Who here is really going to watch Mittens speech

[lindac007]

I know I'm not. I don't think I could bear listening to drivel.

[discopants]

1. I will because ...

after it's done I want to hear Tweety, Rachel, Ed, Lawrence, Rev Al, Ezra and Chris Hayes tear the lying jackass to shreds!

[madaboutharry]

17. +1

The discussion is great, even if you put the TV on mute during the speeches.

[RedStateLiberal]

2. I'll watch.

Just so I'll know exactly how to ridicule his bullshit.

[1GirlieGirl]

3. Not one moment.

I haven't been able to watch any of the lies and I've no plans to. Worse than listening to the Obama bashing is hearing all those fools cheering and applauding.

[nanabugg]

4. I hear 'ya! And I am with 'ya! nt

[nolabear]

5. Heck, I'm listening to it and all that leads up to it. I'm crazy that way.

[spin]

6. I might because I want to see just how much of a shape shifter he is. ....

Romney is at the best a liberal Republican but he is playing a true conservative in order to pander to the base of his party.

[Thrill]

7. I can already tell you the media reaction before he even speaks

They'll tell us it was game changing and Reaganesque.

Even though we know he is a Pompous Robot and will come off that way as well. He'll fall on his face tonight and they'll still tell us this

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. For the record, today Fox actually called Ryan on the lies

yup, pigs fly and there is a nice ice rink in hell right now.

[bunnies]

8. I will. But Ill be hammered!

[Lucy Goosey]

23. I'm right there with you!

Mitt + Chardonnay = me yelling at the TV. In a fun way, though.

Cheers!

[bunnies]

31. !!

Its a bourbon night for me though.

on edit: messed up my smilie. wonder why. lol!

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. I am notebook in hand

oy

[Callmecrazy]

11. I'll listen

But only because I've never heard more than sound bites of his speeches.

I just know he's gonna talk shit about our President.

He will not offer anything of substance to make our lives better.

He'll probably not talk about GW Bush.

He'll say he wants to repeal the ACA.

No mention of his offshore holdings.

No foreign policy.

Lower taxes for the wealthy.

No mention of his religion.

Have I forgotten anything?

[Terra Alta]

12. I'll be watching

just to see how many lies he will tell.. and to see if he will put forward any ideas of his own, instead of bashing Obama.

[northoftheborder]

13. I can't miss watching the greatest tennis player ever take down his opponent.

[Bobbie Jo]

14. Can't do it...

I'll catch the play by play here.


ETA: Changed my mind. I would have hated to miss Clint, that was priceless. I wouldn't have watched without my DU lifeline.

[Flatpicker]

15. I can't tonight

2 Days of this junk was enough. Ryan last night was the last straw.
I either end up:

A) Outraged at the lies.
B) Depressed that people buy into it.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. Watching/listening to politicians jabber is slightly less exciting than watching granite erode.

[derby378]

18. What the hell, I'll do it

After Obama gets elected in November, we won't see too much of Romney, so why not?

[TreasonousBastard]

19. Sorry, not with all those "The Mentalist" reruns on TNT.

[malaise]

20. I'll be watching

for sure

[Lucy Goosey]

21. I'm an addict, and I can't help myself

So yes, I will be watching. And probably drinking some Chardonnay and also yelling at the TV. I'm not American; I kind of watch US politics like other people watch hockey or baseball.

[reformist2]

22. I am, I want to help Obama put this election away.

[SteveG]

24. Watching reruns of the Mentalist

It's a lot more intellectually challenging and I don't feel the need to drink myself into oblivion.

[turtlerescue1]

25. Nope!

Besides its getting a little bit "Isaacy" here. DISH leaves often and easily-so that's my excuse. I'ld rather watch a repeat of "Honey Boo Boo" anyway.

[muntrv]

26. Not me.

[The Wielding Truth]

27. How can I watch something I can see right through!

[dhill926]

28. watching tennis here.....

much more fun reading comments here anyway......

[Kalidurga]

29. I tried I really really tried to watch the convention...

I got through a couple of minutes of Queen Ann, she was really awful, like one of the mean girls all grown up and wrinkly.

I watched some of Huckabees speech, it was even worse. I don't even know what that thing he said about Debbie Wasserman Shultz was about, it was a puzzling slam.

I saw a couple of minutes of Bat Shit Crazy gov of Arizona, Jan Brewer. I missed the endorsement part, she just oozes mean. But, at least she can blame it on the Arizona sun baking her brain. I assume she gets a lot of sun anyway. I have seen less leather at a biker bar.

I saw Rachel, Ed, and someone from the web, that I can't remember his name, and another guy I have never seen before talking about the convention, I can't remember what they were talking about as I was on the verge of falling asleep. But, Rachel did her usual excellent take down of who ever was lying last. I vaguely remember her tying Akin to Ryan.

Anyway that is all I can take and I am glad this thing is over. I am looking forward to Romney's convention thud in the polls.

[bluestateguy]

30. I'm too distracted to pay attenion

There is a hurricane going on now.

[BelieveMe3]

32. not me

I just readi the hilarious live blog at Kos and all the commentary here . I couldn't stand it.

[highplainsdem]

33. I will.

[Rowdyboy]

34. I'm choosing "Project Runway" instead: Fashionistas over Fascists any day!

[NJCher]

36. me too, Rowdyboy

I loves me some Project Runway. But when the repeat came on, I switched over to see the idjits at the RNC for Mitt's speech.


Cher

[Rowdyboy]

39. I just couldn't force myself to watch it....Even watched American Dad rather than American Dud until

the speech was over. THEN I listened to Rachel, Chris, Howard etc chew it up and speak it out. From the clips I've seen I missed very little.

I did like the story about George Romney giving his wife Lenore a rose every day. It was sweet, but then I respected George back in the day. He was so much a bigger person than his son could ever aspire to be.

And what I've seen of Eastwood is just terribly sad.

And I was REALLY glad that no one went home on Runway-they deserved to stay.

[HipChick]

35. I'm think I'd rather clean the bathroom with an old toothbrush..

[ailsagirl]

37. Condensed version only, and only with an MSNBC host to lead me through it

[Jennicut]

38. He is bringing nothing new. Guy is robotic and stiff.

He is tonight too.
