Poll question: Will YOU Watch Coverage of the RNC?
Will you watch news coverage of the Republican National Convention?

I plan on it, but that's because I believe you have to keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. ;)

1. I will, but only certain parts. Not going to do an all day thing..
We'll be needing some "Talking Points" afterward anyway, eh?

3. I hate hillbilly music and
crackpot religion leaves me cold. I'll probably rent movies, read the blow by blow description from people who don't mind that sort of thing.

7. Yup. But its going to be painful.
I'll watch it on PBS just like I did the DNC. I hope my television survives the things I'll want to throw at it. "YOU'RE LYING!!! ARGH!!!"

8. I'm tuning in to
watch Hillary sharpen up her knife and dissect the repugs after their speeches!!!

Good times ahead!!! She is going to be fantastic--and the haters are going to be ballistic! I am getting really excited about watching her commentary!

9. Chicken Pox
I think I am coming down with Chicken Pox. Or maybe West Nile Virus. Or maybe I just need to catch up on my laundry. OR my naps.

Yawn.

15. Air America rules...
I used to love watching both conventions on the only station with balanced coverage...Comedy Central. Too bad Comedy Central gave that up, but at least we still have Al Franken! :thumbsup:

18. Must count twisted use of Scripture
Can't help it- it has become an obsession of mine
to record all twisting of the Bible by these false x-tians.

20. Too expensive.
I can't afford to buy the half-dozen or so new TVs I'd be throwing things through if I had to watch that hateful pack of God-bothering mouth-breathers.

21. I'll muddle through Bush's acceptance speech, but that's it
Edited on Tue Aug-24-04 11:34 PM by rocknation
"...(T)he Republican convention will focus on slogans, excuses, and attack politics...(T)hey’ll bend over backwards with last-minute proposals and last-minute promises to make up for all they haven’t done, and to pretend they’re not who they are. In fact, pretending to be something they’re not may be the single most consistent thing about them, because that’s what they’ve been doing all along."
-- President John F. Kerry, New York, NY 8/24/04

27. Of course, it's the biggest show on the farewell tour !!
I'll only get to see the PBS coverage, though.

Plus, my doctor prescribed it for my low blood pressure problem. ;)
