Meet Mark. I am a 49 year old truck driver. Divorced, one daughter, 18, looking for a LADY, 45 to 55 years old, no tatoos, no body piercings except ears, but most importantly NOT LIBERAL (lady and not liberal kind of go hand in hand, don't they?).
Mark is just one of the many available lovebirds waiting for you at Hannidate -- Sean Hannity's very own Internet personals.

Lest we forget, Sean Hannity won 'sexiest newsanchor' in 2004 by Playgirl Magazine. (link is probably safe for work and does not go to playgirl) I could've sworn that on many Liberal blogs, they had ads for Liberal Personals. It goes both ways.

Bad news when people start intentionally segregating themselves socially based on political bias, but it's inevitable fallout of believing Hannity, Coulter, Limbaugh, whose stock-in-trade is creating worthless straw-men opponents. It's an inevitable fallout of politics, period. Some people take politics very seriously, to the point of not wanting to asssociate with people outside their affinity group. I've seen it all across the political spectrum. I've seen it based on fashion sense, musical taste, sexuality, race, religion, taste in automobiles etc. We're all guilty of it to some degree. It's a good thing to some degree in that it's nice to meet like-minded people, but if you only meet like minded people, it starts to warp your mind after awhile. I believe it augurs for the continued balkanization of America.

Lest we all get higher than thou on this, in the couple years I spent meeting women on Nerve I came across many an ad that specifically stated "NO REPUBLICANS".

I've seen an unintentionally hilarious banner ad for this site of this woman laughing and saying, "Relax, mom - I've already found a nice conservative guy!" I dunno. Just something about that ad. It really makes you wonder what the mom had just said prior to her bursting out in guffaws. OTOH, what spicynuts said. I know many girls who'd rather puke nails than date a Bush-voter, and it's not a shock to learn the door swings the other way.

I will admit it, I don't want to date a true conservative. It would be nothing but arguments. I just don't use a dating service, finding them all a bit weird. I would rather bump into people at my like-minded events. This dating things works both ways. Dating services for like religions, like styles, etc. is nothing new. Dems and Reps both have bubbas. Please move along...

I'll happily shoot the breeze with a Republican over beers if their good people. It's people who want to remain in a hermetically sealed litlle colony of conservatives/liberals/whites/blacks/gays/straights/punks/deadheads/vegetarians/whatevers that drive me batshit.

EHarmony is actually a Christian dating service, but they don't mention that on TV. Um. I don't know that that's true. It's obviously not a ``normal' dating service -- the ads go on all the time about finding your true love and getting married and finding ``soulmates' other things that imply GIANT COMMITMENT IS WHAT I WANT. Having just taken part of their test, it doesn't look like some sort of SeKRiT FUnDiE thing. The dude who runs it happens to be a well-known evangelical, so they also run separate advertising to that market using the right buzzwords for that market, because they can do so effectively and they're not complete morons. It doesn't seem like they make you sign a doctrinal statement or force you to pray before they'll do principal-components on your questionnaire and match you with someone with similar factors.

A conservative U.S. Army veteran, living on the left coast. I like walks on the beach, Ann Coulter and standing up to outspoken liberal "experts" who claim to know what's going on in Iraq. I love my country, my president, my family and my dog, Fonzie. I'd go back to Iraq in a second but I've suffered a shoulder injury that won't allow me to play G.I Joe anymore. I'm looking for a strong minded conservative woman to take to dinner in a San Francisco restaurant. One who's smart enough to wait until we are served before delighting in the discussion of liberals, their flaws and their feeble attempts to hide them. I'd like to hold out for Ann, but I'm a realist. Though, I could see the two of us having the most delightful conversation: one simple, passionate conservative; one sophisticated, radical conservative...Man, I'd love to have dinner with Ann Coulter! If she's not available, I'd be happy to meet someone who identifies with her political id. Oh, sign me up!

I must confess that I don't date Christians or Republicans. It's just not my scene.

