Or I might just think "There goes another, hypocritical, crazy."
Hmmm... I wonder which one?

Let's look at that statement because that response was pretty off target I believe. He's saying the worst thing about centralized government is personal liberty. This means that this is NOT a federal issue. Constitutionally the Federal Government has no business making this decision, and anyone who is against this had their personal liberty sacrificed because of it.
If this issue was left to the states, you can have for instance a CA, NY, or other STATE fund this, while maybe a red state like IN or TX might not be in favor of it. This allows a greater number of people be represented which is the way it was intended by the Constitution.
Again you're Missing the Point just like the good doctor said. His policy is to only vote for things that are authorized by the Constitution, what's so crazy or hypocritical about that?
