Having been confronted by an Kerry supporter on my way to get in line for a Bush rally, and leaving him crying- yes, crying- after cordially debating with him and presenting facts, and shaking hands as we departed, I've realized that until there can be a detachment between emotions and reason, civilized debate can never take place. I, therefore, appreciate your invitation, but nonetheless decline.
Sincerely,
Republican Warrior Princess
How did you use cordial debating and logic to put a Kerry supporter to tears? do tell.
were they tears of defeat or realization?
was it like that star Trek episode when the computer/vger though Kirk was God and they forced it into a contradiction about it and it just blew its circuits?

Warrior princess, you shouldn't waste your time with punks! Seriously, check out my other debate threads on FR if you don't think this can be done with civility.
But slowly! I realize I'm already 150 posts behind.
