You're nuts.* Bottom line is that both parties will keep any issue in play that will allow them to stay in power, and if you don't believe that, you have your head in the fucking sand.

I think different factions of the REpublican party have different views of the issue. I am not disputing that you capture one faction's position above., however, the babyjesi of the party have more principle and moral clarity than that and they are running the show at this point. Plus it is an awful decision and should be turned over on the basis of its incoherency and lack of grounding in the constitution. The Fed Soc wing of the party believes that.
