Tonights debate promises to be a complete waste of time for anyone who is truely learning anything about the candidates and their stances on important issues.

Edgy? Yawn.

I think I'm going to settle back and let Vodkapundit drunk blog the thing. More entertaining and enlightening than listening to the moderators blather on.

In fact, I think I'll be spending that time sanding and plastering the walls in my house, which is a far more productive use of my time.

Ron Paul.

I saw some of the submissions on youtube. I tend to think many of these people are not Reublicans. Some young punk kid blathering about the Bush Administration's policies ruining our world reputation and how will the candidates distance themselves from Bush.

Mmmkay.

I can't do anything right today.

Reublicans should be Republicans.

Sheesh.

I wonder what the Lincoln-Douglas debates would have been like if they were subjected to the same idiocy that modernity has to offer...

Drudge report says CBS is talking about canceling the debate because of the writers strike..

/Thank god for unions.

Give me a break. How about, " As a homophobic islamophobic misogynistic evil poopyhead, how do you intend to draw any distinctions between yourself and rest of the Republicans on stage with you?"

What do conservatives conserve?

How has your sense of humor helped you in your campaign?

What is your position on the statement, "The United States of Christians".

Wowee. Are these the types of probing questions on topics of great importance we can expect tonight?

this could help to flush out any ron paul sleeper trolls that might have registered here in the last few days.

You neglected to mention that Katie 'The Tart' Couric is not happy about the development. Poor Katie.....can't catch a break. :~)

is perky kaytie involved tonight?re: #11 loppyd

Ron Paul is Edgy!....A house full of whores can't be wrong!

. CNN, Youtube and Ron Paul: a breathtaking configuration of three separate black holes.

Two that spoke.

I rather like the guy in the pseudo-nazi uniform and the bogus accent.

People should avoid this sham.

Link for 20.

re: #22 JammieWearingFool

Thanks!

A mid-debate show will be performed by beloved death-metal band Deathklok!

"Edginess" is about on par with "truthiness."

It isn't, but they (the Powers That Be in their own minds) want to put a veneer of "edge" or "truth" on it, so they just mangle the word.

(Not to be confused with Dan Rather, who so far gives all indications he really does believe the memos.)

Hope it will be live in Europe too... Beer is already in the fridge ;-)

It will be a disaster... CNN is going to select questions that show exactly why it's a big joke...

Republicans trying to prove they are as hip and cool as the Dems!
/puke

Let's see, Cnn picking You Tube questions for a Republican debate, what's not to like? Who the [expletive deleted] is in charge of the RNC?

/guess I'd better hit the liquor store

Kids Christmas card picture sitting tonight at eight o'clock, Another debate? YAWN! Haven't watched one fully yet. Just ten minutes or so of one Dem debate to see what the face of evil looks like in real-time.

So watching this will require me to turn to CNN?

Next!

This might be funny if I still drank. Dead cold sober, though, it would be intolerable (so I'll be doing laundry instead).

The Edgihadis are coming!

I saw a quick flash on this this morning - some obnoxious kid saying something about promising never to name anything after that vice president Dick Cheney.... Classy. CNN, I mean.

Who watches these things, the YouTube folk that gots their clips picked? Ron Paul?

re: #3 storagemanager

Ron Paul.

RON P......dammit. you stop that.

:)

Sorry, but I'll be busy playing Call of Duty 4, and kicking jihadist a$$ tonight.

Speaking of which - OT - I'd love to have a COD4 LGF clan. anyone? anyone? bueller?

ok, back to sleep i go...

I've already made plans to miss it.

"I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew!"
/Talladega Nights reference

If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

Ron Paul: "Any kind of nut-bearing tree."

Frankly, I'd rather sit and watch Lawrence Welk reruns (he's dead, you know) with my father-in-law.

re: #21 JammieWearingFool

People should avoid this sham.

Yeah, but you know we're going to watch -at least for a little while.

re: #5 loppydI think that the Republicans should be Republicans as well.

I'm in.

re: #35 Owl

Just about to order it.

Charles-that is exactly it: "...further degrade the whole mess".
It makes me sick that these fine men go to be ridiculed.

Wow, I quoted the wrong comment. Amazing.

*bows*

4-loppyd- people saythat the GOP distances themselves frm GWB. But so far he has gone a a whole bunch of mostly private fund-raisers and raised over 62 million dollars.

A perfect storm of 9-11 truthers, LLL's and Ronulan whackjobs...
I wanna see Duncan Hunter give one of these YouTube geeks the smackdown.

I would really like to see Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson put the Clinton News Network in their place. The rest of the crowd are running for the wrong political parties nomination.

Will there be undecided voters there that are all liberal activists and democrat congressmen staffers?

wish we could get some better questions,
but i really wish we could get straight answers out of these candidates

(1st post here, yay?)
ranting on....
at least there is still hope that these debates aren't planed out like the democrat ones are (attempted to reference hillery's supporter plants)

The guy asking about US dollar devaluation has a good question, and asks it coherently and politely.

If you want a clue as to the "seriousness" of the debate tonight, I'd recommend listening to a truly surprising interview with YouTube's head of this kind of thing, conducted by Hugh Hewitt yesterday night. The shallowness on display does not inspire confidence.

I think we need to take the web cams away from the freaks.

Personally, I'm planning to watch Kid Nation - at least these asshat adolescents are entertaining.

"What do conservatives 'conserve?'" Life, resources, money - the list is endless. Thank your for taking time from your bong hits to ask a question.

And of course, the Iraq War questioners - no facts or anything, but you can bet they'll be hammered by them.

And what's with the Kabuki mask dude on the Canadian Border question. "You're too overzealous about border security." Really, paleface? Because you wouldn't be so quick with that crap if there were two gaping holes in downtown Montreal.

I don't see why everyone gets mad at CNN for trying to make the debates a bit more humorous. I mean, for Christs sake, we have 11 more months of this campaign to go. We could use a little humor now and then. That's why I supported Stephen Colbert.

re: #52 jukin3

Will there be undecided voters there that are all liberal activists and democrat congressmen staffers?

if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say there'll be a LOT of them.

Oh yawn, I turned down my ticket to this event deciding that I really have no confidence in questioning by Utubers or the white haired CNN guy. Am I becomming jaded by these incessant debates!