This makes me a little too much like these Hannity people for my own comfort. I'd probably never use a dating service to begin with (except perhaps to see what I'd attract) because it seems like putting yourself up on the auction block like a racehorse or something. And I'd certainly never qualify it by politics or religion. I actually enjoy talking with people whose views, experience and worldview are utterly alien to my own; firstly because I'm always interested in how people acquire their veiwpoints and secondly because it makes me re-examine my own.

A lot of people tend to lose their sense of humor when you start talking about religion. And for me, tend to lose their attractiveness/intelligence too. Unfair, I know, but let's just call it faith-based profiling. An exercise in efficiency. In response to jonmc, I also enjoy talking with people with utterly different viewpoints for the same reason. But not to date. I find there are usually enough problems in relationships and it is not necessary to add on politics/religion clashes. And these differences are often indicative of more basic difference between people anyway, and these differences usually don't make for a very good fit. OK, now all you sane religious and/or conservative types can feel free to bash me.

No, Sangermaine. I suppose I wouldn't reject him out of hand, but I'd expect it to cause some problems for us if we became involved. I know there's more than one kind of Christian, and I respect Christians in general, but there's a lot about the Christian worldview that I disagree with. I don't believe in heaven, hell or sin. I'm pro-choice and pro-gay. Christians and Republicans seem to have a fundamentally different view of human nature than I do. I imagine this would cause relationship tension. I don't know if it's the circles I travel in or the vibes I give off or what, but I always seem to find myself with Buddhist/atheist/vegetarian/pinko guys. I met a really cool guy on an airplane a few years ago. We hit it off, exchanged email addresses. His emails often included funny little NRA slogans. I thought he was just trying to be deeply ironic. The more I got to know him, the more I realized that he was actually quite conservative. He was surprised that I found his politics and faith to be a barrier to us getting together, and for my part, I was surprised that it wasn't more of a problem for him. We're still friends, though the invasion of Iraq put us on pretty bad terms.

apis mellifera, the reason I asked is because what you and rooftop secrets are saying seems to me, and I'm really not trying to be offensive, unreasonably biased. The vast, vast majority of Christians I know (I'm Jewish) are not frothing-at-the-mouth, gay-and-science-hating fundamentalists. It is very possible to be religious and not care what your lover is (my parents, for example, are Catholic and Jewish). I mean, what does believing in Heaven or Hell or sin have to do with anything? Unless they are part of that extremely tiny funamentalist minority, when will these things ever come up? A lot of people tend to lose their sense of humor when you start talking about religion. And for me, tend to lose their attractiveness/intelligence too. Unfair, I know, but let's just call it faith-based profiling. An exercise in efficiency. In response to jonmc, I also enjoy talking with people with utterly different viewpoints for the same reason. But not to date. I find there are usually enough problems in relationships and it is not necessary to add on politics/religion clashes. And these differences are often indicative of more basic difference between people anyway, and these differences usually don't make for a very good fit. Interesting. Let's alter this a bit: A lot of people tend to lose their sense of humor when you start talking about race. And for me, tend to lose their attractiveness/intelligence too. Unfair, I know, but let's just call it race-based profiling. An exercise in efficiency. In response to jonmc, I also enjoy talking with black people with utterly different viewpoints for the same reason. But not to date. I find there are usually enough problems in relationships and it is not necessary to add on racial clashes. And these differences are often indicative of more basic difference between people anyway, and these differences usually don't make for a very good fit. Okay, now I can see why making blanket generalizations about a group is helpful.

well, sangermaine, not to sabotage my own argument, but being conservative is a choice (although many conservatives have reasons and experiences, legitamite or not, which made them what they are) and being black isn't. You're absolutely right, jonmc, but I still think it holds. While, yes, a person does choose to be conservative or religious, I think it is still very unfair to dismiss them because of that. It is perfectly fine to not get along with someone if you deal with them and find them distasteful, but not if you automatically assume they are distasteful without speaking or knowing them just because of a label. In that way, I think it is similar to the racial situation: making a call on someone just based on what they are.

