My issue with One issue voters

I am extremely active in a certain magazine's message boards. Theoretically we talk about healthy eating and fitness, but sometimes the conversation evolves into politics. Today, we've been talking about the Budget cuts that recently passed, which morphed into other stuff. Anyway - we got to voting styles.

I have serious issues with one issue voters. Especially those who vote on issues that don't affect their lives. Right now - my new home state, Maryland (yeah - I just moved to VA, but I'm kinda lazy about getting everything turned around) is dealing with the possibility of an anti-gay marriage ammendment. This is so counter everything good....it's bad for business, it doesn't make sense, it hurts 20% of the population, grrr.

Not that my voting decisions are based on anything brilliant - but I have a matrix of things: abortion rights, health care, etc. Sometimes I vote Dem (ok, almost always except in the case of Dick Lugar) and sometimes (mostly for local positions) I don't.

Anyway - I needed to remain respectful on the message board and not point out that I think only ignoramouses vote on one issue - so this became the venue.
