I never did get a satisfactory answer from you on one part of this debate. I understand that you want politicians to represent what their constituents want; that makes sense to me and I can agree to it. But what do you want them to do when their constituents are pretty much evenly split on an issue? How do they decide how to vote?
My thought is that someone who has a faith and lives by it can use that faith to form their political views, in the absence of a clear directive from their contituents - and only then.
