Beer and politics. Two things that don’t usually mix well, come together to form the somewhat tasteful show, Pub Politics. On October 6th 2010 College Republican Chairman Chelsie Paulson and College Democrats Chairman Austin Jackson were special guests on this week’s edition of this fast growing show. The jabs started early when Paulson ‘iced’ one of the hosts Wesley Donehue. For the better half of the hour the two groups debated their different political insight on current news. No politician was safe from ridicule as a man in a chicken suit walked on camera with a “Rob Miller is too chicken to stick with Nancy Pelosi” sign. Some of the hot topics discussed were, Nikki Haley’s proposal for mandatory drug testing of recipients of unemployment benefits, Rob Miller divorcing himself from Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the campaign trail and Joe Wilson’s laughable attacks against his military projects that are being lobbed by the liberal smear machine.
By the end of the night it was clear the big winners were the College Republicans. They outmatched the Democrats in attendance and in valid arguments. They also outnumbered the Democrats 4 to 1 with guest speakers. If one thing was learned from the October 6, 2010 episode of Pub Politics it’s that the College Republicans truly is “the best party on campus.”
