7. I'm taking the bullet for you.
I'll suffer through it - hideous speaking ability and all.

Hey, maybe he'll make a really good gaffe!

8. I can't stand it when I see his smugly lying mug accidentally.
I'm sure not going to seek it out on purpose.

9. Oh, dang! I voted, 'no!'
I should have voted, 'Hell no!"

I have enough stress and things irrating my stomach as it is; chances are 99% that I won't watch. The only exception would be if I played Arianna Huffington's suggested game, in which you drink every time he says, "terror," or "911." That'd be the only way I could take it.

17. Sorry Maat and everyone else. I'll take all No's as Hell No's.
I added Hell No, by special request after I created the initial poll.

I know how you feel about the stress and stomach irritation.

12. never watched it in the past
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 07:07 PM by quinnox
why would I start watching his propaganda speech now? One thing I'm sure of, the media pundits will say things like "he hit it out of the park" or "magnificent performance" "on the comeback trail" meanwhile, his poll ratings will continue to be awful.

13. I wasn't going to. He makes me ill and he isn't my President. Then
I thought I should suck it up and watch & critique. I bet I last 5 minutes.

20. I'm watching the last two-thirds of "The Power Of Nightmares,"
the BBC history of the CIA training Osama, the neocons worming their way into power, the abuses perpetrated on the American people by the power elite.

21. I agree with Atomickitten...HELL NO...
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 07:14 PM by tandot
There is nothing more depressing and aggravating than hearing that incompetent and lying sack of sh*t blather about things he doesn't even comprehend.

:puke:

on Edit: I guess I am just typing way too slow. I missed the whole "Hell No" addition.

24. I have an old porno tape
stuck in the back of the closet somewhere that I haven't seen in 20 years. I am going to dig it out, pop some popcorn, get a couple of beers, slap the tape in the VCR and relax. I am sure I will feel much cleaner after watching this flick than if I had watched Chimpy spewing garbage for an hour in the SOTU.

25. HELL NO...
.. I've heard the DictatorTot attempt to catapult the propaganda quite enough. It's sad that even 10% of Americans can't see through his lame ass bullshit. If I chose "liar" as my vocation, I could do a much better job than he does, he's not even good at that.

I'll spare my blood pressure and read the followup here :)

26. He's NOT Allowed On My T.V.!!! I'll Watch A Movie Or Some
Trauma, Life In The ER type thing! I'm not even watching much "cable" anymore!! I'm so sick of "same ole, same ole" pundits yapping and pushing THEIR agenda.... which in turn is the WH agenda for the most part.

So many of the middle class of this nation have been hurt in some way by these corrupt evil mongers, but unfortunately because of their "devotion" to The Idiot simply look the other way. Meanwhile, we ALL have to pay for the incompetence and outright lies of this administration. I use "administration" loosely because there isn't much administrating going on, only favorite projects that are getting all the attention!

The person who has deemed himself some sort of God is nothing more than an immoral heartless DEMON!

29. I'm watching
At this point, I just like to challenge myself in seeng if I can get through these things without laughing or screaming at the TV. Because it really isn't funny anymore, and this political/corporate/religious movement is playing to own you.

Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 07:39 PM by AZDemDist6
pressure is sky high, I'm screaming at the TV, the dogs are either cowering or barking manically, my husband is pacing, cursing and ranting

I think I'll pass this year.......

hubby's response was "Why should we, are the lies any better this year?"

31. Please.... There's a new Episode of the "Gilmore Girls" on...
http://thewb.warnerbros.com/web/show_episode.jsp?id=GG613

Friday Night's Alright for Fighting
While Luke (Scott Patterson) deals with the reality of having April (Vanessa Marano) in his life, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) tries to pretend she doesn't mind the repercussions the new situation is having on their engagement. Rory's (Alexis Bledel) concern over Paris' (Liza Weil) lack of management skills at the Yale Daily News finally reaches a crisis point when most of the staff quits in protest. With Logan's (Matt Czuchry) help, Rory makes a valiant attempt to get the paper out on time. Meanwhile, Lorelai breaks the news to Richard (Edward Herrmann) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) that their money will no longer be needed for Rory's education, and the resentment starts to build. The subsequent Friday night dinner erupts into an emotional confrontation where all four Gilmores finally get their issues out on the table. Melissa McCarthy, Liz Torres and Sean Gunn also star.

If I'm going to watch something COMPLETELY Scripted, I rather watch those who have a grasp of the English Language and believable acting ability.

35. Thanks, and indeed it is.
Of course, I just have too much health insurance and just vast amounts of personal savings from part time job I work around my college schedule.
