Ten things you won’t hear at the GOP debate
1. From Texas Gov. Rick Perry: “Not just the 16th and 17th Amendments — I want to get rid of a whole bunch of ‘em.”
2. From Mitt Romney: “RomneyCare — what did you expect? It’s Massachusetts, for goodness sakes!”
3. From Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.): “I’d love to have Sarah Palin as my VP!”
4. From Rick Santorum: “Loved, just loved that mandatory HPV vaccination program they had in Texas.”
5. From Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.): “If we don’t have Medicaid and Medicare, what would the poor and the elderly do?”
6. From Newt Gingrich: “If you want to know what kind of leader I am, look at my tenure as speaker of the House.”
7. From Jon Huntsman: “If I had only known how conservative the GOP is I never would have let John Weaver talk me into this.”
8. From Hermann Cain: “I really have no clue about most of this stuff. I run a pizza chain. A pizza chain, guys.”
9. From the moderators: “Let’s spend the first hour on national security.”
10. From any candidate: A good word about Obama, the debt-ceiling deal, the stimulus plan, Dodd-Frank or the U.S. Senate.
Marking for later, too.
Wouldn’t it be something if it got more viewers than the Speech tomorrow? I don’t know how we’d ever measure it, though.
I have no plans to watch the Speech.

NBC will stream it online
Just tuned in about 1 min. ago.
I already heard “Millionaires and Billionaires” from Gibbs.
More of the same.
If his boss repeats that tomorrow, I’ll know “The Speech” won’t be worth doodly and I can turn to the pre-game show.
A Drinking Game For Tonight’s GOP Debate
Here’s a more amusing way to watch the Republican presidential candidate debate tonight at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California.
(By the way, reserve a spot for the Reagan Library on your list of “places to visit before you die” because both the setting and the museum are spectacular.)
Background Note: Today’s 30 year olds were born when Reagan took office in 1981. That would be as if, when I turned 30, all the Republican candidates were still talking about President Eisenhower. (Just something to think about for a political party that must attract more under 30 voters in 2012.)
So here are the drinking game rules to watch Rick Perry’s “coming out” debate:
1. Gather all your friends into two teams – Team Ronald Reagan and Team George W. Bush.
2. Choose the adult beverage of your choice.
3. Whenever a candidate invokes the name of Ronald Reagan, Team Reagan takes a swig.
4. Whenever a candidate invokes the name of George W. Bush, Team Bush takes a swig.
Probable Outcome: Team Reagan will be singing We Are the Champions within the first 20 minutes of the debate and Team Bush’s name will change to Designated Drivers.
Have fun, and remember Reagan’s famous words when you play this game or the great game of life, “Trust, but verify.”
No. I don’t think I’m going to watch the debate. I just can’t stomach it. I haven’t decided yet.
Hiya, adguy.
Here’s the Politico feed. They just accidentally showed their talking heads getting wired up for their preview show which is supposed to start at 7:30:
http://www.politico.com/2012-election/reagan-republican-debate/
“Rubio’s got to be the VP choice, no matter who’s at the top of the ticket.”
Yep. I like him. Rush likes him. But possible NBC issue depending on how one interprets such things. Didn’t mean to veer off subject but this NBC issue could eventually be hugh. :-)

Politico’s preview coverage is streaming now.
You forgot this line of questions:
Mr. Perry, you aren’t gay, are you?
Why not? Do you have a problem with gay people?
(Oh, wait, that's Freddie Krueger....sorry about that).
Carry on.

More drinking ideas:
1. Drink every time the name “Sarah Palin” comes up.
2. If Herman Cain mentions “Herman Cain,” eat a slice of pizza.
3. When Michele Bachmann refers to anything along the lines of “principles our nation was founded on,” take a shot.
4. If Newt Gingrich modifies anything with the words “shockingly” or “fundamentally,” take two shots.
5. If Herman Cain defers policy decisions to his “experts” drink as much as your nearest “expert” tells you to.
6. If Mitt Romney brings up health care on his own, drink 1 gallon of milk.
7. Every time the word “Mormon” is mentioned, drink a venti.
8. When Rick Santorum talks about defeating Democrats in the ’90s, drink 2 Yuengling.
9. Take a shot when Mitt Romney tries to distance himself from his own mandated healthcare plan in Mass.
10. Take a shot whenever Herman Cain mentions “pizza” or “Muslim.” If he mentions both in the same sentence, take two aspirin and have a glass of water to clear your head.
11. Take a shot any time Ron Paul mentions Afghanistan, Iraq or legalizing Marijuana
12. Cross yourself whenever a candidate says “God” or mentions our “Christian heritage.”
13. Make yourself a Pink Lady each time a candidate says “Traditional Marriage is between a man and a woman.”
14. If Santorum tells you to google “Rick Santorum,” take 2 shots.
