I find any unsubstantiated claims inappropriate. Coming onto a political forum to bash a official with no backing seems a bit brash. Everyone is allowed to have their opinion. I've never denied anyone that. It doesn't mean I have to respect their posts when it is lacking in content.

I'm not keen on finger pointing without evidence. Doesn't matter which side of the fence it is.

Admittingly this is a personal problem of mine, but I feel there should be some level of fact checking in peoples posts.

Debate over the impact of President Bush's troop "surge" has been at the center of exchanges this week between Obama and Republican presidential rival John McCain. Obama opposed the war and the surge from the start, while McCain supported both the invasion and the troop increase. A Rating: 5
