Kabuki Theater

That's what these Republican debates are, and that includes the crowd's "participation".

The right wing PTB's goal for the 2012 elections is not to win the Presidency.

It is to advance their goal of the destruction of our government.

They will use the 2012 campaign season to help pull the malleable electorate ever further to the right because this helps them achieve this goal.

Presenting the appearance of a further rightward shift in the electorate by the stylized reactions of the audience will eventually make that shift a fact.

2. I think it is actually more like early 20th century Grand Guignol

Theater. Theater of Horrors....
