Let’s face it, the debates can get boring for even the most engaged political junkie. To make the night a more pleasurable experience, turn the debate into a drinking game using these rules:
• Begin the game by taking a drink* for each American flag on the stage.
• Take a drink each time Jim Lehrer cuts a candidate’s response short or one candidate interrupts the other.
• Take a drink each time Mitt Romney says: deficit, ObamaCare, 16 (as in the $16 trillion debt), Paul Ryan, fiscal cliff, Ronald Reagan, stimulus, unemployed or unemployment, family, illegal immigration, Solyndra, domestic energy production or Ann (his wife).
• Take a drink each time Barack Obama says: millionaires, RomneyCare (or mentions the Massachusetts health care law), 47 (as in the 47 percent of Americans Romney claims are dependent on government), GM, Bill Clinton, middle class, hope, change, marriage equality, climate change, renewable energy or Michelle (his wife).
