I'm a free thinker therefore I've never been affiliated with a political party nor do I ever see myself aligning with one. I think the straight ticket option should be taken off the ballots and people who vote straight ticket should be embarrassed that they do it.

I don't think that is a fair statement. While I have voted for Republicans at times, if I know that every candidate I am voting for in that particular election is a Democrat (and I do research this stuff and know ahead of time whether this is true or not), I see no reason to take longer in the voting booth by voting for each individually when I can just bubble in one box instead. If someone does this without doing their research first, then I do agree with you. But if someone has done their research and knows lines will be long on election day, it is a real time saver to fill in one bubble instead of 6.
