How many times did you sit through a Bush speech, debate or press event in the last 6 years?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Only count the times you watched him from the beginning of the speech and made it through to the end.

[BeachBuckeye]

1. Sadly, I have to watch them all

If I'm going to comment on them on the show I need to know what I'm talking about. I usually have a headache after he is finished speaking. Then again, sometimes he provides some pretty damned good comic relief:)

[The Backlash Cometh]

2. I was too depressed to watch him in the first four years, and too

frightened to watch him in the last two.

[lligrd]

7. I Feel For You

Though I do see the point about comic relief. I am so happy I get to just see what you who are brave enough to watch him post or show afterwards.

[acmejack]

10. Ah, so you're the other guy that watches them then!

I knew there were other masochists out there...

[annabanana]

3. I have such high intentions. . .

I plan to watch for oppo research, ready to highlight his idiocies and inconsistencies for the cube-rats. . . .but . . about 5 minutes in I begin to feel woozy, lost in mangled syntax and babble, irritated by the "you third graders have to unnerstand its hard" crap that I have to turn the channel, and leave the cube-rats to others with stronger constitutions than I.

[The Backlash Cometh]

4. I think the reason why it's so difficult to connect with him, is that

he's catering to his own supporters. I never felt he was ever talking directly to me or addressing my concerns.

[hermetic]

5. His smirky face

makes me feel ill and his voice is worse than fingernails on a blackboard.

[liberaldemocrat7]

6. Most instances when I see the chimp I either turn the sound off

and watch him, or listen to him but don't watch him, or rarely I will watch and listen to him.

I consider Bush a miserable failure as Dick Gephart once described him years ago.

The sooner he rides off into the sunset back to Texass like Godzilla slithered back into the water, the better.

[lligrd]

8. I Am Still In Denial

and refuse to accept that he is our Chimp-in-Chief.

[sarge43]

9. I've never watched or listened to him for the same reason I

would never go to the geek show at a third rate carney. I admire anyone who can, especially for reporting purposes. Thank you. I do read his stupidities; that's taking more than enough for the team.

[LWolf]

11. Other:

Never.

I watch very little tv, and really don't like listening to political pundits spouting rhetoric and hot air, so I don't watch or listen to talk shows. Listening to GWB is bad for my health; it makes me angry and raises my stress levels. So I never watch or listen to him. I'll read a summary of his remarks the next day in the paper.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. I watched the debates before the 2004 'election' just to laugh at his

nonsense and I actually watched his entire speech to the UN in 2003 and the SOTU 2003. That's it. Never will listen to him again.

[Nimrod2005]

13. 4 times total...3 were the debates in 2004.

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. The debates sealed it for me.

I was so convinced he was the wrong choice, that I must have tried to block him out from that point on.

[PADemD]

15. I only watched the debates; otherwise, the mute button has been my friend for the past 6 years.

[etherealtruth]

16. I tried to watch most of his televised speeches during his first term

I have always thought that it was important to "know my enemy".

By the end of his first term I felt so angry/disgusted/embarrassed that I couldn't watch more than a few seconds of him.

Now, I just read the text of his speech and avoid listening or watching him all together. Its too painful

[FloridaPat]

17. Watched him the first four years to count all they lies he was telling.

After the 2004 debates, I just can't stand him anymore. He is incable of telling the truth and so much evil is flowing from him, it almost makes me physically sick.

[rocktivity]

18. Listen to Bush's speeches WITHOUT listening to Bush's speeches

with the handy dandy Bush Speech Modulator!

You're welcome.

rocknation

[bullimiami]

19. rarely. some parts of some debates or some 'important' speeches.

until i got so annoyed I couldnt take anymore.

[porphyrian]

20. Just like televangelists, I can only watch about two minutes before getting pissed off.

I managed to go a little further watching the debates, but I was often nearly breaking things and would have to leave the room ranting.

[tom_paine]

21. Options B and C both

[left is right]

22. I haven't watched or heard more than a few seconds at any given time since he slimed McCain in 2000

I immediately mute or change the channel as soon as I see or hear him. I have been known to fling my headphones across my desk at work to avoid hearing him. during the debates of 2000 and 2004, I always muted him and un-muted for Gore or Kerry. By the way, my initial repugnance for * had little to do with McCain. I just realized that this was a particularly mean-spirited, stupid man
