You could try addressing the points without being snarky.

I wanna be the guy that does that. I can be that guy on the weekend (you left me a lot of "go find X and read it again" type homework); during the week I don't have time to be that guy. I'll get to you sooner if you can repackage your concept into quickly-respond-able formatting (again, I know, I'm the one that broke that up with snarking, sorry). Example:

I think we should get the federal government as much "out" of education as possible. Treating it like a public good is mostly detrimental (with exceptions that are worth thinking about more than I have). I'm reluctant to take any action which has a centralizing effect on the education industry, because distinctions between independent schools have proven important to students, parents, graduates, employers, and schools themselves.
