What you fail to grasp is that where politicians come down on issues is a window into their character, and a sure guide to how they will act in office on any number of things.
Litmus tests work. They point you to the existence or nonexistence of underlying disease.

EV, you're thick and stubborn, and incapable of seeing all but a tiny fraction of the big picture, and thus, will unfortunately, always remain clueless.
Goodnight.
