Exactly.

Politically, I'm not altogether on the same page as Barack Obama, but if he makes racist fundamentalist wackjobs get sand in their vaginas, I'm all for it. It's usually a barometer for something that benefits the world as a whole when Luddite Taliban-types are opposed to something.
It's for that reason alone that I support gay marriage. If it' wasn't for that, i'd find the idea completely absurd.
However, I did vote for Republican Sam Reed in the primary. He's a nice guy (his locker's next to mine at the gym), and doesn't bow to his party's pressure, even when it meant that sleazeball Rossi didn't get elected and the Top 2 Primary being passed, which is rare for any politician of any stripe.
