I would have to marry someone without many political leanings or interests or someone who is at least willing to see all sides of an issue. I'd probably we be ok with someone who is a little over the edge to the Left (not too far) but not with a Conservative the same distance from center. If Ann Coulter came on to me, I'd get sick.
My own stance is moderate Democrat.

I would not say it could not be done but people tend to gravitate to persons of similar interests. My Sister is a Dem/Lib and her husband is a NeoCon/Rep and they have been married for over 35 years. But they have other very common interest. They both are very talented musically, they both are intellectuals, they love cats.
In your example you failed to mention any redeeming common interests so I would have to say absent other common interests there likely would be no attraction and no consideration of acquaitance much less marriage.
A much more likely scenario would be two people getting married early in life with similar religious and politcal beliefs and gradually over time of them changing their religious and/or political beliefs. That is much more believable

It depends on how imortant politics and religion are to you. For me, I am a passionate Democrat, so I don't think it's likely that I'll marry a Republican. But if I meet someone that I really love, I would look past her religion and political views.

Marriage is based on love and respect. Respect of others opinions and beliefs. Besides there are certain things you should never talk about at the dinner table, politics and religion.

Yes, and I did and it is all good. I love to hear his ideas and to think about things from that perspective. I am not sure he feels exactly the same about mine, but he always listens and never puts me down with the name calling and silly hate that permeates many of the answers on this site.

No. I couldn't. I can't understand how Mary Matalin and James Carville do it. Either that, or the whole government (Democrats and Republicans) are conspiring against us, and they're the proof.

marriage is sacrificial... ... it's not just the word "you" and "me" anymore..it becomes "us","we". You can't overcome it? you gonna have a tough time later on. For ex... you want ur kids to be an atheist? or avangelist? stuff like that... get pretty complicated, unless you fellas come up with some kind of contract, deal, or compromise.
