But my experience is the opposite of what you describe. Although I'm a Republican, I was routinely labeled a liberal, "lib", "Dem", RINO, and all sorts of other names just because I wasn't hard over all the way into right-wing extremism.

Yeah, that I would imagine as he and I had our run ins also...but that's back more than a few years

I mean, slathering oil all over your partner is one thing, but when it comes in crude form washing ashore it just isn't as much of a turn on ...
