Why? Because, even though EV and I have a profound difference of opinion on Constitutional principles that we may never see eye to eye on, I would rather argue with him than follow you into the slaughter pen with GOP sheep dogs nipping at my heels. There have been exceptions at times but for the most part FR has been a conservative forum not a GOP cheer leading squad. Whether EV and I settle our differences or not isn’t all that important. Having the argument is important IMO. You would like for the argument to not take place at all. That kind of falling in line for the sake of party unity probably doesn’t suit either of us, EV or me, very well.
“You would like for the argument to not take place at all.”
Wrong. This is not the time. Shells are flying. The battle is joined. A decision needs to be made and your buddy has walked over to the other side. Sad.
