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche
I miss Reagan Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 it was a joke Hicksey... relax a little, hell it was your guy that said it first!!! Have to admit Shakey you got a chuckle from me... BTW I think you need to add to your PT quote "Screw the West we'll take the rest" Quote "Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to offer therapy and understanding for our attackers. Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war." -Karl Rove
Hicksey Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Posted January 20, 2006 it was a joke Hicksey... relax a little, hell it was your guy that said it first!!! Noted. But I didn't say that. I said that we decide between us. Its a mutual decision. I respect my wife too much to do that to her.

Melanie_ Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 We discuss politics constantly in my house, so when elections come around everyone has an opinion, including the 10 year old. But we all tend to agree on how to vote (we have three eligible voters now, and one disgruntled teenager who thinks it is vastly unjust that 16 year olds can't vote). Quote For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. Nelson Mandela
betsy Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 We discuss it. We're both pretty much conservative in our views. Quote
kimmy Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 I am not married. However, I tell my cabana-boy and house-wench how to vote. The threat of deportation or reductions to their 2 meals a day keeps them in line. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
fellowtraveller Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Four voters in our household, and so far it is Green, NDP, Conservative and undecided. Quote The government should do something.

The threat of deportation or reductions to their 2 meals a day keeps them in line. lol to answer the original question, my wife and I tend to discuss our views, but vote our own ways when the time comes (might change if we had wee ones).

Guest eureka Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 I beat my wife and daughter but my son is pretty handy in the beating line so I let him be persuaded. Interestingly, they all share my views, though. My daughter this time is voting strategically - Liberal in her riding. I don't believe in strategic voting but it can't do any harm there in a very safe Conservative area. So her beatings have not been too severe. Quote
PocketRocket Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 Recently divorced, but when we were together, we learned pretty early not to discuss politics. I was generally a lot more right-leaning than my ex, surprising as that may sound. She was, alas, one of those who payed little attention to politics until the last minute, then took things at face value. I would not be at all surprised if she's been sucked in by the Lib's attack ads. I believe that she is the type of person the ads are targetted at; the uninformed voter. Quote I need another coffee
cybercoma Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 I don't tell her how to vote, but it made me laugh when she said, "I sure as hell don't want the liberals in again, so I guess I"ll vote for anybody but them." Quote

That was basically what mine said. She was never much interested in politics before. She leans on me for knowledge about campaigns but I think she's coming along well. I'm proud to say she'll be voting for her first time on Monday. Its hard, being the partisan creature I am to give her an unbiased picture, but I do try. I just feed her info as her curiosity demands it so as not to turn her off to politics. For years her official position on politics was "I have no opinion." She still won't let me put a conservative sign on my bumper but she's coming along well. She hates bumper stickers. If I'm driving a Mercedes a bumper sticker don't touch it, but a 1993 Mazda MPV? Why not? Quote "If in passing, you never encounter anything that offends you, you are not living in a free society." - Rt. Hon.
