Someone give that woman a shovel...
I would consider myself a moderate, just to give you a bit of where i'm coming from. I'm not sold by the right wing narrow agenda but i'm also not open to the "let everyone do what they want" mentallity of the left. Well tonight I was pretty unimpressed by both sides as I watched the debate between the two speakers. I shall start with the lady because ladies first of course, so the woman speaker tonight made me feel like I was in 1984 and was basically being forced to accept her point of view otherwise I am inhuman. I do admit that some of her points held some valid weight in the disscusion but it was burried beneath so much political B.S. that it turned me off to listening to anything she really said. Now onto the man speaking(or lack their of), I actually did enjoy some of the comments that the gentlemen on the right said but my enjoyment was not because of the sophistication of the comments but mainly because the way they were presented. As I watched him listen to the woman speaking I started to see him make faces when he disagreed and he would rudely interrupt her as she was trying to speak. I think the lady was almost intolerable with the amount of tangents she went off on when answering questions but still their is no excuse for acting rudely. The thing that I didn't like about the man as well was that he was the typical republican conservative who would shut off the moment someone disagreed with him. At one point while the woman was talking he actually pointed to his bible and I believe he said something to this accord "This is my guideline". I think that the woman speaking may have been a bit overbearing in her views but she still had enough respect to hear out her opponents rebuttles. I now have no wonder why Christian Republicans are demonized so much by the left. I think the "right" has a lot of good points to make and I might even fall to that side of the spectrum on a lot of issues, but how they conduct themselves is childish and it will only work in a theocracy.The bottom line is that pointing to a bible and yelling Jesus a few times is not going to win a debate.
