Besides it's not really your fault that you can't win this argument. There IS no winning this argument for the republicans at this point. Too much of what they've done has been exposed. Debating from the republican side right now would be incredibly tough. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
I think this is totally incorrect. It's not accurate to say that he didn't respond to the "tough questions", the problem arose when his response wasn't to immediately fall in line with the liberal adjenda. And I could understand his frustration with being the only one defending his opinion in this thread for the most part, but I think many who might agree with him have grown tired of leftists requiring full theses for arguements that essentially come down to an overblown version of a two children yelling "Uh-huh" and "Nu-uh" at each other.

Many people on both sides just can't be convinced of the other's rightness or wrongness, no matter how much informatinog is given. So it's pointless to try. And I'm sure that you're gonna come back with some not-to-veiled attack on Rebublicans being blind to the truth, but it's just as bad on both sides. And to ignore that fact is to be blind to the truth.

And just in case you are still watching politicophile-the ignore function is your friend. You'd be suprised how much good it can do, if used properly.
