I haven’t lost a debate that I have refused to participate in. That’s not the topic.
I'm not talking about the debate here. I'm talking about the debate that took place in the recent primaries, that first took a turn in the 2006 congressional election and has been dragging the GOP and the conservative movement down ever since.

No American looks at Iraq today and says "Good thing W invaded, that really worked out well for us." McCain's indefinite occupation plan B was also a complete non-starter. Time to cut your losses.
