I can't decide if she's serious or not.
I'm going to lean towards not because today is my day to be charitable.

It sounds like this is less about having different politics, and more about having deeper philosophical differences. If two people reach slightly different conclusions through a similar process, they'll be able to converse and understand each other. If two people have come to different conclusions through widely divergent means, then it will be difficult to even discuss issues which may be in contention. It really would be difficult to maintain a relationship with somebody whose level of discourse was significantly different from yours.
Unfortunately, she totally lost my sympathy with the "if I could only get him to start watching Bill Maher with me..." line at the end. If that was serious, then she's just as bad as her conservative boyfriend. Different faces of the same coin. The biggest difference is that she feel superior enough to blog about this, while he apparently doesn't.
