Poll question: Who is going to watch the RNC next week?
I will be watching. I wouldn't miss it!

I think it will go over like a fart in church, and I sure wouldn't want to miss them making asses of themselves.

I also want to see if it will at least fill an auditorium holding 10K, without blow-up dolls.

Oh, and I plan to have a barf bag handy, just in case.

1. I'll be watching out for them
But I don't think that is the same as watching them. They are invading my neighborhood. I am just hoping for peaceful coexistence.

3. Oh, they have invaded my neighborhood too. I live on a busy corner, and
people kept stealing the Democratic signs in my yard during the primaries.

I had several, and kept putting one back up. :D

12. I'll trade places with you
The parade route of the protesters is on the other side of the block I love on. That is the edge of the 'free speech' zone. I'd rather worry about a yard sign getting taken over possible riots on the street where I live.

32. If there are riots it will be due to heavy handed
police tactics, of course the protesters will be blamed.

Just the speeches though, not all the in between stuff, video montages, interviews of delegates in stupid hats, etc.

15. I'll catch the highlights on C-Span
But refuse to watch it live. Neither my blood pressure nor my equanimity can take that much abuse.

24. "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" - Godfather
Although, I don't watch Fixed News or the puke shows, nor listen to puke radio shows.

But I think the RNC will be pathetic, and I have to see that.

I just can't stomach it. I understand where you are coming from, though.

It's not warranted and neither am I deserving.

But, thank you for the compliment, all the same.

It has gained me many friends over the years, and just as many enemies.

For now.

But, something tells me that my poll will be swarmed by morning.

actually due to Gustav. Bush/Crashcart NOT attending. Shorter and more low key event? Stay tuned.

36. What I dread isn't the RNC convention, it's all the posts here on DU
about the convetion. I am sure there will be a million hand wringing posts crying about the media coverage and all the aweful things the repukes say about us. It's polics we have our convention talking about how good we are and how bad they are, and they have theirs doing the same thing. Yet so many people fail to understand or appreciate this simple point.

Much like I watched the 700 Club daily during the Clinton years. That was some funny, funny shit.

I can't stand listening to the lies, lies, and more lies coming out of their mouths. I get too fucking angry and shout at them on the TV. I don't need that shit; I'll read the lowlights in the paper, and on DU, the next day.

48. OMFG! I am watching the repeats now, and I had to eat something the first time, lest I'd puke.
The dip shit in chief? Well, I always want to slap that arrogant grin off his face. And this was the longest time I ever listened to his nauseating voice in 8 years.

And LIEberman. UGH! That pig had the nerve to call himself a Democrat several times!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

What I DID enjoy, was that an auditorium for 10K was half empty. Hmmmmm. LOL! After Obama held 85K and standing room last week!

McAsshole is toast. :)

49. I used to.
I used to watch all of both conventions. But after what the 'pubs did to this country (and world) over the last eight years I can't stand to look at them. I still watch the Dems, though.

Now that it's going on, I just can't bring myself to watch it.

It does look kinda chintzy compared to the Democratic convention, though. :7
