I don't believe the absurd psychology going on around here, there's got to be a clinical name for it as only pathectic loons could be so deluded. Speak evil of the mascott/figurehead/icon and you must be torn to shreds, not debated.
I rarely debate any of them any more, I've found their heads to be completly empty with nothing substantive to offer the arena of ideas, unless your ideas are all geared towards furthering a phoney politicians political career. Their entire vacuous life philosophy revolves around one person and one person only.
Just give 'em a friendly wave once in a while, you'd gain more by debating the slow bagger at the grocery store, at least he'd be willing to listen to reason.
My father calls George Bush a "phoney politician".
Of course, my father is a Democrat.
I can understand that. You are not good at it.
