I would have to agree. This is my third post here on/., which isn't that big of a deal except I have been a daily (twice a day usually) visitor to the site for almost a year. I seldom post because I fear the backlash(what can I say, I'm sensitive) due to the fact that I am what most here would define as a "right-wing, evangelical Christian fundamentalist". <sarcasm>I fit right in here.</sarcasm>
It seems that most people view politics as two sides divided by a line. Democrats/Republican, pro-abortion/ant-abortion, ACLU/NRA,... But when we have an issue such as this, it definitely shows the blurring of the sides. Quite frankly, I was appalled to see the ratio of the pro/con votes on this matter. I was dumbfounded to see that this would receive so many pro votes from the Republican side.
I have yet to write any of my Representatives or Congressmen over any political matter, but I am about to. I am disgusted with this vote and I applaud the democrats for voting Nay.
Don't get me wrong, there are still many issues for which Democratic party suppors and I staunchly oppose, but right now I feel ashamed for my party affiliation over this matter.
