New Hampshire Economic Republican Debate! At a table! Any Drinking game will kill you!

DevoutlyApathetic

Get on. The best part is now! Watch everybody beat up on Romney!

Huntsman seriously just got me to laugh. Poor guy.

Lawndart

Man, Romney has rehearsed the shit out of pushing back against the "Romney made his bones downsizing and offshoring."

DevoutlyApathetic

Ooo......Paul going all rogue and attacking Cain...oh wait, Cain used to run the Fed. It all makes sense now.

DevoutlyApathetic

Was that a paultard dig? Stop being cool Cain!

Lawndart

Charlie Rose has to step in to remind Ron Paul he's supposed to ask a question, not just rant like a crazy person until the buzzer rings.

Huntsman pulls out the sharp knife.

He's not very proficient with it because he stabbed himself about 5 times trying to get it out. That snipe at Perry sounded sooo cheap.

Kyougu

Damn internet!

Fencingsax

Wow, Perry goes for Romney. It's about Romneycare. Qu'ell Surprise.

DevoutlyApathetic

I loved how Romney was gesturing along with Cain as he segued into it.

TehSloth

Also, I don't know why Cain isn't showing up with a giant 9 9 9 emblazoned on his chest.

Lawndart

The Ghost Of Tim Pawlenty's Presidential Campaign has possessed Rick Perry to attack Mitt Romney on Obomneycare.

DevoutlyApathetic

Oh, Romney with the elbow back to Perry.

Fencingsax

I think Romney did pretty well.

galenblade

So Romney just said "Just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true." Apparently without irony.

DevoutlyApathetic

Look at Sanatorum, all proud to know his ABC's.

Fencingsax

Romney wants specifics out of Bachmann.

Kyougu

Yeah, that was the most coherent anyone has been this debate. Even got his digs in against Perry.

Fencingsax

And Bachmann got her 28 kids and her website mentioned.

I imagine his staffers had a long conversation about what would be the most entertaining question to ask of this table.

Fencingsax

Wait, isn't their successful small business that bullshit ex-gay stuff?

Lawndart

Romney sets out the honey-smeared crazy trap for Bachmann.

Apparently the Romney folks didn't get the memo that nobody gives a fuck about Bachmann anymore.

Bachmann: Job creators aren't hiring because of Obamacare. These job creators are psychic, which is why they started firing people in 2008 before Obama was even nominated.

Oh, I think they got it loud and clear. They want nobody with a chance to talk more than they have to. He sure as hell wasn't going to ask Perry or Cain.

no wait! they're still going!

Fencingsax

Oh man, I thought Santorum was about to mention DADT.

Seriously, I'm new to this whole thing but Romney seems to be the only one here to talk shop. Bachmann sounded like she was plugging some horrific porno site.

Fencingsax

Did anyone else here someone mumble "you're not gonna be president forever"?

DevoutlyApathetic

For reference:

Questioner:       Answerer:
Bachmann		Perry
Cain		        Romney
Gingrinch		Romney
Huntsman		Romney
Ron Paul		Cain
Perry		        Romney
Romney	 	        Bachmann
Sanatorum		Cain

I think there is some kind of trend here.

TheBlackWind

Romney softballing Bachmann as a "please stay in the race through Iowa"

Or dare I say it... Vice President Michele Bachmann!

Lawndart

Herman Cain: So, the question was about TARP? How about I ignore that question and flog my 999 plan some more?

To be fair I was taking notes and I had forgotten what the question was about by the time it dribbled out.

DevoutlyApathetic

I love the 9-9-9-0 plan. The extra 0 is for capital gains.

TehSloth

Yeah, congress couldn't possibly raise the rates of the 9-9-9 plan because it takes a 2/3rds majority.

Even if they get a 2/3rds majority I'll be president and can veto it!

A perfect defense!

Just got on. Is there a better stream than washingtonpost.com?

DevoutlyApathetic

The health care answer is just be rich. Get rich by DRILL BABY DRILL!

Lawndart

In other news, watching this debate in high-def is one of the few times I regret buying a HDTV.

I thought I'd heard it gets taxed at 9 as unearned income. I'm very likely wrong on that though.

I don't have a source on it either, I'd read on a blog somewhere that it was 0. Hmm...

Fencingsax

Oh man, the questioner just fucked Perry.
