It's easy to "win" debates when you're a sociopathic liar

When someone is as emotionless and cold-hearted as Romney, it's quite easy for them to lie through their teeth and look convincing doing so.

This is why debating rethugs is pointless. All they do is lie. It's all they can do. It's all they ever will do. If they were forced to debate on their record and tell the truth, they would get their asses kicked in just about every debate.

pointless to debate or argue with them. I know; married one. Cost me 2+ years and $20,000 to get what I was owed (AFTER I left our house due to physical assault and battery.)

I've had personal experience with these types and I am sick of them being described as "successful."

I don't give a crap about their fucking "energy." It is used only in the service of themselves.

4. If they were forced to debate on their record and tell the truth - they wouldn't show up.

If they were to tell the truth, it would reveal to everyone that they not only sold their souls, but they sold out the American people.

Instead they do a song and dance, and sell fear.

Too bad we can't have a criminal investigation into the GOP.

Just because you aren't called out on your lies, it doesn't mean you did a good job.
We do have something called the Internet and fact checkers.