(note: I am not saying that either side should try to imitate the other, just that understanding and respecting motivations and histories goes a long way toward seeking consencus and compromise).

While, yes, a person does choose to be conservative or religious, I think it is still very unfair to dismiss them because of that. I don't. Religion and politics aren't just "attributes" of a person, like the color of their skin or whether their hair is curly. They're basic ideas that shape a large part of one's personality. While wanting someone who will agree with you on every point is a bit much, on the other hand, dating someone whose fundamental view of the world is vastly different is just going to cause problems. Not to mention the quarrels over what to teach any resulting children.

In that way, I think it is similar to the racial situation: making a call on someone just based on what they are. No, see, judging someone on their race or something else equally unrelated to whom the person actually is judging on 'what' they are. Deciding I wouldn't want to date someone based on the fact that they hold religious/political viewpoints contrary/in conflict with mine is judging on 'who' they are, which is perfectly acceptable and expected. Whether someone believes you shouldn't say sorry after you hurt another person or they believe the war in Iraq was justified, I am perfectly justified in discriminating against that person as far as an intimate relationship is concerned based on the incompatibility between our choices and lifestyles. That is to say nothing, of course, about hitting it. That should be implied. Hah.

But if you have a religion -- as opposed to your educated guesses or even beliefs -- it really is supposed to matter, isn't it? Saying it doesn't matter, mean nothing, irrelevant -- that's not how people who believe in heaven and hell, judgment and sin feel. I expect they'd be insulted at your attempt to be on their side.

this might shock and surprise you, but there are men out there who are perfectly capable of saying "no" if they don't feel something's right It's not a matter of "saying no," it's a matter of turning down "yes." your comment says more about you than it does me Perhaps. But it's not saying something entirely bad. Just that sex overules politics.

Or do conservative chicks dig this look? These guys are all single, that says volumes.

jonmc ... this might shock and surprise you, but there are men out there who are perfectly capable of saying "no" if they don't feel something's right Er...from what I can read, jonmc isn't saying that men don't say "no" if "they don't feel something's right", he's saying that men feel sex don't feel political orientation is "something wrong" if the discussion on the table is purely sex with a really attractive female. Rephrased: I wouldn't date a really hard-core Bushie either. Be friends with one, sure, but dating would just turn into a perpetual argument. But have sex with a hottie Bushie? Sure. It's not that I can't say "no", it's that I wouldn't want to say no. Your interpretation of jonmc's comment says more about you than it does jonmc. And my current statement says more about me than it does you.

And my response to you says more about somebody else, I can't remember who. It's all so confusing.

I have different (and often conflicting) views on marriage than most of my penis-laden peers. Because of this, I wouldn't want to construct said marriage with them.

I'm pretty sure what I'm typing right now says a whole lot more about Brad Pitt than it does about potato salad, but I'm not sure why.

from patriotboy: Dear Gary, I saw your Hannidate listing and I think you are the perfect guy for my sister. She is a true red republican; she likes NASCAR; and she is a smoker. She's always dreamed about seeing the USA while smoking in a truck with a camper. She has had high moral values for a week. Before that, she was a prostitute. Last Friday, she found Jesus and put her mistakes behind her. She's been jobless since she gave up hooking, but she begins her new career as a White House reporter on Monday.

For that matter, think of James Carville and Mary Matalin. They disagree, but love each other. Bullshit! They both believe that power for it's own sake, achieved by any means possible is the highest ideal. They're a couple of whores who sell themselves to the highest bidder.

I sorta dated a conservative Mormon for awhile. He couldn't deal with gay stuff well, so we split. He's married to a woman now and seems happy. I'm married to a European liberal and estatic. All this teaches us liberals one valuable lesson: Fuck the damn conservatives, marry a liberal!
