If Obama lost in 2012, would u watch the next inauguration?

[LeftyAndProud60]

After seeing this today, I don't think I could. The republican love fest going on is sickening.

[ginnyinWI]

1. it will swing back again soon.

Not worried that these guys will be able to impress most Americans. We'll have two years of no progress in the House, then the Dems will be back. Obama's in the WH so it's still fine.

[RoccoR5955]

2. I'd turn it into a drinking game n/t

[Ikonoklast]

3. Hello, Mr. Boner!

:toast:

[Fire1]

4. Not only will I not watch, I won't vote. n/t

[Uzybone]

5. No. I didn't watch either of Bushs' validation of theft

[KeepItReal]

9. +1

I do wish I could have seen those snowballs thrown at Bush&Co motorcade though. That was shocking.

[RoccoR5955]

19. I didn't watch Bush's I WAS THERE!

PROTESTING, just as each and every one of us should do, should the CONs get in the White House in 2012!

[damntexdem]

6. If Obama wins in 2012, I probably won't watch the inauguration.

Certainly not for a Repuke.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. Not unless I'm somewhere near a toilet

and maybe not even then.

:puke:

[SharonAnn]

8. No, just like I didn't watch the 2001 and 2005 inaugarations.

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. Every inauguration is a "love fest" and I've never watched a single one.

Spend the money on something beneficial, and I don't care of it's mostly financed by political backers. Spend the money on something beneficial.

I guess my answer is no, no matter who gets elected for any office.

[Arkana]

11. Sure I would.

From New Zealand, in my new apartment.

[RichGirl]

28. I hope the complex has vacancies...

...cause I'll move in next door! Especially if, God forbid, it's Palin.

I actually have a cousin in Roturoa.

[Cali_Democrat]

12. Nah

Fuck that noise.

[emilyg]

13. Yes.

[mtnsnake]

14. Never in a million years

If you were a New England Patriots fan, it would be like watching reruns of the Giants fans celebrating after their team kicked the Patriots' asses in Super Bowl XLII.

[dsc]

15. If it is on Sunday I will watch it either way

if it isn't, then I won't. The offical day is Sunday but often they take a quick oath on Sunday and then do the rest of the stuff on Monday.

[Vinca]

16. Maybe . . . from Canada.

[JimGinPA]

23. +1

[The_Commonist]

17. Of course I'll watch!

I've watched every inauguration since Nixon's.
My dad said at the time that I had to watch, because this man was going to screw up the country.

I also try to watch every State of the Union Address (although I've missed a few).
During one of Dubya's, Sweetie and I took out a copy of Finnegan's Wake and whenever Dubya said something bizarre, we would randomly select a passage from Joyce.

"Moyle ahoynkaling!" made about as much sense as whatever came out of Georgie's mouth that night...

[Lord Magus]

18. I'd watch in the hope that...

...a freak bolt of lightning would hit the podium.

[Cobalt-60]

20. I do not recognize the authority of any republican

The republican party became illegitimate during the coup of 2000.
I do not recognize the authority or legitimacy of any republican at any level.
I wouldn't listen to these creeps any more than I would a Member of Mussolini's fascists or Hitler's Nazis.
They're all cut from the same war criminal cloth.

[quiller4]

21. Probably not. I didn't watch either Bush inauguration.

[impik]

22. He will not lose.

[Lindsey]

24. Absolutely not. Just like I didn't watch either of w's (lower case on

purpose). I was in downtown L.A. protesting during '01 & '05. The thought of a repug. getting in again totally sickens me.

[karynnj]

25. I never watched 2004 - simply followed what people posted on DU JK

I couldn't stand the thought that Kerry had to sit there - and know the camera's would show him as Bush was renominated. Then to have the NYT praise the inaugural address where Bush spoke of spreading democracy as the reason for Iraq -- something he denied through 2003 and 2004 - and to have no one say "that wasn't the reason you gave America"> This was when he (and likely a large part of the media) still hoped that the Middle east could be greatly improved by every country wanting to become the democracy that Iraq became.

This time the lies would be more on the economy - but they will be lies - and NO I won't watch, but there is much reason to hope America will see through the tea party by then.

[catgirl]

26. He will not lose in 2012

I'm not worried about it. It will be entertaining watching the freaks duke it out on the right though.

[golfguru]

27. I have stayed up nights on every presidential election

and watched every presidential inauguration since LBJ.
May be it is because I am naturalized US citizen and take my
participation in the world's oldest democracy more seriously.

[craigmatic]

29. Hell no. The only way that would happen is if they had demonstrations against them the same day.

Like they did agaist bush.

[Autumn]

30. I have watched every Inauguration since

Kennedy's. Not going to stop now.:shrug:

[Beacool]

31. The last inauguration I had any interest in watching was in 1997.

:shrug:

[jberryhill]

32. Not to watch would be disrespectful to President Kucinich /nt

[Divine Discontent]

33. I couldn't watch 01 and 05... I saw very SHORT clips and turned it quickly. so, no, I wouldn't.

I would probably be buying a plane ticket outta here! ha

[old mark]

34. No. I don't even watch the national news any more. When we have a republican

president, I just ignore politics till we have a Democratic one...and in many cases, I ignore them, too...I ignored most of the Clinton administration, for example, and all 8 years of the Bush II regime.

I don't understand why I am so interested in this politics bullshit right now, really...maybe just making up for lost time till I burn out again?
