We're in a bar fight here, there aren't any niceties like bowing before the brawl.

Things to never do with a conservative: graciously compliment to set up the zinger or ask rhetorical questions. With the former, they can cut you off or misquote you and ride joyously on the praise. With the latter, you give them a chance to answer and take the floor. With the former, you hit them front and center with the grave misgivings; if you need to, you can grant a few bits of praise to end your statement. With the latter, you put words in their mouth and make pronouncements about what their responses will be.

Sheesh.

Clinton drives me nuts.
