Households Divided By Campaign Donations

Husbands and wives may share checking accounts, but they don’t always share political preferences. So what happens when one-half of the marriage wants to donate to a candidate?

A wife writes a $1,000 check to her preferred candidate, President Obama. A week later, her irritated spouse fires back with a $1,000 check to Republican Mitt Romney.

  2. Very true, 701. He divides us up at every word. I've come to realize this and now his words only serve me to unite myself with others against him. He will be out of a job soon, though. Too bad we don't have anyone decent to replace him that's still in the running.
