Will you watch the RNC?

[Endangered Specie]

Curious.

[22181]

1. Keeping my friends close and my enemies closer...

n/t

[K-W]

2. I have too many breakable things in my living room.

[VolcanoJen]

3. When it comes to my political junkie habit, I'm non-partisan.

I'm looking forward to the Repubs in New York... it ought to be entertaining.

In my mind's eye, I have a vision of Wayne Newton introducing Dick Cheney now... I mean, who wouldn't tune in for that?

Republican Conventions are often more humorous than our own. Remember Pat Buchanan's speech in '88? :D

[bossfish]

4. I want to compare the media "spin"

I fully expect to see a number of Dems on the commentary teams (not).

And I think the Buchanan speech was 1992....

(Molly Ivins said the real impact was when you heard it in the original German)

[Endangered Specie]

9. lol to Molly Ivins.

[Tyler Durden]

5. I would rather shit in my own hand and eat it warm.

Any Republican who would participate in the nomination of that man would be someone I would pay money to see hung.

Navy Style (that's with a noose around your neck AND your ankles, then hauled up to a yardarm like a signal flag).

[Endangered Specie]

6. Arent you forgetting Keel Hauling?

Preferably on an aircraft carrier or oil tanker.

[Tyler Durden]

13. But then they are UNDER WATER!

You don't get to watch them choke, shit and piss themselves. That's half the fun. No actually that's ALL the fun.

[Endangered Specie]

14. Perhaps we can hook up some camers on the hull,

there so small you can fit them anywhere.

[Tyler Durden]

16. But you still won't hear them gagging and choking.

Plus they'll be soaked. You won't see them piss their pants. That's like watching the "pan and scan" version.

I WANT WIDESCREEN!

[Tyler Durden]

7. Actually, the riots I'm hoping for might be interesting.

Except for the fact that the Right Wing/FAUX Media won't be carrying it. Anyone know about any live streams?

[Stew225]

8. What? Not watch and miss

the First Chimp in a "live" scenario?

[alonso_quijano]

10. Of course!

You can't get entertainment like that every day! Except on Fox, CNN, etc.

[napi21]

11. I won't watch the whole thing, but selective spots.

I will pay attention to who they have speaking, and choose those that won't make me entirely CRAZY! I will also be interested to hear what the talking heads have to say. I must say, I will be watching for blunders (and sure hope I see some)!

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. Over my dead body.

You couldn't pay me enough money to watch that. I'll be tuned into The Food Network or TLC again. They were my refuge during the Reagan funeralfest.

[fdr_hst_fan]

18. Why bother?

If you listen to Oxy Rushbo and Handjob Hannity, then you've already BEEN there!
:puke:

[flordehinojos]

15. I will but the t.v. will be on mute

although i do want to see the images.:)

[Paradise]

17. "Know thine enemy! ;) n/t

[Tyler Durden]

20. If you're not sure by now, you live in a vacuum! (Just joshin' yah).

Seriously, the last 4 years have given me GERD, doubled my frequency of anxiety attacks, and alientated me from family members and co-workers, so it limits my ability to tolerate watching them on TV.

FAUX has not crossed my screen (except as a momentary image while surfing) in YEARS. I don't plan on starting now.

[Paradise]

23. ROFLMAO (and that's a first, for me, on DU)!

Y O U
A R E
S O
R I G H T,
T Y L E R!

(Wish I could take that friggin' stupid, asinine reply back!) ROFLMAO

[Paradise]

24. oh, btw, Tyler, what is GERD, 'cause i swear

i think i got it, too, and it :hurts: !

:yourock:

(can't stop laughing. oh no, could it be, i'm a masochist?)

[floridaguy]

19. Absolutely - "Know the enemy"

:grr:

[demosincebirth]

21. I don't do "fools" well.

[MrBenchley]

22. Jerry Falwell is going to give the opening invocation

How can any comedy fan miss that?

[louis-t]

25. Why, to hear * say

"terra, terra, served proudly, hate us for our freedom, economy strong, getting stronger..."? I've heard all of that. They have nothing new in their narrow minded, hypnotic little book of evil. What can they say that compares to "Republicans NEED to have the country divided"?

[AP]

26. I always try, but I usually can't take more than a few minutes because

their speeches really insult the intelligence of the viewers.

They presume their audience is made up of idiots. If I were a Republican I'd be so insulted that my party thought so little of me. I think the only Republicans who can stand the convention are the ones who think every other Republican is stupid and is glad that their party shares that opinion.
