Depends on how different they are. I'm not much for extremists on either end, but staying in the same room with a left wing extremist would be nearly impossible. I can't say being compared to Hitler in place of actual debate does much for me. As long as the differences were slight enough to hold things to civilized discussions it would be okay.

Her being a Democrat would not prevent me from doing the wild monkey dance with Jennifer Garner, if neither of us were married, of course.

Not a consideration initially, I have more priapic interests. Down the road, maybe, although I'm a pretty accomodating guy, politically, depending on other factors. 

Of course, I'm not interested in a relationship with the female equivalent of MacGowan or convinced...

As long as we can keep our beliefs to ourselves and not get into heated arguements during election time; I don't really care if we have differing views, politically. (I'm not extremely political anyway)

this wouldn't bother me. it would probably make life interesting but you have to be able accept differences in people

As long as you and your partner can debate and not argue and obsess over political differences, it shouldn't be a factor.

Typically wouldn't bother me. Of course if her personal hero is Hitler or Lenin, I'd most likely lose her number.

Different political beliefs mean nothing to me. If you can learn to either a) both shut up about them or b) learn to respect either other's beliefs then you should be fine.

This might not have been a problem for me several years ago, but now it would, because we have a terrible President who is an international bully and cares more about his corporate buddies than he does about the working man. I couldn't be in a relationship with someone whose politics were radically different from mine.

James Carvel and Mary Matalin prove that politics doesn't have to be a deal breaker.

It is a huge turn off for me if a guy is constantly raging about politics to me if we are dating unless we are in a normal discussion about it...

I keep politics out of my dating life, some people are touchy about these topics however. In fact sometimes having different opinions makes things more spicy. I have a friend who once told me that she knew a girl who would never date a Republican for her life. Talk about stereotyping. That's why if a girl ever asks me what party I belong to, I just say I'm an independent to play it safe!!
