We should no longer attempt rational debate, it’s a loser. [View All]

[Timefortruth]

Why do we address the issues, ever? It is a consistently losing position. We will win when we replace all actual debate with slogans and hyperbole. On judicial appointments, don’t explain that it isn’t judicial activism they hate, it’s judicial activism that isn’t fascist that bothers them. Replace the whole dialog with a slogan “Reactionary Republicans Rebuke Freedoms” on Social Security, “Republicans Spend Your Benefits Today” on terror, “Homeland security means securing the homeland, not sending the Guard overseas” There is absolutely no reason to explain our position. If you doubt it argue with one of them, after the talking point there is NO substance, so at that point they attack the person or change the subject to Clinton.

If a Republican spouts a talking point, answer with “at least Clark didn’t go AWOL” regardless of the topic. Or “Clinton didn’t treat treason as a joke like Bush is.” Alternatives like “didn’t Newt serve his first wife with divorce papers while she was getting chemo in the hospital?” Or “isn’t Cheney’s daughter lesbian” (that will totally throw them off because it has absolutely nothing to do with anything).
