Actually a debate requires that the orator brings a variety of different arguments up to make her case, not the same point over and over and over.

Actually a debate requires none of the sort:

Debate (North American English) or debating (British English) is a formal method of interactive and position representational argument. Debate is a broader form of argument than logical argument, since it includes persuasion which appeals to the emotional responses of an audience, and rules enabling people to discuss and decide on differences, within a framework defining how they will interact.

Informal debate is a common occurrence, but the quality and depth of a debate improves with knowledge and skill of its participants as debaters. Deliberative bodies such as parliaments, legislative assemblies, and meetings of all sorts engage in debates. The outcome of a debate may be decided by audience vote, by judges, or by some combination of the two. Formal debates between candidates for elected office, such as the leaders debates and the U.S. presidential election debates, are common in democracies.

If you need more, I don't like the fact that she fought against a new fire truck in Livonia when she was on Council. I don't like that she doesn't have a real plan to move the city forward. I don't like the fact that she is a Granholm appointee.

Sorry, your defination does not actually define the method of a debate. I was referencing my HS debate class. When I took it in HS, each side was required to have several arguments ready to use during the actual debate.

Is it a debate if I just keep saying


Jack is a mud-slinger, jack is a mud-slinger, jack is a mudslinger?

Probably not, even your defination suggests that I need a broader representation of my argument. And I must be persuasive.


YOur single point about Maureen in neither broad, nor persuasive.

I never asked people to stop posting. I like this forum, if I don't want to have a discussion with someone, then I stop posting.

Ok, well, this was not exactly what I was looking for when I started this topic. Sounds like it is just a spittin' contest now ... so to say.

Where will all this leave Livonia on Wednesday morning?

Depends on who wins.

If Maureen wins, then the shredding begins.

What kind of campaigning might I have seen from Ms. Brosnan's camp that gives the impression that a consulting firm is swaying my vote?

Livoniarocks
 

No idea.  Didn't say that.  All I did was respond to Mrs. M's comment on not liking consulting firms, and showing her that Maureen spent a lot of money on them.  Now, most times money is spent on a consulting firm it is either for polling, literature design and aide, or campaign support and suggestion as a whole.


I realize diction is not your forte'. I did not say I didn't like consulting firms. I said...I agree we don't need* consultant firms to tell us who we should vote for. (the forementioned was from the NEW Brosnan vide topic)


We don't need milk to drink does NOT mean we don't like milk. We have 4 gallons in the fridge. We don't need milk to drink.

You should watch how words get twisted and spun in this city and school district. A lot of us have been through a crash course on verbiage and 'operative' words.
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be WRONG.

Then you won't have a problem dropping this whole abortion and religion topic. Once again, it has no place in this election. Or on this site.
