Debates of all ilk

[scaeagles]

And I remember the first Bush - Kerrey debate when I felt like vomiting because of how aweful Bush was making faces at Kerrey. I mean, good lord, dude, you're the POTUS.

GC, I respect so much that you are using the "mirror" thing....I think the thing that bugs me most is the my party and/or candidate is always right and infallible attitude that seems to be so pervasive in politics.

I'm going to call it Leo's Mirror.

No, honestly, I'm all for being in someone else's shoes. I try to do it when my temper doesn't get in the way.

But at the same time, I must admit that I get confused when you use it some of the time. When someone brings up an instance where person A messed up and you point out that person B messed up too it doesn't diminish what person A did in the first place.
I don't know if I explained that well. And rereading it, I'm still not sure.
