I never intended to overburden your capacity to comprehend; your stated concern was that "he (Newt) is an idiot for using this as a wedge issue".

To anyone who can read it seems there are three elements contained with that statement. Who the user is, what the issue is and whether an issue is used as a "wedge"

I was simply trying to determine if your complaint was based only on that circumstance which has those particular three elements mutually inclusive.

I don't recall you complaining about any leftist use of divisive issues or of their use of "wedge" issues, so I tried to ask as simply as possible the exact nature and extent of your complaint.

It was as much a rhetorical question as one that I could expect you might be able to understand and cogently respond to, so don't fret that it might be unanswerable for you.
