Any chance the Republicans will talk about something other than 9/11 on Tuesday?
Is it me or does anyone notice that at the Republican debates, they only talk about 9/11, abortion, and school prayer? Do they even discuss health care, education, environment, gas prices, etc.? I just can't wait to see how many times those fuckers try to scare us tomorrow by talking about how 'they're coming over to get us if we don't stay' and all that other BS.

1. It's hard to talk about those other issues, because . . .
. . . they don't believe health care is a problem. If you have money, you have care. Easy.

. . . they would just as soon abolish public education as fix it.

. . . global warming? It's just God's judgment on gays and unbelievers. Get used to it.

. . . gas prices - see number one above.

What's left to talk about?

7. Well, now you're talking about topics they CAN talk about.
There's certainly Iran. And gays/lesbians/bisexuals/transgenders. And ILLEGALS don't forget ILLEGALS.

3. Someone needs to hit them up about contractors in Iraq
W has expanded military might by using our taxes to pay mercenaries.

9. I hope that they do
cause I want to hear Ron Paul check up on Rudy and see if he has done his homework since the last debate. This could be quite funny to watch him take down the Ghoul for us. Paul is getting around too, he's been on Maher and tonight on Colbert. Presented with some facts it could get interesting hearing them all deny the truth.

16. Maybe they will talk about voter caging and the Judiciary hearing, plus Civil Rights issues.
:sarcasm:

These people need psychiatric assistance before their atypical political paranoia progresses to global bi-polar disorder.

Several local Republicans dropped off some comic book literature stating that "Satan's Spiritual Structure" includes "liberal Christian religions" plus caffine and depression. The literature espouses that to preserve the Declaration of Independence "we need to know the Word of God, The Bible, the Gospel of Jesus Christ" and that the Founders understood "obedience to God." It states "Our Founding Fathers understood that man could not live without direction from God, and neither could a nation. ... Humanism is an enemy of God and our nation." And that humanism "is the spirit of the anti-christ."

I'm not kidding. I wish I had a video of their ranting and raving. I spent hours listening to get a better idea of their state of mind and Republican beliefs. They know they will have everlasting and eternal life in heaven and the humanists will burn in hell forever. They are praying for me so I will not burn forever.

I attempted to convey the notion of belief systems, to no avail. They cannot distinguish their own beliefs from reality, or accept the concept that their world view could possibly be anything but precisely correct. After all, God is on their side of the argument, and I am in league with Satan since I do not completely agree with them. They equate liberal with the devil, period, and, things won't be right until God rules our nation. And, they are the ones who know God's will, of course. What an experience!!

19. Reminds me of Jesus Freaks of the 70's
They will gradually burn themselves out. They go from one dependency addition to the next. Like W.

23. In the first debate
they all tried to OUT-REAGAN each other...

2nd debate was a ball measuring contest - who had the bigger balls on terra

In this one I think they will all be pretending the podiums are really pulpits and it will be a "I'm holier than thou" recital
