No.
Either you are an advocate for the legislation of fair consumption of avocados on Friday afternoons like me, or you can forget about us being friends.
by Ms.A on October 6th, 2008
Of course.But you do know that your choices will reflect the quality of your birthday gift ;)
by Babycakes on October 6th, 2008
I think we are mature enough to stay friends no matter what we disagree on:)
by trouble... on October 6th, 2008
ABsolutely! :)
by Done. never again. on October 6th, 2008
Sure...even though I haven't told mine.
by TAPriceCTR s son is wearing his COAT on October 6th, 2008
sure, as long as you have a logical reason for your stand. I do not trust people who think with their emotions.
by Taciturnu on October 6th, 2008
Of course. As long as we can agree to disagree. :)
by Anonymous on October 6th, 2008
Absolutely. As long as you can respect my views just like I respect yours we're golden.
by DreAnna on October 6th, 2008
Of course we are :)
by Koz - Passion Perseverance Patience on October 6th, 2008
It don't matter to me. As for our friendship, I'll have you as your are.
by Frankster PartyMaestro Of Sillyville on October 6th, 2008
Hell Ya;)!!
by Blackope-Knowledge is Power on October 6th, 2008
Our friendship is based on mutual respect not on mutual agreement. I think real friends accept each others differing view points, that is what makes them friends. We would continue to be best of friends with a difference of political views.
by Sixty B - Commander Topcoat on October 6th, 2008
Even better friends, if you are honest; stand by your choices; and respect my point of view.
by Little Miss Dangerous on October 6th, 2008
Absolutely. I respect everyone's right to their own opinion, even when we disagree.
by Anonymous on October 6th, 2008
What? Are you telling me that you and Sixty are not a good choice??? PFFT!!!
[throwing down the gauntlet]
by Vampyre Bat on October 6th, 2008
I never base friendships on politics. There is more to a person than their politics.
by Jen says hi - xx on October 6th, 2008
yep.. definately..
why should political choices come between friendships??
by Yarnlady is happy every day on October 6th, 2008
On answerbag, I don't choose friends based on their political or religious choices. If an AB friend has a difference of opinion with me and we can discuss our points of view in responsible language, they will remain my friend.
by Stillme FBB on October 18th, 2008
If we aren't, we never really were!
Nothing nor anyone can come between us,
that is,except us!
Not a man, money, ice cream, gossip, NOTHING!:):):):)
by Squirrel Face on October 17th, 2008
Sure. I have several friends that are die hard Republicans and supporters of Bush. We just decide to respect eachothers opinions and move on. =)
by Bsweet. on October 7th, 2008
yes i will always be your friend.:)
by Ruby Doomsday on October 6th, 2008
Sure. If you can respect my right to an opinion, certainly I can extend you the same courtesy.
by TERRYTUKER on October 6th, 2008
man politics suck, ive lost two AB friends in the last week
by Designer4theking...loves her kitties on October 6th, 2008
Sure Sweet T, Even friends disagree. We have to all agree to respect the opinions of others. I like to learn new things all the time. We all have our own convictions on who we are voting for . But it is nice to hear why other like certain candidates. Chow for now, D.
by ALPHAMALE on October 6th, 2008
Of course we are,
Um, who are you for?
Just kidding...
by Nasiswand on October 6th, 2008
I wouldn't stop being friends with someone just because of something like that. If I did, that would make me a bad person IMO.
by JuJubee is wearing a COAT of chocolate on October 6th, 2008
I certainly hope so!!
by Simply99 -- Not a fan favorite. on October 6th, 2008
No reason not to be. Most choose not to be friends with a guy like me because my views are a little more, shall we say, out from center field. No matter, their choice.
by malevolentbutticklis on October 6th, 2008
I don't know ... how are you going to make it up to me?
by Leah on January 19th, 2009
yes, i am the only libral out of my group of freinds, u can have diffrent veiws as long as when politcs come up stick with the subject to not say anything out of contact
by Anonymous on October 19th, 2008
Absolutely (((RAAR)))
by Nasiswand on October 17th, 2008
Yes. I think that the different politicians appeal to different kinds of people. You can't vote right or wrong, you can only vote for what's right for you and your family. I would think a millionaire voting for my candidate would be silly, since he is going to raise their taxes so much. He's great for my family, but that doesn't mean he's the best choice for everyone.
by buster on October 17th, 2008
always.
by dead leaves raked in a pile on October 17th, 2008
Well that all depends. Are we still friends if I don't agree with yours?
by ENigma on October 17th, 2008
Of course. We'll have great times agreeing to disagree.
by sm00z on October 16th, 2008
I'm too well-rounded intellectually to let a little difference in politics distance me from my friends.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on October 7th, 2008
Soitenly m'dear..soitenly. Disagreement is good for the brains..it revs up the juices. As long as we maintain a friendly civility, respect and are polite..no name-calling..then we can be friends forever! :) Happy Tuesday! :) ((hugs))
by Trisha Had her baby on October 6th, 2008
Of course. You have a right to what you like and i have my right. We just know what not to discuss. lol I don't have a party tho. And i don't know yours, but yeah still friends.
by IAM on October 6th, 2008
Of course !!!!!
by Possum on October 6th, 2008
Of course. You have the right to be an uninformed, misguided imbicle.
by John John on October 6th, 2008
Im the only independent in my family and friends. All the rest are republicans. I wouldnt give up my family or friends for anything. Is your idealogy that important to you that you would only surround yourself with people who share the same? Thats ridiculous.
My friends and family come first. End of story.
by Melissa on October 6th, 2008
Provided you don't bad mouth me for my choice, make fun of me, act like a jerk when the subject comes up, close your ears if I happen to make a good point, or basically act like a "friend" I used to have, who did all of these things and thought I should "get over it" because we were "friends." Am I bitter, do you think?
by BigDaddyBS on October 6th, 2008
Only if you don't DR me!
(My WIFE doesn't agree with my "political choice" as I don't hers... I still love her!) ;-)
by MizzouMom on October 6th, 2008
Of course!
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on October 6th, 2008
Of course! I have a few friends who don't share my political views.
by meami1234 on October 6th, 2008
Depends how far off of my views yours were.
If you were a conservative republican, or a Nazi communist, then no, we are not friends.
If you are a socialist democratic, then yes, we are friends.
Mainly because these two views entail entirely different life morals and choices. I would not agree with your choice to privatise hospitals because it is a service for the public, paid for by the public, and we would get into some head-tearing debates if that were your view.
However, if you are a monarchist it doesn't make a lick of difference because monarchy's just don't bother me when they are connected to a political system.
And if we had slightly different opinions, it would be good - most of my mates do.
But remember - I give a flying hoot about politics and I take it somewhat personally, because I believe my government works for me (I live in a democracy, which, at least theoretically, encompasses that idea). Some people don't give a hoot, some people would rather talk about the next blockbuster hit. I wouldn't. So, assuming the political position of another forms the basis of a friendship, depending on how much you gave a hoot about your political position, we may or may not be friends.
Anyway I hope that answers your question.
by Scifisuz on October 27th, 2009
Yup, if we still have enough in common as well as shared respect for each other...we are still friends. We just won't talk about your political "priorities."
by Dog Chaser on August 23rd, 2009
Yep.....if you are my firend there is more to our relationship than politics
by Nightwatchdog on August 10th, 2009
Why the hell not.......
by The Red Queelon on August 5th, 2009
Yes. Friendship cannot be broken up by political beliefs.
