I love question hour... it makes politics so much more interesting!Maybe rhetorical arguing like the stuff that is used in this video can be brought to American politics somehow... You'd suddenly have people watching C-Span more often.

The crowd is so LOUD!!!
But there are some good points brought to the front. First off, i find this very common among politicians of any sort today, when the simple yes-or-no question about inheritance tax is asked, Mr. Prime Minister simply walked around the question, instead of directly answering it! How common this has become.
As for the rhetorical arguing poncho villa mentioned, I would like to see it here too. I could just see President Bush... chuckle... and his arguing.
