    An open challenge!

    I'm wondering (if possible) that the good people of Political Hotwire (maybe a moderator) could put together just one thread that would consist of only a two person debate. I would be open to debate anyone here, and that includes liberals, moderates, Democrats, or whatever. I would like to see if anyone of the moderators would act as a sort of ref in this debate. I trust that the moderators would be fair. Then, after a week of debate or so, the wonderful people of PF could see who would win this debate. Of course, in this debate, anyone citing sources would have to cite credible sources (non-biased). For example, a person that's Left Leaning Democrat cannot cite sources that are from a Left Leaning newspaper like the New York Times. That's fair enough, right people?

    The question I pose to all the wonderful people here is, who is willing to take on this Neocon? The subject matter could be chosen by the moderator.

    Moderators, what say you on this matter?

    I am for it. I am reporting your post to put it in the mod room for discussion. Good luck, Neo and thanks for the cool idea.
    When it comes to GOP stupidity, there's no need to make stuff up.

    If the pepes here are really interested maybe a separate place can be set asside for this "1 on 1 ". Then all of us who are not part of the debate can vote for the winner. The loser gets his choice either gets banned for life or three days whichever is longer or decapitation !!! Who said there was no choice in 'merica !!
    ' Oh bury me, then rise ye up
    And break your heavy chains
    And water with the tyrants' blood
    The freedom you have gained.
    And in the great new family,
    The family of the free,
    With softly spoken, kindly word
    Remember also me."

    I think not. There are more liberals on this site.

    Isn't that what the forums are for - debating?
    If anything I say offends you, it's because you're an idiot

    Yes, and I think Neo will do a good job but he may have a hard time getting votes. Contest yes, banning NO.

    Ok - I didn't read that all the way through. People vote on winners.

    Here's the only problem that I have, I don't think the average member will vote objectively. The conservatives will vote for the conservative side and the liberals for the liberal side - regardless of who waged the strongest debate.

    I think a few here would be honestly objective but only a few.
