The close ones are.
How do people rate your answer a bad answer when you are just stating a fact? Does it really upset them that my friends think like I do?

Absolutely not. I am the centrist of all of them, believing as I do that both the Republican and Democratic parties are sellouts to their special interest campaign contributors. I vote Republican, Democratic, Independent, Libertarian, and occasionally Green, depending on the issue and the candidate. I am not into voting as the member of some club that acts like a religion, thinking that all political issues can be resolved by voting the party line. In fact I have recently gotten on the bandwagon of voting all incumbents out of office, because that is the only way Americans are going to dissolve the power bloc.

Not a chance.
I just got married, and had 4 groomsmen.
1 is crying because Milton Friedman just died. 1 describes himself as a Maoist. 1 is a self described 'Dixiecrat'. And the last is a drunk. Well I guess he's a New York City cocktail party Democrat.
1 voted for Bush
1 voted for Kerry
1 voted for Nader
1 was too hungover on election day.

No. Actually some of my closest friends are democrats. While we come from different sides of the political spectrum, we agree on some things and disagree on several others. However we can agree to disagree and still be friends.

No. I'm middle of the road Libertarian. I have some far right Republican friends and I have some far left Democrat friends. Usually two people can find something in common to enjoy together. There's no reason that someone else's beliefs need to fall directly in line with yours.

It relies upon whether or no longer they escalated issues by way of fact of my political association. this is, in the event that they chosen to break me in some way by way of fact of it. and specific, i've got had to ditch any such buddy and specific he's sorry. nicely he grew to become into sorry whilst it got here time to pay the piper besides once I found out. issues have been given actual uncomfortable for him.

No. Though my best friend and I are both democrats, I also have independent and republican friends. There is only one republican that I can talk about politics to, the others just spew the rhetoric they hear on fox and talk radio so I avoid talking politics to them altogether.

The political association of my friends is never a concern to me. I have a few Conservative friends, yes.

Not at all. I count a broad range of poltical views among my friends and family, ranging from radical left wing, to conservative. I'm not really sure what qualifies as right wing conservatism, so maybe some people, including myself, are right wing, but I think I'm fairly main stream.

No. And amazingly enough we can have political discussions where we disagree strongly and still manage to walk away without taking it personally and remain friends.
