A different kind of debate: debate with questions
Given the kinds of debates that go on here, I thought it might be fun, and admittedly stupid , to see if it's possible to conduct a debate that is comprised solely of questions.

Here's an example:

Wasn't Nixon a worse President?

Do you honestly believe Nixon was worse than Bush?

How can you not see Nixon was worse then Bush?
You get the idea.

Do you think this could work? LOL

Peace...

Good question. Let's see.... how about if we go with "Is George W. Bush the worst president in U.S. history?" I know this has been debated here before (or probably has) but it's something I know many disagree on.

So, is George W. Bush the worst president in U.S. history?

Peace...

You mean we'd have to compare all the presidents? From the first one up? Yeah I guess we'd have to.

OK. so was GWB really worse than this one?

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/ar...nt.harding.htm
Warren G. Harding's claim to infamy rests on spectacular ineptitude captured in his own pathetic words: "I am not fit for this office and should never have been here." A former newspaperman and publisher who won a string of offices in his native Ohio, he was an unrestrained womanizer noted for his affability, good looks, and implacable desire to please. It was good, his father once told him, that he hadn't been born a girl, "because you'd be in the family way all the time. You can't say no."


Harding should have said no when Republican Party bosses in the proverbial smoke-filled room (a phrase that originated with this instance) made him their 11th-hour pick for the highest office. He was so reassuringly vague in his campaign declarations that he was understood to support both the foes and the backers of U.S. entry into the League of Nations, the hottest issue of the day. Once in the White House, the 29th president busied himself with golf, poker, and his mistress, while appointees and cronies plundered the U.S. government in a variety of creative ways. (His secretary of the interior allowed oilmen, for a modest under-the-table sum, to tap into government oil reserves, including one in Teapot Dome, Wyo.) "I have no trouble with my enemies," Harding once said, adding that it was his friends who "keep me walking the floor nights." Stress no doubt contributed to his death in office, probably from a stroke.

Does choosing the worst Vice President in history make Bush worse than worst?

Does the Vice President really have that much influence on the President's performance or perceived performance?

Is the power of the VP determined by definitions?
