I thought i'd start a live thread for tonights debate since no one else had yet.

Let play a debate drinking game!

Everytime Romney says "America" or Paul says "federal reserve" (or Santorm whines about anything) you drink, and if Romney says "shinning city on the hill" or Gingrich gets the audience to give a standing ovation you have to guzzle the whole can

:)

NBC? Barf. Please, not David Gregory again. :(

[livius]

you have to guzzle the whole can

Now THAT's a drinking game! Ambulances will be standing by...

[Responsibility2nd]

Any bets on whether the moderator will bring up the Gingrich marriage issues?

lolol

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Better still, donate a buck to Newt’s campaign.

[Tennessee Nana]

Thanks for the thread TF...

Ready to watch another whack down of the media and the Willie Mitty..

By the future President Newt..

:)

It’s Bruian Williams tonight, with Tampa Bay Times’s political reporter Adam Smith and the National Journal’s Beth Reinhard.

Huffpo and DKos are crying that NBC isn’t being “Diverse Enough” in it’s inquisitors. No black liberals, no lesbian ‘Reporters”

BFL

[who knows what evil?]

Is that the guy whose hair looks like a greasy skunk’s tail?

[tcrlaf]

NBC’s chosen Debate ‘Topics’ Tonite:

Gay Marriage
Income inequality
Abortion
Marital Infidelity
Proper Worship of Obama, The Messiah

[bonfire]

Actually, that’s a great idea!

Game on!

[JLAGRAYFOX]

IMHO, Mitt Romney is a ship adrift at sea without a rudder!!! whoever advises him todirectly continue his attacks on Newt Gingrich, does him no favors whatsoever. the person that romney shoud be torching verbally is none other then america hater and would be America destroyer, POTUS Barack Hussein “Muslim Brotherhood Lover” Obama!!!

Words of attack against Newt or other pubbie potential nominees are an absolute waste of time!!! Mitt is going to jump off the diving board into an empty pool, if he listens to his team around him!!! Moderation in defense of freedom, liberty, opportunity and the defeat of Obama/the Democrat Party is a fool’s path!!! Romney should be ripping out the political heart of un-American Obama at every opportunity!!! If he does not, Romney is going down, with a simple flush of the toilet. What a moron!!!

[who knows what evil?]

Never mind...I see it’s ‘Bowing’ Brian Williams tonight...

[livius]

I have been telling everybody I know to go to the website or to Newt’s Facebook page and donate. I have done it several times, and I hope I’m so revved up tonight that I donate again.

It doesn’t have to be much - although naturally, if you can give a lot, I’m sure it wouldn’t be refused! But every little bit helps.

[Howdyneighbor]

This debate has me worried. I can see them lobbing weak questions for Newt and some rehearsed zingers for Romney. The media wants revenge and Romney and the GOP wants Newt muzzled.

[KansasGirl]

I’m too nervous to watch tonight. I may just follow along here for FReeper feedback.

[sissyjane]

I live in CA. It’s not going to be broadcast live here? It says 9 pm. WTH???

Oh, puhleeze. Brian Williams' fake tan qualifies him to be an honorary negro, and I think he cross dresses, which qualifies him to be a closet lesbian too.

Funny moment from last week’s debate- Little Ricky: “I do m’own taxes, and they’re on my computer, and nobody’s home to get ‘em...” Duh. Give it up Rick.

[KansasGirl]

I think he will. In fact, I think the moderator will bring up all the attacks on Newt and let Mitty and Ricky fire away at him all night long! Issues that voters care about will not even be dis ussed. Tonight is going to be an orchestrated ambush of Newt. Hope he is ready for it!

I’m to nervous to watch so I’ll probably just check back here for feedback.
