How about give them each 50 points and they lose a point each time they tell a lie. First one to zero gets kicked out of the debate. Then do the same with the election.
Just a microphone cut off switch would go a long way to encourage brevity. A large team of verifiers who have thoroughly gone over video and audio of both candidates and can quickly provide nearly real time verification resulting in points being given for lie and misleading statements would also be good. Twould be like golf. Highest score loses.Then, maybe the voters would have a better chance to win.Respectfully,C.
no, electrodes to their sex organs. that would be fun to watch and maybe sterilize them, so they don’t have more tax paying leeches. no more Bristols, Taggs, etc.
No real injuries. For a politician the worst thing that happens is a blow to image. No towels to wipe off, they have to leave what they can’t wipe off with hands. I also suggest coconut creme and lemon meringue.
Candidates are only saying stuff that the electorate want to hear. Maybe we should punish the VOTERS for expecting too much from government (like free phones).
I don’t watch ‘em. Haven’t for years. Nothing but dog and pony shows for the low information voter. I’m looking forward to the month after the elections that will be relatively free of political ads, political crap mail and robo calls.But in Dec. or Jan. the election cycle will crank up again. Aargh!
Number Six, hey that’s the reason I haven’t replied….I didn’t think this was political enough to warrant political discussions….But……I vote for apple pie, blueberry pie or cherry pie…..
.And remember, thanks to Al Sharpton we know now that it was the republicans that were eating the blueberry pie…..
I am continuously saddened disheartened and disappointed that we, the American people, continue to limit ourselves to a choice between two liars. Don’t think about it too long though; you will depress yourself. These are the comics, and we are here to escape the banality of life.
I read all of your posts and I respect what you say very much. Please, do not mistake the statement by Coffman to be about the birther thing. I have been reading Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father”. I do not belive that President Obama has the best interest of the entire United States at heart. The man wants to come off as a modern day Robin Hood but he has had too much influence from anti- American advisors. I pray we all can survive this terrible phase in the life of our country to become the “United States of America” again.
Make them stand in a bucket of warm saltwater when answering questions or making statements. For every incorrect one zap the water from a 12 car battery for half a second(it’s more annoying that way).

Yah, by not letting presidential wanna-bes get belligerent with the sitting president. It’s not Jerry Springer, after all.

Make the pies of reinforced concrete. The one with the least need for reconstructive surgury wins.

Watchable? It’s true. So far they haven’t been watchable. I agree with poppy1313. Soupy Sales would have been perfect for the job.

I would prefer using fresh cow pies, they are very similar to what the speakers are putting out!

It would be kind of interesting to see Obama with pie on his face instead of egg.

We are all taking the debates a bit too seriously, and a bit a humor is sorely needed.

there should also be a mute button so when one guy is talking the other dumbass can’t keep chiming in with his 2 cents.

It would be even more fun in the primaries. We could allow the other contenders to throw the pies. Maybe equal the pie fight from The Great Race!
