Will you be watching the debate?
I can't watch the moron*, even a thirty second commercial makes my skin crawl and my stomach heave. My mind has been made up since the primaries, and having the strong suspicion that the news media is going to declare gw* the winner, I think I'm going to pass on it.

1. I probably won't watch.
I'll just come to DU and read the posts. I learn more about what's going on in the world here at DU than I do watching any news channel.

2. No not really.
I've got news for people here and elsewhere. If chimpy were to stand their and shit his pants, the media whores would still declare him the winner of the debates. They'll say that he's trying his best. :puke:

I'd love to be wrong on this but I don't believe I will.

4. Yes, out of morbid curiosity. I'm always amazed to see how the

media manages to pronounce Bush the winner. I've got a $20 bet that Chris Matthews will use the "like to have a drink with him" line in his first 5 minutes.

5. Me, too. But I also like to watch train wrecks . . .
They've already been lowering the bar for *, even though he was a master debater in 2000. Or was that a complete jerk off? Doesn't matter, the mediawhores will clean up after him.

8. Actually, yes or entire group of faithful precinct walkers in our town
have invited all our demo friends so we can immediately begin to refute the media take. We expect that on Saturday morning as we walk for Kerry and other Calif demo candidates, we will have opportunities to discuss the truth with still undecided voter. Take a deep breathe, be with friends and watch it. We may even feel better about our Kerry than we do already and it will help you keep up the fight! It ain't over until we fight for every contested vote.

And I'll be screaming, I know. We all had better be.

13. Well you guys have stronger stomachs than I
Like I said before my mind is made up, I believe that if the chimp* sodomized a child on stage the whores would still fawn over him and gush about his dazzling wit.
I know better and so do the posters here, he's buck assed naked and hasn't the sense to pour the piss out of a bottle of near beer.
