I got into a debate with some repub friends last night--I pounded them.
I have two buddies who are neighbors and they were over for a B-Que last night. My one repub buddy started in on how the Dems wouldn't have done nothing after 9/11. I bit my tongue but he kept it up....

Big mistake on his part..... I think he and my other buddy were stunned at what I know--(Thanks DU)because I simply tore each of their Fox news talking points apart.

At the end there was nothing but silence from the both of them because they knew they were beaten.

It ended amicably and were still buds....

2. Did you ask him what made him think that Dems....
would do nothing after 911?
On what past evidence did he base it/
Weren't there TWO dem presidents who asked Congress for a declaration of WORLD WAR?
(Wilson/FDR)
Wasn't it a Dem. president who dropped the big one? (Truman)
Wasn't it a Dem President who signed the Tonkin Gulf Resolution? (Johnson)
I COULD go on.....
JFK.... Cuban Missile Crisis/ Bay of Pigs
Truman ..... Korea
Clinton.... Balkans.... take your pick

3. Well...
I would chalk it up to many years of football arguments...errm..."debates" with Pitt. They have toughened you up to a point that no mere mortal could hope to hang with you. ;-)
