is how conservatives universally hate trial-lawyers. They love saying "my doctor" with regards to paying for their own healthcare, yet want to defund government-funded healthcare. And yet, they don't seem to have a problem with government-funded lawyers.
Why don't all these opposing thoughts cancel each other out and take the conservatives with them?
