Jesus, man... That's the best you've got at the end of the day? To admit the Left's cravenly opportunistic on an issue in which it holds itself up as morally infallible and then distinguish "disingenuous" from "opportunistic."
You do realize you conceded my point, don't you. My point was the Left is playing politics with that which it claims is an issue of such moral gravity it transcends politics.
It's fine to be a whore and a liar in politics, but when you hold yourself out to be morally incorruptible on an issue, you're disingenuous.

Who the hell is holding themselves out as morally "incorruptable" or "infallible"? (I recognize, BTW, that that's the cardinal sin in your universe.) We were talking about people who are against torture. If you oppose torture, does that mean you think you're morally infallible? The overwhelming political consensus in this country until just a few years ago was that torture is wrong, so it doesn't exactly take infallibilty to still think that.
