Who is the Greatest Conservative Debater?

Posted on 01/17/2006 6:33:21 PM PST by Jungle Fever

Can't think of any that particularly impressed me, with the exception of a few quasi-conservatives. Who really knows how to shake up the rats?

Met Newt in Austin a week ago at an ACTPAC luncheon. He has an off the cuff style that is impeccable. His personal problems aside, he would destroy any liberal on the planet in a debate.

First just a bit of advise. It is not wise to sign up and post a vanity right out of the box.

To answer your question Keyes is very good.

He is not able to connect to people on a personal level which is why he is a lousy candidate but he is a very good debater.

Ann is the zingermaster bar none. But for sheer logic, and trapping people in their own words, it's Buckley.

Lynn Cheney was GREAT on Point Counterpoint on CNN a lot of years ago.

Congressman Peter King of Long Island, New York is one of the best!!! He regularly destroys Chris Matthews and that moron of morons, Howard Fineman.

Too sweet, too soft. And in the hideously obscene case of the Democrats, she's 'too' fair. This 'too fair' thing is forced into existence by the Democrats.

Why do we have to come up with names that impress you?

Buckley handed John Kenneth Galbraith his head during a formal firing line debate a couple of decades ago.

Buckley is brilliant, but I wouldn't say he's a great debator. His pretentious 'accent' and use of archaic language might confuse the person he's debating enough to beat them though.

You are absolutely right. It doesn't take much mental acuity to demolish a Dumbocrat. The talent is in getting a word in edgewise. And Mark Levin is the king in that arena.

Add me to those who think Newt was the best. Not sure he was a real conservative tho.

Reagan was king of the one line retorts.

Ann Coulter is a shallow-head ditz. What about Rush Limbaugh? Thus far I haven't seen anyone mention him. I know ol' Rush is "yesterday's news" but he still has the ability to dismantle any Democrat in 25 seconds or less.

My second choice would be Tom Tancredo, (R) CO.

"I'm an old resident that got banned during the heat of the Terry Schaivo crisis."

I see that public admission didn't turn out to be the wisest of ideas.

Thanks, but I'm an old resident that got banned during the heat of the Terry Schaivo crisis.

And you mark your attempt at a return with a one line vanity posted in news?

Probably not a bright move for an "old resident"
