Yeah. And I'm the dad trying to persuade the teenage daughters.

Nope, you are the teenage daughter rebelliously refusing to listen to a single fact or objection that does not valid your emotion based preconceived opinion. The fact that not ONE Freeper has sided WITH you should be setting off warning bells in your head.

The fact that your personal desire for McCain's victory is NOT at all shared by ANY of the political activists people who hang out here is pretty strong evidence that McCain is NOT the politic powerhouse people think he is. See Freepers are by nature political activists. When you cannot even get a significant number of them to side with your candidate, your candidate is in SERIOUS trouble.

However this is simply a waste of our time. Like the usual teenager, when you can not intellectual challenge the other posters viewpoint, you fraudulently attempt to claim a moral or intellectual superiority or mindlessly fixate on some utterly inconsequential comment made to you to avoid having to actually address the points made by your opponents. It is a tactics called diversion. Unfortunately FReeper are old and tried debaters. They will not fall for the diversion.

You seem to think this will bolster your failed position. It does not. Another habit in common with the petulant daughter is your habit of stating your opinions as a statement of fact. Your opinions are not facts. It is a logical fallacy to state them so.
