Am I the only one that cannot bear to listen to any of this shit?

[grantcart]

For some reason my eyes are less sensitive and I can read what they are saying without gouging my eyes out but even a few seconds and I can feel a chemcial reaction starting up and a rush of testosterone and I literally want to go out and punch somebody.

Fortunately I can read it here at DU without getting the least bit aggitated.

1. For me Romney is easier to take than Bush. I could not handle listening to that man.

[MoonRiver]

7. Same for me.

I have been known to run screaming out of the room when that freak appeared on the tv.

[dkf]

14. I would have to turn the volume down.

Pure torture.

[MoonRiver]

21. SO glad I don't have to see or hear that repulsive toad anymore.

My blood pressure is a lot better now.

[Honeycombe8]

2. Me! I almost changed the channel. Such BS, and the uninformed will eat it up. nt

[Frustratedlady]

28. I put it on mute, but couldn't stand to look at Ryan, so I turned it off.

I agree. I can't tolerate these people. They have been programmed to believe all these lies and their hate for Obama oozes from every pore of their body.

In all my life, I have never seen a group such as the Republicans. I picture them sitting in the arena when the lions are let loose on a Democrat. They would have no greater pleasure.

3. OMG Andrea Mitchell is hyping Ryan's BS

and repeating his BS just in case we missed the cotton candy propaganda.

Chickenhawks in front of a war ship. So typical.

[RandiFan1290]

8. She lost her voice cheering for the speech. nt

[upi402]

13. LOL

...or something

[CTyankee]

15. Andrea looked like hell this morning! No studio makeup/hair staff...

Howie Fineman was showing wear and tear, too, on Chris's show this morning. Us old folks need our Zzzs to look halfway decent in the morning...

[Zoeisright]

32. Andrea Bitchell is a complete idiot.

She couldn't be any dumber if she tried.

[Avalux]

4. I usually can't but this morning I did to observe...

A whole lot of nothing, and the speech is so dumbed down it's as if they're talking to first graders. Ryan can only speak in short simple sentences, no 'big' words.

[CherokeeDem]

5. Right there with you...

sound off, closed-caption on while Romney and Ryan speak....ugh..

Also, Andrea Mitchell...

Ah...now Rachel..I can listen again!

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. You are not alone

I don't watch that crap, either.

[grantcart]

10. no I can only see it in print for some reason.

[Glorfindel]

9. You're not alone. I turned off the radio and put on some soothing classical music.

I'm much happier following events on DU.

[northoftheborder]

11. cannot and will not listen to Rmoney and his sidekick

Thanks to DU's strong ears and minds to listen to the lying drivel and report it here. I need to know what they are saying; easier to read it, than listen, and takes less time.

[marybourg]

12. Since I don't watch tv & a radio

knob is always nearby, I managed to go 8 years without ever seeing, or hearing more than an initial squeak, from the worst president ever.

[JaneQPublic]

16. I switched to a PBS fundraising beg-athon.

At least it's annoying for a worthy cause.

[BeyondGeography]

17. Blinded by the White

Yeah, pass.

[ThisThreadIsSatire]

18. No, you're not the only one, but...

"Fortunately I can read it here at DU without getting the least bit aggitated."

I don't know how you can do that, either...

[montanacowboy]

19. Ditto for me Grantcart

I can only follow on DU, there is no way I can stand to either listen to them or even LOOK at them

two disgusting piles of steaming rat shit

[99Forever]

20. Me also.

Especially in the mornings. Nails on a chaulkboard are more appealing.

[Nay]

22. I was listening to NPR in the car and had to turn it off when Rmoney started to speak. I never

even listened long enough to hear Rmoney call Ryan the next president. Just. can't. stand. these. assholes.

[lamp_shade]

23. I've been up since 4:00 AM and still haven't turned on the TV.

[HopeHoops]

25. Me either. I don't watch it.

[HopeHoops]

24. I prefer to read about it. I have a low tolerance for bullshit.

[Gin]

26. I mute Mitt

Now I will mute both of them.

[nichomachus]

27. 1. I haven't watched TV news in years

2. I never watch the cable propaganda channels
3. Everything on TV gets DVRd from now until November. That way I can blow through the political ads

I've gotten to the point where I can't even watch people I agree with.

[NRaleighLiberal]

29. I can't. Waited until the Olympics came on...before then, "serenity now"!

[We are Devo]

30. Real Time and Columbo

are the only shows I watch anymore. I prefer to read the news, as I'm too sensitive to take it in visually/aurally.

[woo me with science]

31. It is the most depressing election in recent memory.

It is the election that will cement the public's acceptance of the dismantling of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

After a season of hearing the horrors that Ryan's budget would commit on Americans, the public will tearfully welcome the bipartisan "Grand Bargain" catfood commission cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and SS as the humane and generous choice.

The one percent have finally figured out a way to break down the single greatest obstacle to their looting this country. They have figured out how to make Americans welcome the cutting of our own safety nets.
