Hell No! I have better thigns to do than watch a bunch of terrorist loving crack heads on tv... And, I'm really getting sick of hearing about, "the greastest person to walk the Earth since Jesus Christ" aka, Barrak Obama. For all I can care that man can burn in hell for all of eternity.

Hey Tom,

Though I would never vote a liberal ticket, I will probably watch a good bit of it, or at least try to catch major speeches.

Information, even that which is distasteful, is better to know than to be beaten with.

Thanks for listening,

August Helmsman

Sorry I should've said:

Information, even that which is distasteful, is better to know about than be blindly beaten with.

Of course I'll watch. I watched tonight (as much as Michelle Obama as I could) Ted Kennedy's tribute and his speech. Whatever your political bent, this 'is' a history making event. The first African-American is set to accept his party's nomination. And the fisrt woman to come close is lurking in the background with plenty of disgruntled supporters. It will be fascinating to see how it all plays out. I don't think any of us could script how it will go. It promises to be an interesting convention to say the least. And for Barack Obama (deadlocked in the latest Gallup tracking poll with John McCain)he'll have a lot to accomplish.

I watched the first night so funny from Nancy Pelosi's Lol, speech Howard Deans speech, Teddy's peaches&scream speech, the common values for purpose, you folks are going to town for Obama, you wish the White House back for your inhumane justice on the rest of us. Hillary still causing problems, her and hubbies ego will not let them leave the rest of us alone we've endured the last 15 years of them, DNC fooling middle class again isn't it a wonder your ratings are tanking??? I'm watching it for laughs only because I love the liars promising the moon and dissing the voters again when they fail to deliver.

between Biden as veep and the number He did on Bork and Justice Clarence Thomas with Anita Hill your doing great folks, Love the Deaniac seating arrangement with Ga, in the rafters, Hillary will take Obama out in Nov. because he took the spotlight away from her. Obama and Biden should do right thing resign from Senate, I loved the Prayer, since they call the rest of us ''bitter clingers'' wonder who they we're actually ''preying to???

It's a liberalist field day If you pan the crowd what's missing? The rank & file Demo- conservatives those of whom think Obama/Biden will take this change theme in the wrong direction. Providing new programs means funding, that means spending, that means taxes.
I am a Democrat yes, But I see what many have as well, an unproven,untested Candidate who's pie in the sky promises of change will bankrupt our children's children for decades.
Demo-conservatives are the minority, leftist libber's have done more to spilt the party in so many ways that's why many Conserve-Dem's are swinging more toward McCain or the Independent ticket. With Pelosi, Obama, Biden, Kennedy,Clinton, all liberals all socialistic in their views. Wind's of change are blowing yes,smoke right up our behinds.Better put velcro on your wallets folks! When Biden was picked as Veep That's when I decided to get off the fence. Sorry my fellow Dems I'm going Independant even so far as to vote for an ex enemy Mr. Bob Barr, I figure if I going to waste my vote I might as well put it to good use. If Mike Huckabee was to switch to the Independant Party, that would be the dream ticket, Barr/ Huckabee. Ah well it is what it is, as always...:(^)..trippy

Yes I'll be watching, I plan on watching both conventions, Why because, activism starts with education, the more informed you are the more your prepared to make the right choices. Listen, Learn, decide, Act. Vote your Mind, let not your heart lend you to a blind decision. To vote is a right best put to good use, let not it be wasted like seeds in the winds of change or lost in the clouds of indecision...T.I.

Of course, i've been watching was that Nancy chewing gum while talking to her fellow democrats, Michelle who now likes America, and Teddy who looked confused leaving the stage maybe he was looking for poor Patty Jo who he left in that pond, what A great American role model he is. Hillary was pretty lame and what happen to Jesse never seen him. And will Bill even show up there is a lot of women in Denver. And will someone tell Shirley Franklin she needs to get back to Atlanta and clean up her mess she looks like she is having to much fun, Oh yeah she wasn't laid off like a buch of city employees were, did she or the city pay her way to Denver ?

I think it is in the best interest of all Americans to watch BOTH conventions, not just the convention of your party. That is the reason we have so much IGNORANCE in this country. People get one sided information and run with it!!

I have been following the president elections for 47 yrs,I keep up with what went on in our goverment,before we were a goverment. I recall all the wars,the same mistakes that other countrys and nations that has destroyed them selve because of the desire to be the one in power.socialist life is not what most people think it is.check out others that have tried it,it doesnt work.Its a great burden.check in on what canada is dealing with.oboma sliped in one of his speaches,he said a new culthur. it has been talked about,cant prove it,but that he said the borders shoiuld be taken down.I recieved the tax proposal to day.I couldnt believe what I read.If oboma gets the spot,if you own your home,or buying it,better sale and rent.or the democ,will take,28% of your gain in taxes.Im checking in to a goverment project.all of you have good points,some on the money.I follow every thing,I know what can be done and what cant.and how lone it will take to do it.oboma and biden,has made and changed their mind,but seems that no one wants to mention it.the medid,pappers,carry them.history does repeat its self.we need to know what is happening.and I will vote.it dosent matter where they are black,white,or female,democ,or rep,if they are right, and they are for the people,for our businness,our vets,for morrals and standards.and most of all respect the U.S.A and believe in and protect my right to worship God,and read my Bible.well I guess i will have to settle for. my to carry a gun,no abortions,no same sex marriages. hu good luck all. pray a vote
