One of my best friends is a hard-core tax hating republican from Dublin Ireland living in New Hamphsire. He gave me a "Bill O'Reilly" book for my birthday one year. I put it on my shelf then donated it later. Sorry bud!!!
I adore him but I hate his politics. We just don't talk about them much. We have much more that we do agree on and easily discuss/debate.
We try to change each others mind or inform each other regarding politics when we discuss the topic and while neither one of us have truly budged, we have found more common ground over the years than we expected. I recently found out he is against the death penalty but "I assumed" he was for it. Phew, good thing we talked.
People can like each other for all sorts of reasons. They can even marry each other. Not that I expect Russell and Rick to marry anytime soon. ;)
