I disagree. How do you think Clinton got elected? It wasn't the men in this country, it was the soccer moms of America that put him over the top. |
You disagree with what again?

Edited to say, I mean as audience. Although perhaps on stage too. |
Sounds like that is exactly what the DNC and RNC want too, to put out their own sock puppet on stage. God forbid either candidate come up with an original thought of their own. I'm picturing the "We both reached for the gun" scene in Chicago...

I did read that both parties had tried to demand that the cameras would only shoot them from certain angles, a request which was promptly ignored. |
Man, I guess the guy who is a nose picker is SOL then.
I think this thing will be nothing more than a series of soundbites.

The Official 2004 Presidential Debate Drinking Game
By David Martin. David Martin lives in Ottawa
Canada
Published September 29, 2004
Let's face it. The presidential debates are a nuisance. But for whatever reason, most television networks feel obliged to carry them.
So stop your whining and make the best of a bad situation with the Official 2004 Presidential Debate Drinking Game. All you have to do is line up your favorite beverage and pick a candidate. Then let the game begin:
- Every time President Bush says the word "safer," take a drink. If he uses the word "democracy" in the same sentence, make it a double.
- For every John Kerry reference to the UN, have a drink.
- If Bush uses the phrase "compassionate conservative," you must chug your entire beverage.
- Take one drink for every three times Kerry points with his left hand.
- Any previously recorded Bushism, like "misunderestimate" or "subliminable," used by the president during the debate requires one drink.
- If Kerry exceeds the time limit for any response, take a drink.
- Back-to-back offenses require a double shot and a NoDoz.
A reference by your candidate to any of the following requires one drink:
1) Florida
2) North Korea
3) Axis of evil
4) Saddam Hussein
5) The American people
- And for an exciting twist on the game, anytime anybody mentions the word "Vietnam," everybody has to take a drink.
In this game, everyone's a winner. At worst, you'll reach the end of the debate experiencing a warm, pleasant buzz. But if you're really lucky, you'll pass out by 10 o'clock and won't have to listen to the closing statements. Cheers!

Cheryl, if this game is played, the nation will be drunk ten minutes after the debate begins.

A PLAN TO SUBVERT THE LIBERAL/CORPORATE MEDIA MACHINE.
It works if you're liberal or conservative.
1. Watch the Debate.
2. As soon as it ends, when they're applauding and handshakes are being offered, TURN OFF THE TELEVISION! TURN OFF THE RADIO!
Do Not let pundits tell you what to think, who won, who had a good showing, whatever, until you've thought about it a while by yourself.
Tomorrow's newspapers and talk radio shows will be full of analysis. Spend that time reflecting about what you saw, if it made you more or less likely to back one of the candidates, etc. Only then check out the media frenzy and see how your views compared.

But I will go out on a prediction limb. here. . . . . . .
I bet George Bush will get through the entire debate without uttering the name Noam Chomsky.
Take it to the bank!!
Oh, and GR you're absolutely right. That is an alcohol-poisoning-inducing game you've suggested, Cheryl!!!!!!!

I'm printing it and at least playing "Debate Bingo" with it. You KNOW most of those will happen, and several times.

Noam Chomsky is a professor of linguistics at MIT who is like a lefties lefty. As far to the left as Grover Norquist is to the right. The kind of blame America first guy that you definitely would have heard of if our nation's media was, in fact, liberal instead of a corporate-driven disinformation machine.
Oops, sorry for the rant there!
