I've never actually seen a lib win a talk show debate. Their main objective isn't to debate or to win, but mainly, to keep their opponent from getting to say anything while maximizing the amount of time they are given. Logic is not a requirement for this tactic, which is why liberals use it.

The first thing libs like to do is to get the first shot. They get to spend the first minutes of any talk show spewing their filth uninterrupted by the polite conservatives and the polite host. this means they get one clear opportunity to get out their message. Once that is done, their next problem is to silence their opponent during his turn.

This is done by joking with the host, interrupting, or if the opponent won't shut up when interrupted, by shouting over the opponent so that nothing he or she says can be heard, and by interjecting comments in the hope of inducing a change in subject.

You see, the libs know there is never a need to win an argument if the liberal side is the only side heard.

Libs always start their arguments with "I feel..". There is no way to argue with feelings. Conservatives have facts, but the people who dwell with feelings don't care about that.
It's much easier to argue facts than feelings. I wonder if we can ever have a real discussion when one side is talking feelings and the other is talking facts.
