#4 Use the terms liberal and conservative instead of Democrat and Republican to act like it's the same thing.
#5 Use the terms "Red State/Blue State" to further oversimplfy and generalize.
#6 Assume that agreeing with a single issue associates someone with a party.
#7 Assume that anyone who is well known in Washington is far left or far right depending on their party
#8 (RE:#1 and #2) You are not allowed to have an opinion. You are only allowed to regurgitate what a politician has already said that is a part of "your party" to make to argument and regurgitate what a politician has already said that is not a part of "your party" and counter by regurgitating what a politician has already said that is a part of "your party" as the points that you are arguing.
#9 Interrupt everybody who disagrees with you and ignore what they say when you let them talk.
#10 After doing #9, continue to re-state yourself completely disregarding what your opponent has said.
#11 Act like you know everything even though following these rules contradict everything that you learned in ENG102.
