... CNN has opposing views dominating their broadcast again.
Think they'll do it?
PS - Bill Schneider will be there. What a sham!

16. I'm taking up a collection... |
|
but I'm not sure whether it's to buy you a pair of industrial strength hip-waders or to help pay for your funeral.
You are a braver man than I. ;)

I'm curious as to what message they're going to hammer on. I'm betting more lies about how the programs they have that don't work, actually do work. Maybe about how their policies that have made America less safe, has made us all safer. Toss in some anti-choice, anti-rights language against women and homosexuals...
If anything it'll make me feel even stronger about what needs to happen come November.

YOU MUST WATCH.
If for NO other reason than to see if they do what we did. No W. bashing, save Sharpton.
Fallwell is giving the invocation, that should tell you EVERYTHING you need to know.
I think we are about to see Chimpfest 2004. W is this and W is that and he TALKS TO GOD for crying out loud. This is going to be the theater of the absurd.
TELL me it is not.
CHIMPFEST 2004. Year of the silver spoon, son of the president, three failed businesses, national guard hiding, ex-alcoholic, ex-drug addict, dry drunk, psychopathic, bible thumping, scripture quoting, can't find his ass with a road map and a flashlight GEORGE W. BUSH the soon to be ousted unelected fraud of the United States of America!

I can't wait!
It's like a turd salesman looking for repeat customers. "Doesn't anyone want to buy one of my grab bags again? you might get a prize this time instead of a rotten turd?"

11. doubt it-- I have enough stress in my life already, why upset myself more? |
|
then again, I may be in a different mood when it actually happens-- but the media will be so much easier on the repubs, and that's the part that will get me the most upset...

where else can I get that odd mixture of laughing and puking at the same time?
Seriously I want to know EVERY word they say. I might not be able to stomach actually watching every minute of it, so I'll read transcripts in some cases.
But I want to be watching the prime time parts to see if anyone/anything implodes.
Also just to see how freaking boring it will be.

I can't stand what their party stands for and I dislike those that will be speaking. I've lost most of the respect I had for McCain as well.
Ironically he called Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell "forces of evil" in '00. Memories are quite short.
One thing I also will expect is the same pundits going after the democratic speakers will treat the republicans with royal gloves. They won't lay a hand on them and it will be the biggest smooch fest. You'll see Tweety swooning over Bush's "manliness" and "toughness" and drooling over Arnold's huge arms. Of course, just so anyone won't think he's gay, he'll start going on about Laura Bush. Then Fineman will be on going on about how Bush did a better job than anyone expected. Scarbrough will say he's an amazing wartime president. Zell Miller will be next....Maybe they'll have a token moderate or two, but they'll agree that Bush is ultimately a nice guy.
Sorry, I really can't see myself subjecting myself to that kind of thing. I'm not a masochist.

23. I'll watch it, just because politics is interesting. |
|
And just so I can see how it compares to the DNC, and the way things are going....they might as well not even have a convention.

and I want to see who is there supporting W. I am quite positive the music will be snoozing as compared to the great music of the Dems convention!
