My husband says that anyone stupid enough to continue to support President Bush is too stupid to be trusted. He has said, more times than I can remember, that he wants to leave me for that reason as he believes anyone dumb enough to not see through "The @$$clown" (as he calls him,) is just too stupid to not be talked into sex by any other idiot out there.
What should I do about this? It's really starting to bother me.

It is obvious that your husband is HIGHLY INTELLIGENT. You need to listen closely to him.

You know, whenever I first read something like what you've written, a part of me assumes you just must be joking.. But at the same time, I do realize that for many people, politics can be a very heated and intense, and often personal issue... to the point of seperating friends and families. That's so sad...
I'm all for people being passionate about what they believe in, and the same goes for political issues that affect our country. But surely, people have got to realize that not everyone is going to agree with what they feel 100% on every single issue.
The fact that your husband threatens to divorce you because you support our President, really makes me sad for you. It also makes me wonder how he reacts whenever you disagree about anything else..
Personally, I do support our President. While I do not agree with every single decision he makes, I do support him as the leader of our country. Sure, he makes mistakes.. but so does everyone else. He is not the only president that ever did things that he may regret. That doesn't mean that I don't sometimes disagree with what he may say or do.. but I do think he has done some good things, and I believe that he is well intended.
There is no law that says husband and wives must always be on the same page politically.. You will have disagreements from time to time, but for him to take it so seriously as to theraten you with divorce.. is just ridiculous. By that I mean no disrespect towards your husband.. but his logic seems very outragous to me.
I think you and your husband need to have some very serious talks about the way he is acting.. It's not good for your relationship, and it should really be dealt with.
The main thing he needs to understand, is that you don't always have to agree with each other, but you should at least respect the fact that you are both entitled to your own opinions about things.
I wish you the very best. Take care!

Thats a stupid reason to throw divorce in your face but maybe you should let him know his words hurt you and opinons are like assholes everyone has one and agree not to talk about it!! President Bush is not worth ending a marriage!! He has already made enough widows and caused divorce from this war!!! Good Luck!

Well these maters are really hard to get into. My view is that if he is willing to divorce you on this matter, then he really does not love you. He is using MR. Bush as a scapegoat. I would ask him what is he going to do about the other 65 to 75% of the population that are also "IDIOTS" living in the US.
How ever, We all must strive to keep our relationships going forward. I think that for the sake of that you should ignore him and well, just go with it. If he later finds some other form of "Divorce" threat then, Well Know you know.. That he really, just wants that. Hope this helps. Will.

Maybe you and hubby should try keeping the politics out of the bedroom, family room, dinner table and kitchen.
"Agree to Disagree" and find some other topics to engage in.
I happen to like the President too and my husband does not but that subject we very seldom talk about.
Ask your husband to respect you and stop the name calling and threats. And let him know that you respect his opinion and walk away if it's going to be an issue, let it go.

You should get another hobby besides politics. Life is too short to care about stupid things like that. Take up bike-riding and get in shape that way the sex will be 100% better. Then I bet you he won't threaten divorce.

You need to find out what his real problem is concerning you. For whatever the reason he is looking for excuses to do whatever he wants to do. We live in a land of democracy and you have the freedom to vote for the party of your choice. Tell that control freak of a husband of yours that if he wants a divorce because of so simple of a matter, then he obviously is not in the marriage for the long haul anyway. He may be married to you but he can't control your mind or the choices that you make.

who matters more to you Bush or your husband ? And do you care about what your husband believes in to be true? Can you really see his side in this? Even if Bush is a clown, your husband should not talk to you like this!

That's one of the things to look for before you get married. I made sure that we had the same family values and that we can both accept personal responsibility instead of the liberal views...I would tell him to drop it and don't say anything to him about Bush. He'll eventually drop it. If it's so damn important to him, tell him to buck up and be a man and be on your side. What's going to happen with you two next year? Are you two voting for the same party?
If he wants to leave you for that, tell him to go right ahead. It's stupid and pety. Tell him to leave the small stuff alone, it's ruining your marriage!

Tell him that it hurts you when he says that and that since you respect his views he should be able to respect yours. Omg, this is funny to me because during the last elections(the first time i could vote) I made a joke during family dinner that i would be voting republican and my dad went completely off on me and said that if i did i would be shunned from the family. So there you can see that it's not only him who feels that strongly towards Bush

Two things people should avoid talking about are their differing views about politics and religion. If it's brought up again, tell him you don't care about Bush or his political decisions anymore. I don't know of any politician that is worth a fight in your marriage for. There are much more important issues to married life than politics aren't there?
