I’ll throw some basics here, you can add in the comments:
“failed Obama policies”- drink
“job creators”- drink
“wealth creators”- drink
“hard working Americans”- drink
“Obamacare”- drink
“cut taxes and regulations”- drink
“apology tour”- chug
“abortion on demand”- chug
“out of touch”- chug
“War on Coal”- chug
“Rev. Wright”- butt chug a gallon of Franzia.
And finally, if seen in the comments, “FYWP” or some variation, small sip. I don’t want anyone dying, so let’s keep it to a sip.

This is more of a Hospitalization Game than it is a Drinking Game, surely …

Job creators and cut taxes? You trying to kill us?
I’m going to take a drink anytime a dead person is referenced by name. Reagan. JFK. FDR. Mitt’s dad. Obama’s mom. OBL. Ambassador Chris Stevens. You get the picture.

Hmmm…..I’m thinking this would use up my portion of alcohol for the next three months or so.

Lionesses and Hyenas are pretty evenly matched. The lionesses are bigger but the hyenas are a little quicker, smarter and outnumber the lionesses. Neither is afraid of the other. Hyenas will usually have the slight upper hand versus lionesses.
But then a lion will come in from a lengthy patrol and chase down a hyena, maul it and break its back in an astonishing display of speed, strength and raw savagery.

@Just Some Fuckhead: I’ve been fascinated by this lioness-hyena faceoff. Hyenas always look like golems to me.

I watched the NGC special and for about three-quarters of the show, lionesses were just getting pummeled, by cobras, hyenas, other rival prides..
Then the lion showed up, mauled a couple of hyenas and I found myself standing up, cheering.

Libyan conspiracy (sigh I’m sure it’s been mentioned in the 5,000 posts above – whatever).
Ok, Obama killed the new Panda baby. I’ve seen all the most recent posts unless there are some I haven’t seen and therefore don’t know that they exist. (Rumsfeld: known-knowns known-unknowns, unknown-unknowns.)
