We had some near relationship-ending arguments for awhile. Then the war started to loom and he thought it was a farce. He even marched with me in an anti-war rally before it started.

He now believes the Republican party is completely out of touch. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't like the Dems either, but he will vote for a Dem for POTUS (as long as it's not HRC), and he supports anti-war, pro-fiscal responsibility candidates. He's even voted twice now for our openly-gay Rep from WI who is really liberal. He used to be anti-choice until we started dating. Now he understands the pro-choice side of the issue and realizes that women need access to choice (however, he STRONGLY champions birth control access and education).

He helps me frame my arguments for things better and calls BS when I just start to mouth Dem talking points without a proper understanding of why I'm arguing for it.

His W-loving boss is now engaged to a Dem and I think she is starting to see our way. Between those two, maybe we'll turn her.
