Almost one year ago I did a diary about whether democrats would willingly have
sex with republicans. Given the events of the past month or so and the new "outness" of many a republican, I'm wondering if anything has changed.
There was a poll and the results of the 610 people who took a moment to click was as follows:
Would you have sex with a republican?
Yes--it doesn't matter who they vote for
9%
No--never, ever, never
30%
Maybe--but only if he or she is hot
30%
I married one
2%
I'm engaged to one
0%
I married one but we divorced over political issues
1%
I'll have sex with anything that moves
9%
I don't discuss politics when it comes to sex
4%
Sex???
10%
Here's the original diary with some slight changes since it was originally posted in November 2005.:
Would you have sex with a republican?
Well?
Would you?
What if it was only a hook-up?
A while back the NY Times had an article about the sex lives of NYers. The best part of it was a poll. They asked Dems if they would have sex with a republican and if I recall, about 20% said yes. On the other hand, they asked republicans if they would have sex with a democrat and many more said yes. I guess they are bit less choosy or are more willing to fuck anything that moves. I will hedge towards the latter.
Unfortunately, I can't find the article though was sure I had stashed it away for some opportune moment. And gosh darn it, that moment is now.
Thankfully, my memory is halfway decent despite all the abuse that I have punished my brain with over the years.
There's at least 147 more words below the fold, I promise.
While I live in NJ--generally a good blue state--I happen to live in the reddest county of them all - Ferguson won here for goodness sakes but I am confident Linda Stender may paint the district blue once again.
The odd part is that I don't know anyone who actually admits to being republican. Maybe the world I live in is sheltered--and I do have suspicions that a new guy hired where I freelance is a closet republican but given his surroundings, he'll get outed on it soon enough if he is.
I'm sure I encounter them in the merchants I patronize, and I'm sure some of the people I strike up stupid conversations with in the grocery store are reds.
Given that, I consider it damn near miraculous that I've managed to have two long term relationships over the years I've been here. The second one I hope to marry one day and am confident we will be able to do it in NJ when we get same gender marriage here(still hoping despite the court decision last week).
Thankfully, the time spent dating between the two has never led to me encountering a republican lesbian. Simply writing that gives me the heeby-geebies. Even when I've live in other republican strongholds, I never knew many republicans.
Which brings me back to my point.
Would you have sex with, date, or marry a republican
So, like, do the poll results still stand?
