Sometimes you feel sad to be left out of a big debate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I do think its necessary to have debates.
There's always merit to having a debate.
I'm a big believer in debate and difference of opinion.
Debate is healthy and no one in this chamber - starting with me - has a monopoly on being right.
I enjoyed debate on the floor but it's not really debate in the same way.
Sometimes arguments get publicized so much that it gets blown all the hell out of proportion.
I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.
Debates, I hate.
I don't feel that an atmosphere of debate and total disagreement and argument is such a bad thing. It makes for a vital and alive field.
I'd rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.
