Political Debates
I have always considered debates to be an interesting and worthwhile activity. However, when you consider that a debate consists of two parties trying to prove a premise based on a fresh and honest presentation of fact, you have to wonder if the term ‘Political Debate’ is an oxymoron.
First off, there is no room for honesty when it comes to things political. Politicians seldom deal in fact. Even when the facts support their positions, they can’t resist adding spin to maximize a political advantage.
A couple of egocentric adults, acting as unrully children, accusing each other of being politicians, is not my idea of debate
