WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Nil Admirari): The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced today it was banning certain "divisive subjects" from being discussed during the 2016 GOP presidential debates. The subjects at the top of the list include evolution, man-made climate change, and the age of the Earth.

Chairman Priebus added, "Americans want us to talk about real policy issues like jobs, and increasing military spending while cutting the size of government, and more jobs."

"Our presidential candidates will continue to wage a social war we have already lost against gay marriage during the forty debates we have scheduled. And there is little doubt all of our candidates will be playing up the freedom every American should have to die due to inability to afford health insurance," pledged Priebus.

1. Satire

2. If I hadn't read the whole article I might have believed it.

On the other hand...........it would not surprise me.

3. Barely.

4. Absolutely definitely satire: The RNC would never-ever allow 40 debates. Never!

They are trying hard to give their candidates as little opportunities as possible to ridicule themselves. They want as few debates as possible in an atmosphere as controlled and friendly and pandering as possible.

The DNC will have 6 debates? I bet, the RNC will have 4 or less.

5. They would just use the "I am not a scientist" dodge anyway.

It would be lovely to hear Huckabee expound on these topics though.

6. Any chance they'll ban the word "Banghazi"?

That would cut the time down to about 5 minutes per debate.

7. Normally I can detect satire, but this is too close to the truth nt

8. Satire tells more of the truth

And the avoidance of those exact topics will happen, other than to deny their reality or their importance. The subject matter will be summarily dismissed, to the never-ending delight of the teabaggeratti

9. Not so far-fetched.

While Repubs do so well at concocting their own 'facts,' why not just ignore them instead?
