FHB: We Never Talked Politics Again

Frum Helen Back (RE: Watergate figure retired in Idaho): We were eating dinner when the story broke. My Republican husband made the comment that the Democrats probably staged the break-in to look like the Republicans did it. That's when the war started between the two of us. As a Democrat and a person who never liked Nixon, I did not take kindly to his remark. We settled the war by agreeing to never talk about politics again. And that reminds me that he never apologized for the remark he made about the Democrats staging the burglary.

Question: Do you and your spouse share the same political views?
