If you were candidate in a debate, and allowed one wingman debater, which DUer would you bring?

[Rabrrrrrr]

Who would you want standing by you in a televised presidential debate to offer backup, fill in the spaces, and otherwise be one's tagteam partner?

And why would you pick that person? Is it their incredible meanness and unholy unconscionable ability to shame and destroy? Is it their intense and focused knowledge of a specific topic? Is it their overall ability to chime in with a thoughtful, data-laden response that sounds totally convincing even if the person really knows they're pulling it out of their ass? Is it their willingness to swear and be filet-knife sharp in their personal accusations, no matter how disturbingly colorful the language is? Is it their coolness and calmness? Their obvious deep-thinking? Their mephitic logorrhea that would so shock the audience and the country into stupefaction that they would assume you must be the perfect candidate because, man, what balls you must have to bring in a guy who says that? Someone who would make the opponent change sides just because they feel so gosh-darned bad disagreeing with such a lovingly kind and obviously disappointed matriarchal grandmotherly type? Someone who will speak the truth in a gin-fueled avalanche of profanity-filled rage?

If you don't wish to name a DUer, who else would you choose?

[PeaceNikki]

1. whoisalhedges

He has a pretty good depth of knowledge and can throw a smack-down with the best of 'em.

[MrCoffee]

2. Tough choice

There are 2 that are clear front-runners, but each brings different strengths to the table.


Who to choose?

[Parche]

4. me and who else?

:woohoo: :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. You and Walt Starr, n00b.

:P

[DS1]

9. So THAT's who Ross Perot ran with

I've been wondering that

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. "Who am I? Why am I here? Tombstone me right the fuck now!"

:rofl:

[krispos42]

60. Ahhh... Walt Starr

[DS1]

3. not to sound cheesy, but SOteric

That woman can rattle off facts about anything, then explain their significance. And is far better looking than Palin, with a much nicer voice.

[PeaceNikki]

5. Cheeseball!

:P

Just kidding, I think it's a FABULOUS choice!

[SOteric]

22. I warn you,

there's fromage in this post:

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Vive le fromage! Vive la Colby!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. you. i respect your intellect.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Thank you! You honor me.

Is it the mephitic logorrhea?

[puerco-bellies]

7. I would introduce babylonsister and step away from the podium.

She would destroy all comers.

[Guava Jelly]

10. buddhamama

'cause she's one smart mother bleeper!

[Forkboy]

38. I'd pick her, but she'd have me giggling all through the proceedings.

:D

[Guava Jelly]

51. The public might just eat that up though?

She could do her Palin impression. "Debating is hard" :P

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Girlincontempt is always on point.

I choose her.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. You,

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. Thank you! I am honored that you think so.

Is it the gin-fueled avalanche of profanity-laden rage?

[Midlodemocrat]

20. It's that yesterday when a freeper radio show host

called me unhinged, devious and foul mouthed, I felt a little proud of myself.

I thought, "Midlo, you know who should be here to enjoy this? Rabrrrrrr."

[KamaAina]

13. Twelve posts and no Will Pitt?

Have you guys jumped the shark??

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. There's one for Walt Starr, that's close to Will Pitt.

[KamaAina]

17. In the DU phone book, maybe.

Last year's edition, anyway. :P

[jobycom]

25. Dayyumm. I know that's not true.

I've seen both of them ask to be banned, and Walt did it in far fewer words. Will couldn't type that few words if he had to.

Love ya, Will. Blame Rabrrrrr (lost count) for this one. :rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

15. I'd bring Skittles, because she'd kick their damn ass.

[Marrah_G]

46. Skittles scares me-

[bicentennial_baby]

21. I can't decide...You, DS1 or JVS...

Tough choice.

[Rabrrrrrr]

59. Excellent choices - I'd be quite confident with either at my side, that's for sure.

Especially of the debate parameters allowed access to photoshop during the debate, then I'd definitely want DS1.

