Will You Watch Any Of The Republican Convention?

[ThomWV]

I don't have any intention to watch any of it myself. Actually I pretty much expect that I will forgo my Morning Edition as well because the Convention is all they will be covering. I've got a couple of audio books on tape I should listen to anyway.

How much attention do you plan to give the thug-fest?

By the way, did you see the replay of Bush's 200 Convention acceptance speach that was shown on C-Span 2 right after Kerry's speach last night. Aside from his inability to speak it was shocking to me to see how much he has aged in the last 4 years. He looked like a teenager then compared to a very tired aging man now.

[BayouBengal07]

1. I'll be watching

To see if the media treats theirs as unfairly as they treated ours.

[Cha]

10. And what can we do if they don't?

[TrustingDog]

22. I'll be watching as well...

have a feeling it ain't gonna be as lively and spirited as the dnc.
bunch of sourpuss fundie warmongering dark lords - how fun can That be?

[Lerkfish]

32. precisely

They better have the SAME ratio of dem pundits to counterbalance the RNC...
If they don't (and they wont) it will be clear to everyone finally that the myth of the liberal media is just that: a myth.

[Birthmark]

2. I'll probably watch some of it.

I can use the laughs.

[sundog]

3. Doubtful... I don't like to willfully invite negative vibes into my life

[Cha]

12. I could't even watch it in 2000 and I knew nothing about

politics then..all gut feeling.

[onecitizen]

4. No nt

[pinniped]

5. F no.

F *!

[jjmalonejr]

6. Yes

[ClintonTyree]

7. Know thine enemy.............

I'll watch every minute. Valium will be the drug du jour to achieve this lofty goal, otherwise I'd lose it.

[JohnLocke]

14. Ditto.

[jdj]

38. not valium for me. Immodium AD, Kaopectate, PeptoBismol,

and any anti-nausea medicine I can get my hands on, to keep my dinner down. I call them re-pukes for a reason, watch them and you won't puke just once.

[Kolesar]

8. I think I'd rather go clean the grout in the shower

or have dental work.

[Cha]

17. I'd have dental work too and that's about the worst thing

I can think of.

[Nimrod]

9. Yep

At least long enough to see if my buddy Falwell really IS opening the show. I want to record that to rub in the face of a few repub friends of mine.

[Jokinomx]

18. Nimrod... are you a Yooper.??? :-)

[Nimrod]

26. Since...

...I have no idea what that means, I'll say maybe. :)

[Jokinomx]

29. LOL

A Yooper is a person that is native to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In other words the U.P....downstaters are called Lopers....

Anyway... there is a small town in the U.P. that uses the name Nimrod as their H.S. mascot.

I think they are the Watersmeet Nimrods.... hehehe.. Jay Leno had the basketball team on the Tonight Show a while back... espn used them in a commercial also...

If your local blockbuster has it.. there is a movie written and directed by Jeff Daniels called "Escanaba in Da Moonlight"... it is a hilarious movie about a hunting camp in the U.P with a Family of Yoopers trying to get their buck...... not a blockbuster but.. funny non the less... :-)

[DoomFook]

11. No I wont

because the paint drying channel is on and I can't miss the special on fucsia.

[KittyWampus]

36. That Was Funny!

:D

[linazelle]

13. You won't be able to ignore it--they will saturate the media markets

This is what you will see and hear:

Bush will be lauded as the greatest orator ever;

NO protestors will object to the convention or Bush;

Everybody will have makeovers--Barbara, Jenna, Laura...Barbara Sr., CIA involved/Saudi-rep Poppy...

And all of the balloons will drop on time. :eyes:

[Cha]

19. Actually you just reminded me that there will be almost a

Million protesters in NYC and that's going to get some attention. I was going to go but after the uplifting of the Dem convention i don't think I want to. There will be plenty of People there and I want to save my travel for the Inaugeration.

[Jokinomx]

15. I could only handle small doses... otherwise I would puke...

I also agree with BayouBengal07 about the very little time the national networks covered the DNC ... and will be watching to see how much time they give the rnc... I heard on NPR today.. the national networks covered less than three hours of prime time of the convention.... that is the least amount of time since coverage started back in the 40's. The scary thing is.. this is probably the most important election since then... at least in my lifetime.. and I was born in 56...

[Poiuyt]

16. I doubt it, I'm afraid I might

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[aquart]

20. Oh, yes.

I want to know exactly how they plan to spew.

And, really, with their record, what are they going to do? Four days on gay marriage?

[union_maid]

21. I doubt it

I don't think my husband will permit it on the TV and I have blood pressure problems so he's probably right. I'll be looking here for coverage.

[Beloved Citizen]

23. Life is too short

...to watch a bunch of Republicans fatsos trying to look like they're having fun.

[imax2268]

24. I would

rather watch mud thicken...

[hang a left]

25. I think I will tune in to the prime time spots. I think I will pass on al

bla bla bla. I am expected the contrast to be stark. I will hold my nose and listen and learn.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

27. Yes, I always watch both conventions.

I like politics and am not super-partisan. Its good to hear what the GOP has to say, too...

[Junkdrawer]

28. Anyone remember Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail?

Hunter Thompson circa 1972

[Jokinomx]

31. I would love to have Hunter S... cover the rnc...

He was such a great writer... How about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas... absolutely hilarious....

[DemoTex]

34. Read it again. Now. In fact, it is a must read.

Shark hunt. Nixon expose. I'm dusting off my copy. Read it, fools! Then cry big time.

[theoceansnerves]

30. it's going to be hilarious

seriously, it's going to be a fucking laugh fest. i can't wait to see who they trot out. arnold and bush of course will be especially awesome. i can't wait for arnold to drop a couple of terminator lines to get the crowd riled up!

[DieboldMustDie]

33. Will Air America be covering it?

That could be worth listening to. :evilgrin:

[Catherine Vincent]

35. No.

I don't do republicans.

[senseandsensibility]

37. He hasn't aged

from sleepless nights and hard work, that's one safe bet. I wonder what's caused the aging. Any ideas? :beer: I've also noticed the whoremedia shows four year old pictures of the chimp whenever they can. They are actively hiding his unattractive appearance and weight gain. No, I won't watch it. I'll count on my friends here to inform me of the various outrages from the repukes AND the media.
