47. IWR passed by a fair margin with bi-partisan votes.
The Democrats that voted for it understood the ramifications. Your original question (paraphrased) was whether to be angry with those who voted out of political expedience.

This was far too large of an issue for political expedience to be the largest component of the aye vote for the IWR. The results of that vote meant people were going to die. That is why this question will be one riven with great emotion and be a political nightmare to discuss rationally for some time to come. Those that can forgive, should do so and will. But forgetting is not optional. Those who do not know there history are doomed to repeat it, so they say.
