MOAR DEBATES PLEASE!!

[NeedleCast]

Nothing can do more for Obama's chances in 2012 than continuing to parade this bunch of GOP dipshits onto a national stage once a week. I have no idea why the Republicans thought it was necessary to schedule 25 debates in the primary cycle, but they're paying off big time...for Obama. Watching Perry step all over his own dick last night was probably the most enjoyable political moment I've had since Obama won or Palin's interview with Katy Couric. Prior to tonight, Perry's chances were slim and none, and after that performance, slim has done left the building.

But beyond the gaffes, the public will be so over-exposed on these chumps by the primary that I doubt GOP enthusiasm will be very high. My moderately conservative father who usually watches presidential debates has already seen enough and basically doesn't like any of them. He was initially a Perry supporter but now thinks Perry is "hopelessly lost and unelectable outside a deeply red state." He had also voiced liking Cain until he presented his 9-9-9 tax plan (Dad works for the IRS and knows the plan is a disaster in the making).

The more debates we have, the more everyone hates the GOP candidates.

1. MOAR or MORE?

:hi:

[Lint Head]

4. I think moar is slang for more.

They should have the debates on the moor closer to the hounds of the Baskervilles.

6. I just assumed it was supposed to be "MOAR DEBAITS PLESE"

in true Teabagger signage style.

13. Moar is the Republican Spelling, don't you know anything? n/t

5. Just think of all the cannon fodder the political commercial people can gather...

I expect to see and hear some of this over and over....its like striking gold.

7. Too bad that none of them seem to know that the Departments of Education, Energy, and

Commerce are established 'departments' and not 'agencies'. Their heads also serve in the President's Cabinet.

8. I agree. I have to admit I missed the first few episodes of this new reality program

but it has grown on me. I'm looking forward to the challenge part where one or more get voted off the stage by the other candidates.

oh, wait, you mean this isn't a tv show? It's not one of those weird reality programs?

huh...

pass the popcorn. :) :popcorn:

11. Maybe They could Film The Pre- and Post- Debate Scense

You know, the behind the stage stuff where the candidates form and break alliances.

14. Oh, I think you folks are onto something here... How about we put them all in one big house?

Of course an expensive house (Perry isn't used to living in anything that doesn't cost the tax payers less than 10K a month, you know) filled with all the latest creature comforts, and of course lots and lots of cameras so we might watch them drink, eat and scheme to excess.

Or, we just stick them all on a deserted island someplace with nothing but a chunk of flint and one can of hair spray each. Then we sit back and watch them go all Lord of the Flies on each other? I'm, personally, leaning toward this second option. It just feels more 'primal' and right to me.

I think we may have found a way to get the majority of Americans really interested in politics again! :D

9. well I'll tell you one thing: it makes for good tv

Up until now I've ignored these debates. But I'm setting my DVR for the CBS one on Saturday night. Good fodder for Jon Stewart and Steve Colbert; they must be loving it.

10. ...

And I'm sure Stewart and Colbert couldn't agree more :thumbsup:

12. Let us all give thanks to The Great Rience Prebuss without whom being AWOL...

(anyone heard from him lately?) this farce would have been reigned in long ago!
