Love Or Money At The Iowa Caucuses: Which One Won?

For many caucus goers, money was more important than family values.

In the wake of the Iowa caucuses, many pundits are scratching their heads. Favorites like Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich lost to the relative unknown, Rick Santorum, who tied with Mitt Romney at 24% of the vote. But perhaps, the result is less confusing when you look at it from the angle of love and relationships.

Angry Single Blogger: Why I'll Never Have Sex With A Republican

Except one! There is only ONE Republican I'd have sex with, and he would be worth it.

Note to the male population: If you don't share my bleeding heart liberal views, we will not be having sex. Just something to think about during this pre-election season, which has already bombarded us with incompetent GOP debates and Rick Perry's overtly bizarre behavior. I'm apparently in the minority on this one, however.

Why Don't Online Daters Care More About Politics?

Most couples have similar political views. So why don't people express them when dating online?

A new study found that when it comes to online dating, people are more likely to confess that they're more on the, um, "fluffy" side when it comes to their physique than what their political stances are.

Republicans Cheat With Prostitutes, Democrats With Their Staffers

The Daily Beast analyzed more than 60 political sex scandals over the last 20 years.

Leave it to The Daily Beast to crunch the numbers on something as salacious as political scandals. We're sure they had a ball doing hardcore data analysis on the last 20 years of cigars, wide stances and love children with housekeepers. Of course, at the end of the day, what we really want to know is which party has been involved in more sex scandals (we'll spoil it for you: the Republicans). We won't spoil the rest of the lurid details.

Do Democrats Have More Sex Scandals Than Republicans?

Which political party gets into the most sexy trouble? Democrats or Republicans?

But it begs the question, why are Republicans winning this awful race? If you ask a Republican, they might say that Republicans are targeted by the media. If you ask a Democrat they might say that Republicans, who are known for touting a line of "family values" are hypocrites. I know one Republican who thinks that Republican politicians are simply set up. The answer it seems, is as divisive as the politics.

Do Politics Matter To Your Relationship?

Lyz on Love takes on politics and love.

I would and have dated someone of opposite politics and in fact, dear reader, I married him. (10 points to the person who names that literary reference.) I am not going to lie and say that we never talk about politics and things are hunky dory. Because, we literally cannot watch a political debate together without glaring at each other from opposite ends of the couch and then someone sneaking out to eat all the Cheetos, just to make the other person upset. Those were my Cheetos! While, politics are important to both of us, but even more important is the fact that we agree that Skittles are a superior candy and that the movie theater smells like a wet gym sock. These are the pillars of a relationship. Not all that values and morals crap.
