Huge cigarette taxes don't do anything except make pork for politicians. "When you're too spineless to

Nope. And our fearless leader has also recently come out against a fence along the border. Of course he his campaign ads places him for border security; fence was not mentioned in those ads. His press people made this significant distinction when he was called out on his fence comment.
