5. Debate play-by-play - question one

Corporate Shill: "Hello everybody! Welcome to the debate! First question: what is the role of religion in government and why is the phrase 'separation of church and state' such an icky lie?"

Contestant #1: "I am more religious than the rest of you put together."
Contestant #2: "My guns are blessed by Jayzuz himself!"
Contestant #3: "God spoke to me last night and told me to smite you all!"
Contestant #4: "Obama is a dirty muzzie"
Contestant #5: "I will make church attendance mandatory! The only functions government should have are funneling money to our betters & enforcing Shariah, oops, I meant Moral Law"
Contestant #6: "Don't mind my Magic Underwear"
Contestant #7: "Don't mind mine either"
Contestant #8: "You are all going to hell if you don't vote for me!"

13. I think you've about summed it up. nt

14. OK my two part question is this.....

Do you believe the Bible is the literal word of God? (of course they do) Then do you also believe that God made the sun and the moon stand still (physics be damned) at Joshua's behest?

Oh wow, that blows Bill O'Reilly's "The sun goes up, the sun goes down. The tides go out, the tides come in." rule all to hell.

16. O'Lielly

O'Reillys's "tides go out, tides go in" has been updated to "I can cheat & go out; past, current, and future wives have to stay in"

6. "don't be evil" wtf? nt

7. Think of these as Unpresidential Debates

Since all the candidates get to prove how unpresidential they are.

[madrchsod]

8. a debate among clown college drop outs....?

[peace frog]

9. Aw geez, why is it always Florida

We get the sh*tty end of the stick every time. Get lost, GOPers, we don't want you here.

[JDPriestly]

10. I wish that Democrats could have a debate between Obama and a progressive.

[Big Orange Jeff]

11. Cue Palin's announcing a September 22 bus tour stop in Orlando in 3, 2, ...

That would be hilarious.

[valerief]

12. If they weren't so terrifying, it would be savage amusement. As it is, I'll pass. nt

15. Two things Republicans will try to do

The GOPhers will try to do two things in their debate:

1. Fall over each other telling us how bad Pres. Obama is.
2. Try to depict other Republicans as being "Obama-lite," i.e., agreeing with him on some key issues (e.g., "RomneyCare" in Massachusetts will be alleged to be the model for "Obamacare").

Other than that, don't expect too much to come out of any Republican debate.

17. since FL's an open carry state (i think), wonder if they'll all be packing heat on stage.

the new 'Wild West Show'; by idiots, for idiots.
