2. I've got

Want to hear what these losers have to say. It's important to "know thy enemy."

3. No.
Because I know that the questions asked will highlight their accomplishments and allow them to talk about their policy plans whereas the only substantial time given to Democrats was to answer questions about $400 haircuts.
I bet they won't be asking the repubs to "raise their hands in answer".

4. I will watch it for a few minutes, until my gag reflex kicks in.
I have a very low threshold for GOP spin these days.

When they start talking about their values, ethics, morals, their wonderful "leaders" :eyes:, how great Reagan was, etc., while ignoring the corruption, lies, war in Iraq, etc., I will have to switch to something else more palatable.

Plus, I have a very small window of tolerance for Tweety as well.

The GOP candidates are a pretty bland bunch. No spark at all.

5. I love politics too much to not watch
Plus, that old rule of war: KNOW YOUR ENEMY.

6. Fuck no. I only have one TV.
There is not one single thing they can say that would change my mind about anything, but there are many things they will likely say that will make me furious.

If anything interesting happens, I'll catch it on Crooks & Liars.

14. Yes.
I do not think the republicans have and strong candidates now, but I still think it is important to keep an eye on them, for the same reasons the Southern Poverty Law Center watches other hate groups.

37. It's less messy if you slam it in the bathroom, instead
But wherever you like it, congratulations on loving yourself in a hateful world.

36. So instead, they'll focus on GOP successes, the popularity of the war, & the need for tax cuts...
But obviously, yes, it's not like the Republicans are going to negative on us or each other just to win.

23. No. Cannot stomach the thought of the lying, cheating, thieving
Edited on Thu May-03-07 10:47 AM by mnhtnbb
Repubs competing for title of a$$hole-in-chief nomination.

Plus, I'm taking my son to the local Board of Education meeting tonight
where he'll be recognized for placing second in a state-wide competition
on German Day.

They all basically support the same Bush status-quo that has wrecked the U.S. The only change will come from a Democrat. I will be following on DU, though.

At least Matthews didn't get the Democratic debate.

but it wasn't.

33. No (other)
I am at work and will not have access to TV and the computers here don't have audio so I cannot watch a feed. I would probably watch if I didn't have to work.
