I agree - mostly
I have a lot of axes to grind with Bush. I have found myself on the same side as Greg many times. A number of times I have felt we are doing a good one two combo with someone like Larry or Tom only to have Greg go off the deep end on some totally unsupported tack. The quality of evidence is important in debating the issues. I make a big distinction between blood for oil type claims and things like the real purpose of Bush's tax cuts which are clear based on public statments of Bush himself.
Couldn't agree more.
I don't think there is anything wrong with a moderator trying to improve the level of debate.
Agree completely, but that was not the way I read Justin's post.
Happy if I'm wrong.
