For those who were in the chat last night, Rageking claimed that Ron Paul was loony "because his sister said so." He later went on to state that we were uninformed and brainwashed. Thus, I am proposing a one on one debate:
The debate topic: "who is the better candidate, Ron E. Paul or Barack Hussein Obama?"
Rules of the debate are as follows:
1) The words "hope" and "change" are forbidden from the debate, doing so will result in an automatic loss.
2) Arguments that revolve around statistics must be accompanied by a source. For example, if the statement is "We need the federal government to fund education", this must be sourced (preferably with an official document release) showing how much funding it currently provides.
3) Strawman issues about either candidate are forbidden. For example, stating that Obama will not tolerate wars is not acceptable, since he has voted for funding of the Iraq war and won't commit to ending it by 2013. Statements about which candidate supports what must be accompanied by a source (speech clip, article written, vote history, etc). These issues are also subject to examination of the candidates consistency in the particular topic.
That's all I can think of for now, if I think of any others I will add them. I look forward to winning this debate.
