Go On a Date with the Political Opposition to Save the World

[You-Gi-Owe]

Here's the game:
Extra-Terrestrial Aliens are holding the world hostage, seeing if there is any hope for humankind's ability to cooperate.
To save the world, YOU have to go on a romantic date with a famous person who's political views are extremely opposite of your own.

1. Identify your political leanings (for the benefit of those that don't know you well).

2. Which politically opposed celebrity might you go out with and why?

3. If the politically opposed celebrity was picked by the Extra-Terrestrial Aliens, who would be the person you'd let the world burn for?

A1. I consider myself "conservative and Republican" or "arch-conservative and Republican.
A2. I could enjoy an evening with Barbara Streisand. Outside of movies, I've never heard her screech. She probably has a very interesting personal history. Maybe I could ask her to sing?
A3. The world could burn if I had to date Jenine Garafolo. I certainly don't share her sense of humor. I hate her voice. Probably the only thing we could agree to is pistols at twenty paces.

Natalie Portman. She's one hot commie bastard.

[Hydesland]

Does that mean people on the centre get off Scot free?

[You-Gi-Owe]

Natalie Portman. She's one hot commie bastard.

That's cool. I wasn't aware of her politics.
So, who would you say, "Fuck it! It's not worth it to save the world!" about?

[Tubbsalot]

Does that mean people on the centre get off Scot free?

You have two choices for your dates: Adolf and Josef.

(I would absolutely choose Adolf!)

[You-Gi-Owe]

Does that mean people on the centre get off Scot free?

Good question. How about if you're centrist, you have to pick from everyone else's "let the world burn" list.

Now would be a bad time to state that I'm not a fan of moustaches.

Madeleine Albright.

*Looks to the right*

Palin....

Coulter....

Limbaugh....

Fuck, the world isn't worth this. D:

Pol Pot then?

Cute. Isn't there ONE conservative you'd go out with?

Wait, how can you go out with a male and female.

Some of the folks here swing both ways, obviously.

[Nadkor]

There's one fairly hot guy I know who's a Tory, so I suppose it would have to be him.

[Rhodmhire]

1. Identify your political leanings (for the benefit of those that don't know you well).

-Non-modern Conservative
-Moderate Conservative
-Conservative-Libertarian
-Libertarian

That range, I'm considered rarely anything outside that range. The first one is my own made up term, because I don't know the correct term, and just saying "Conservative" will cause me to explain it.

2. Which politically opposed celebrity might you go out with and why?

George W. Bush, just to see what it's like. And I know he's not a "celebrity" but who cares.

Or grave_n_idle, again, just to see what it's like.

3. If the politically opposed celebrity was picked by the Extra-Terrestrial Aliens, who would be the person you'd let the world burn for?

Your mom. However, at 200,000+ hits, may not be such a bad ride.

[Blondes with big butts]

Kind of one sided selections. Trying to find hot cons who would make a nice date is a tough idea. Palin would make my head hurt about 4 min into her talking. How about McCain's Daughter. She's kinda cute in a farm girl way and actually can hold a rational conversation.

I couldn't think of another conservative commentator who was a woman. Limbaugh and Beck were the only ones in my head. I'll be damned if I'm going on a date with Glenn Beck.

[Maraque]

Lets see... I'm a liberal independent.

Nobody?

[Soheran]

1. Identify your political leanings (for the benefit of those that don't know you well).

Far left/socialist.

2. Which politically opposed celebrity might you go out with and why?

Is Andrew Sullivan politically opposed enough? Probably not.

I'd resurrect Allan Bloom, and make him a few decades younger.

3. If the politically opposed celebrity was picked by the Extra-Terrestrial Aliens, who would be the person you'd let the world burn for?

Most of them.

Compared to the others? I'd marry and have three kids with Glenn Beck.

You know in terms of sexual appeal, in terms of how politically apt he is, narh.

Why Alan Bloom, assuming the Aliens would resurrect him?
Also, please just choose one for "let the world burn" and explain why.

[Rolling squid]

I think the government should stay out of private lives and get into business, so I'd end up dating Palin or Coulter. I'd manage, as I'd be able to steer the conversation to guns, the one area in which I land in the republican camp. There is no one I'd let the world burn for.

Thank you, sir. You are a patriot!

A1 Totalitarian and corrupt
A2 sarah palin she is direcly pro capitalist and i would love some of that alaskan booty
A3 rosie ohdonald i just hate her no reason i just do

[Muravyets]

This one is too hard for me. I'm a liberal progressive. And female. I can think of a healthy list of rightwinger celebrities I would let the world burn rather than date even once -- and most of them are radio/tv talk show hosts.

But I can't think of a single rightwing celebrity I would choose to date. It's not just their politics -- it's that I think they're all so hideously unattractive as well as boring. Can't I just give the aliens my list of "Nevers" and let them pick my date from the names that are NOT on that list? Because me choosing -- not working out so good.

[Allbeama]

I'll approach this as a democrat.
Wouldn't mind Sarah Palin in the sack.
I'd say a big ol' hellz no to Ann Coulter.
