The GOP had a debate in Iowa today, and AmericaBlog did some running commentary. I think the most interesting moment was when Unca Fred tried to take his ball and go home on the question of global warming, petulantly saying “I won’t answer the question unless I get a full minute to debunk decades of established science with this position paper from Exxon’s public relations outfit.”
Give your thoughts in the comments.

Incredible. Every time I watch a republican debate I get all excited because their answers and policy are so obviously dumb. But to the next day, to my great horror, I’ll read about some pole or focus group that shows how a majority of Americans thought that the Republicans gave great performances or had excellent ideas. wtf is wrong with this country?!
Fred is clueless on climate change, but I will say this. Everyone was crying out when Wolf Blitzer asked the Democrats to raise their hands for this and that. It was nice to see someone refuse to participate in such a stupid game, even if it was for a foolish position. The approach to issues taken by the networks moderating these debates is just depressingly poor.
Something to say?
matt thinks we will all be murdered by terrorists unless Rudy Giuliani becomes president.
