Reply #29: To be honest... [View All]

I avoid political discussions with most people until I find out what their views are by chance. Perhaps it's also the case that somewhat I'm non-confrontational. It's difficult, because I'm very interested in politics, but I'm able to do it.

So, is it possible some of my friends are repukes? Yes. Some might lean to the right of me on certain issues (one of my buddies is Catholic, and is a bit uncofortable with abortion and homosexuality). Though, he still dislikes Bush, opposed the war, etc...so either way I still consider him a moderate.

I have one friend that's an evangelical Baptist, but politics is simply something I avoid with him. He's still intelligent, compassionate, and an all around decent person, though he's still a right wing nut (but he's not vocal about it, and he's tolerant enough of my non belief to not mention it)...

I'll say one thing though. It would be tough to be friends with someone that believes Bush is "doing a good job", atleast one that is vocal about it. Those are values quite different from me. It'd be tough for me not to flip out at someone constantly praising Bush.
