4. no, you gotta hear it
you need to know the spin these events are going to get - because the folks you're going to be trying to swing over to Kerry are listening to this crap and licking it up.

6. No you really don't have to hear it
watch C-SPAN and protect your health - no vein popping on C-SPAN.

19. I doubt that it's in Canada.
C-SPAN is funded by our cable companies and it's for covering our Senate and House of Representatives....Government issues. I feel sorry for you if you have to watch CNN....they have truly gone to the dark side. :(

30. No kidding...

I already know their spin. Backward, forward and sideways; I can counter it. I'm watching C-SPAN, and my circulatory system is thanking me for it. Plus I am hearing ENTIRE speeches. How novel. :-)

3. DH was watching CNN. I made him switch to C-span.
Much better coverage and less talk from the "journalists".

41. the thing is... we don't know...
repugs have a way about them in bringing up these things over and over again.... one possible accident can equate to a whole hog war somewhere out there in Iraq.... thousands of Mary Jo's die. but heh, that's capitalism and keeping freedom for gluttonity....
I do not believe Teddy deliberately killed Mary Jo... do YOU?

42. The Trolls Are Coming Out In Full Force
Guess the convention must be hitting some nerves.

I love the smell of desperation in the evening.

15. STEP AWAY FROM THE REMOTE ...
... keep it on C-Span. The cable networks won't show you any of the good speeches. I'm still miffed that they gabbed all the way through Rev. David Alston's rockin' speech last night. I KNOW that would have changed some minds in the heartland if it had been allowed to be HEARD!

Turn to CSpan and bypass all that cynicism. No commentary, no commercials. Why help CNN's ratings?

23. DK is in Canada and poor thing can't get c-span or
any other station without the talking heads.

Maybe you could get it on the web? Sorry for what you're going through.

17. I'm stuck with PBS...
this is the first time in a looooong time I've even turned the tv on. I dislike pundits, as if the American people were too stupid to understand what is going on without their boorish commentary. And who's this David Brooks fuck? If anyone reading this is there in Boston, kick him in the nuts for me, will you? Thanks!

40. This is such old news
At the time, Kennedy had a vote with the Mass voters on whether he should leave office over Chappaquidick. They overwhelming voted for him to stay in office.

GET OVER IT.
