Word of advice: If you can't handle the convention coverage...
...TURN IT OFF.

Seeing people watch the convention, then come in and post a new thread every 5 seconds to tell us how mad, sad, upset they are is silly.

Not saying you don't have the right to blow off some steam, but what the hell did you expect?

Any rational person could told you the convention will vacillate between bashing the democratic candidate and having big old * orgy and exploiting 9/11.

If you were expecting anything else, you were terribly naive.

I have no stomach for it either so I am not watching.

1. Maybe stay away from DU, even, for a week...
I'm not watching the convention and my blood is boiling from what I've been reading here.

3. Me either
I certainly didn't want to get that familiar nauseous feeling, on purpose!

4. I agree, to some point, but...
I like that people get to vent on this website. It's the one of a very few places left that we are able to do that.

5. I watched Pirates of the Carribean last night
I'll probably watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the rest of the week.

I won't pay any attention to another poll for at least three weeks, either.

7. Refuse to watch
First time in 40 years I have not watched both conventions. I cannot help 'celebrate' criminals. I'm having a hard time finding what is happening in the world because each time I switch on to any 'news' I have the constant pandering to these slime. I have no idea is the media ever put on any Dems to refute the 'speeches' or will. And you know what, I know that just like with our convention, only the faithful are watching.
