Is it too early in the day to create a debate drinking game thread? Well, no, actually it's not -- not if you're a Republican Party Reptile, (as defined by P. J. O'Rourke -- see below). Slate created a Democratic Debate Drinking Game last October. Words like HALLIBURTON, ENRON, and phrases like SUPPORT OUR TROOPS from Slate's list will be relevant for tonight's debate, but we should update it with our own keywords and phrases, along with detailed descriptions of favorite adult beverages we will be imbibing during the show. (As for me, it'll be a bottle or two (or three) of California's finest pale ale: Sierra Nevada.)
"What is the Republican Party Reptile? It is a creature of the eighties. It’s neoconservatism with its pants down around its ankles, the Rehnquist Supreme Court on drugs, a disco Hobbes living without shame or federally mandated safety regulations. The Republican Party Reptile supports a strong defense policy, but sees no reason to conduct it while sober. The RPR believes in minimum government interference in private affairs—unless the government brings over extra girls and some ice. In short, the RPR is the new label that our political spectrum has been crying out for—the conservative with a sense of humor and a healthy dose of depravity." - P. J. O'Rourke

I do not like Slate's choices for drinking. Why don't we FReepers pick better ones?
I suggest:
1.) Viet Nam - 2 drinks if Nam is stretched into two syllables
2.) wrong
What are some others?

A drinking song in honor of John K:
"We had joy, We had fun, We had seasons in the sun,
My campaign, I did find, was just windmills in my mind.
All my life I'll have fun, I'll have mansions in the sun,
But the White House, you capeesh,
Is just effin' out of reach."

"In short, the RPR is the new label that our political spectrum has been crying out for..." I thought the term "South Park Republicans" was already in use.

What is the Republican Party Reptile O rourke must be confused. His definition reminds me of Clinton. I don't think he was ever a republican though.

Two words will beat your whole list.
Take a drink when a debater says "when I".
