This is asinine. It was one Clinton who signed DOMA, not Clintons (plural). 224 Republican members of the House of Representatives voted in favor of it, compared to 118 Democrats. 1 Republican voted against it, compared to 65 Democrats. In the Senate 53 Republicans voted for it, none voted against; 32 Democrats voted for it, 14 voted against it. So you have a slightly moving, changing Democrat party; and complete bigotry then and still now in the Republican party. Yet you stopped being a Democrat based on this vote? That's fine, but it's completely absurd. Democrats are the conservative party, and have always had to be dragged kicking and screaming to get anything progressive done in all of history. It does not make sense you'd use DOMA as the point in time to switch to the crazy party. You know, the bat shit insane where it's OK to "get away" with gawking at girls getting dressed in the changing room, but it's perverse for a female identifying transgender to take a piss in the women's bathroom - something that's been happening for a very long time without anyone giving two shits until Republicans got a fucking clue it was happening. |
