My husband hates seeing politics on base.  He gets so mad when he sees a political bumper sticker or window sign on the way to the commissary or the squadron building- even if it’s in support of his party or candidate of choice.

I agree with him on this one.  Being military or affiliated with the military is a political position in and of itself- you’ve got to be careful about what you say and do at all times- if you offend the wrong person it can spell disaster for your military career (we know this from very personal experience- but that’s another post).  Base just isn’t the place to display your political opinions.  And although we live off base, neither is our home.

Also, Justin and I differ on some key political points- such as which party we identify ourselves with.  Yup, it’s a bi-partisan marriage- and so far it’s working just fine.  (although I’ll admit I’ve found myself in agreement with the *other* party on some issues, but I don’t think I’ll ever give Justin the satisfaction of having brought me over to the dark side). 

However, Justin found some political pumpkin templates online and couldn’t resist.  We figured if we did both candidates, it would be ok to display.  Considering we both have pretty much zero experience in pumpkin carving, they turned out amazing!
