My mom never discusses it, she doesn't vote. I don't get a chance to see my dad much, I am sure he doesn't vote either. My brothers don't pay attention to politics, so I am guessing they don't vote either. So, I geuss I am the white sheep in the family. LOL.
I am very sure everyone on hubbys side of the family votes, I have just been lucky enough to miss any of those conversations. I have a feeling they are republican, but only on economic issues, while my decided factor is abortion.
My husband agrees with me on most things, but he only watches local news, and in my opinion doesn't know much about politics. He never votes. I really wish he would, because I know he would vote the same as me.
The only person I have ever gotten into debates with, is my aunt that lives in MN. She is very liberal. She used to get very upset with me, but now understands my veiw(still voting Obama though) and doesn't bug me about it. She has asked me if I knew my mothers standing, and I told her she doesn't vote. I told her that if she did, it would probalby be McCain. So my aunt is now glad that my mother doesn't vote.

Dh and I agree and we pretty much have the same views as my parents, but I think my parents may be even more liberal than me (on issues like immigration, my Mom is a member of the UFW) They raised us to listen to and research all sides, even if we don't agree, and that politics are not something you should be aptahetic about. Dh is a NPR junkie, he listens to it on his commute and tends to be very well informed.

Dh's mom is more conservative than us, definitely a moderate democrat with is financially conservative, but we can talk politics with her. She is very well informed and open to discussion. She has really made me think about my views and even opened my mind about certain. Dh's sister is very conservative and dh's brother is very uninformed. I don't think his wife votes, they don't watch any news or read any newspapers. They get their info from the overblown media reports that are impossible to miss. So, we never talk politics with them, but that's okay, there are better things to talk about when we see them.

My parents and I--NO! They are very conservative Christians who always vote republican (I have to have a chuckle when they maintain, "we haven't decided who we're voting for this year"--yeah, right! "R"!) b/c they're voting on ONE issue--abortion. I would fall over dead if I knew that my mom or dad voted anything other than republican.

Dh and I--skewed, but we line up a heck of a lot closer than my parents and I. He's more conservative, but not by too much. We don't fight over anything, but politics tend to depress him after a certain point. And he doesn't like hearing or talking about politics on Sundays. It's like a form of blasphemy! lol

My mother and I usually agree with each other, but it's a moot point with my mom since she's not a citizen and can't vote. I rarely agree with my dad, mainly because he has a bad habit of listening to rumors about candidates and doesn't try to get his facts straight. Because of this, I try not to have political discussions with my dad because some of his claims are outrageous. My dh and I usually agree, but we're not on the same page this election year.

~Happiness is a large family~

The situation in my family has improved (I think) a TON since we married 5 years ago. I was raised pretty liberal, although I am laidback and open minded and don't go along party lines. My husband was just the opposite and used to Fight with my sister and SIL about things. Now he's become much more liberal, although I still prefer he not discuss some things with my sister. My husband and I agree on most issues.

My inlaws are another matter. His parents are ridiculously biased and closed minded and it bugs me. His dad loves to talk about it, and I always change the subject. I've been pleased this year that his brother is examining the political situation with fairness and interest, though. I thought he'd be more set in his ways.

You've got another member...lol. I am the most liberal of my family too

My dh and I agree with many issues but some we just don't. My mom and I also have a lot in common but she is way to the right of the party where I am about as far from the right while still being conservative as possible. Not really sure about my dad or siblings as they don't talk politics much.

Dh and I agree on 90% of topics---we do tend to veiw the majority of topics in the middle---all parents agree on political topics---belive it or not--but that is about all they agree on. We can talk politics with each other/family, but I tend to shy away from discussing it with friends because it is just not worth seeing people get upset one way or another.
