THE STAR CHAMBER

I didn't know that the "debate" being held on Wednesday was not a debate.

It is a 21 minute grilling for each candidate attending by extreme right wing bullies.

GOP 2012 Candidates To Square Off Over Social Issues

Talk about a political tight rope.

The are going to be grilled on their allegiance to the bagger code and beyond. The bags, to their credit, have not embraced the so called "social issues" of the culture wars but they will be strongly up front and center in this showcase of right-wing fidelity.

Of course, anything you say in defense of your whacker bona fides can be used against you in the general.

Perry is already having to spin his boffo of a book. Bachman is probably safer from right wing bashing but that means she will be boasting about her beliefs. Romney is probably toast anyway in this kind of thing but it will be another turn of the spit for him. Paul? He isn't much for the social issues and says the same things over and over again. Cain? Oh, him.

Very interesting. The guy from Princeton sounds like a prince of a guy.
