Voting Rights

[embre]

I posted this on another forum I frequent as well as my Live Journal and thought it may make an interesting thread here as well. I searched to make sure it hadn't been asked before and couldn't find a thread on it. So, if there was and I missed it, I apologize. If not, then great
So there goes:
slaves: Does your Master/Mistress tell you who to vote for?
Owners: Do you tell your slave who to vote for?
Do you believe it's right/wrong to order something like this?

I'm staunchly political, and actually one of my pre-requisites for a dominant was similar political views. I won't butt heads with my dominant over political issues. I will not allow anyone to tell me how to cast my vote. Dominant or not. My paycheck, my taxes, my choice.

I agree with your comments, Pandora. While my Dom and I have very similar political views anyway, which makes it less of an actual issue and more theoretical, we both agree that a responsibility such as voting is a vanilla world right and thus we are on equal terms. We can debate issues but neither of us would be presumptious enough to tell the other how to vote. Of course if I just didn't bother to vote, I could easily be punished for that since it was an irresponsible action not just a difference of opinion.

I have, however, heard of M/s relationships in which the slave is expected to vote as told. For me, it's really a question of limits. If the slave in question accepted this practice as part of her subservience to her master, then that's their choice and I'll respect it as such. It's something that needs to be explicitly stated at the start of the relationship though as it could certainly be a deal-breaker for many.

Ditto, I agree with both of these statements and feel voting is something which all adult should do with an educated thought.

There was a recent article in the paper that became good fare in the talk radio. About how many couples that got married with out discussing politics have a Major problem in the bedroom during political season's.

They were discussing one couple that have been together for over 20 years he is a Republican and she an alleged republican. But he found out that she was only pretending and only married him to cancel out his vote. While she parroted ever thing he said in front of him she would vote Democratic to cancel out his vote.

The Article also went on to say that when it came to marital congress all participation stopped. It did not matter if it was a dem wife married to a repub husband or vice a versa. Politics just kills sex.

That is one thing that I have had to learn the hard way. I stay away from any Dem v Rep or Rep V Dem's discusions.

Frankly I have to come to the belief that I am not happy with either party.