[jobycom]

24. Well, if I'm looking for someone to create a string of bombastic rhetorical questions

I know where to turn. :rofl:

Otherwise, I'd go with Lionnesspriyanka. Who the heck could resist her? Nobody would even notice how many of my thoughtful, data-laden responses were pulled out my, um, posterior orifice, with her smiling disarmingly while asking pithy and incisive questions.

[Texasgal]

26. DS1

He's naughty. }(

[DS1]

27. aww

:blush:


and who needs a good fucking up? I'll rip their shit apart.

[Mojambo]

28. I would choose WetzelBill

Because if things get really bad he could score a take down on my opponent and dish out some ground and pound while I come up with a brilliant response.

[Ptah]

29. Easy. I would choose Whoa_Nelly.

A formidable woman that can play the piano.

She is an intellectually curious, passionate educator.

I've seen her take a stand, and relentlessly destroy her foe.

:thumbsup:

[Whoa_Nelly]

61. WoW!

:blush:

[BlueJazz]

30. You.

[Dr. Strange]

31. Probably MrCoffee.

Nothing beats a well-timed "So's your face."

In the event that MrCoffee is unable to fulfill his obligations, I'll go with a genetic amalgam of DS1, turtlensue, Orrex, and EstimatedProphet.

[TZ]

33. I'm glad you included me!

I'd be very handy if your opponent was a male..I'd be sure to wear my Little Red Riding Hood costume and distract them..oh wait...That might not be so helpful to YOU....:evilgrin:

[Forkboy]

32. The Magistrate.

[Arkansas Granny]

37. My choice too. I can't think of anyone with a better understanding of the issues.

[Forkboy]

39. It's actually an insult to call him my "wingman".

He should be squad leader. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

42. Agreed. It would be like Obama being Palin's wingman.

But, a smart leader always gets people who are smarter than he/she is to work with.

[Forkboy]

43. Did you just call me Palin?

;)

[Fire Walk With Me]

44. No, they meant "Anyone else would Palin comparison to you."

[Forkboy]

48. Oh. Well then...

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

58. Not specifically.

:blush:

:hi:

[fizzgig]

47. he was the first one who came to mind

[The Magistrate]

62. Thank You, My Friend

"The key is to keep moving and look like you know where you're going."

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

34. Mmmm.

EstimatedProphet.
The Magistrate.
jpgray.
PelosiFan.

I'm sure I forget someone obvious.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. marmar...I think he is brilliant. n/t

[tismyself]

36. JanMichael

Got a mind that can go from wide scatter shot to surgical strike laser points in .007 seconds flat.

And if that fails, he can probably whomp up side someone's haid with a beer mug or sumpim.

And if THAT fails, God help up all... he'll bring out his secret weapon. Whew, don't get me going on that. :scared:

[Fire Walk With Me]

40. Grovelbot.

They'd never stand a chance.

[Lucian]

41. You.

[Marrah_G]

45. So many good choices to pick from, It HAS to be LostinVA for me!

[Bossy Monkey]

49. Wait! You're seriously asking who is DU's master debater

and it took this long and fell to me to point this out? The Lounge is sadly slipping.:P

[Fire Walk With Me]

50. Oy. We need a time out at Olive Garden.

[DS1]

52. bunco bunco boxwine minivan porch toll bunco

:banghead:

[Midlodemocrat]

54. And to think I loved you before tonight.

[jpgray]

53. Too many good choices out there

Couldn't even begin to narrow it down. I'd need to bring along a whole corps of like-minded asshats to get the job done.

[Ava]

55. this is such an obvious choice for me

Skittles! because if i were losing she'd respond with "you want i'll kick their ass?" :rofl:

[OhioChick]

56. Skittles

'Nuff said. :)

[Awsi Dooger]

57. OnTheOtherHand

I've seen him dominate about 1000 debates in Election Reform
