Lots of "what about the children?!" questions, which really is an emotional appeal not a logical one. Poverty hurts more people than just little cute children which the crowd can visialize and get pissed, toss in a few argumenative abortion and gun control questions and you've got a hot button debate that'll get you no where.

Funny they should mention Nader, at least he gets down to the facts and is willing to interrogate corporatist politics and their affect on the world instead of holding up an infant and screaming "murderers!" Unfortunaltly, this type of reactionary stance if often associated with the greens and has hurt their numbers.
