Democratic National Convention
- Thread starter DubbC415
- Start date
Ive watched a good 6 hours of coverage (shit, just missed O'Reilly....oh well).....they're doing a really good job of presenting their side, but some of them are getting fanatical. "We need to elect a Democrat congress!" and all this other crazy shit. Its interesting though, or i wouldn't be watching it for so many hours.
Ted Kennedy's speech was VERY lackluster though.

nader knows what DNC is all about.
NADER: Well, first of all, I'd wish they'd stop whining, Bill. You know, they ought to pay attention to the 8 million Democrats who deserted Gore and voted for Bush, try to get him back. They ought to start actively registering 9 million African American voters. Instead, they're trying to harass us, dirty tricks, getting us off the ballot in Arizona, denying millions of Americans the right to vote for the candidates of their choice, the Nader/Camejo ticket.
And that's what people are getting more and more fed up with; that the two parties think they own the voters in this country and they're turning the country into a one-party district by carving up the districts and either having a Democrat or a Republican. And that isn't even an election, because an election involves selection. It's a coronation, just like that raucous convention you're covering now.
It's a coronation where all kinds of corporate bigwigs are cutting deals over wine and whiskey with these politicians. And did you know the taxpayer is paying for this Democratic Convention: $13 million.

I've been wondering why they didn't show a Got damned frame of protestors, almost like they didn't even exist. I've got this sneaking suspicion that at least 20, 30%--whether FNC, ABC or CNN--of the coverage of the RNC will be of protestors and crazy shit.
If you DIDN'T watch it, you need to reevaluate YOUR life. What was more important--drinking, smoking weed? Hanging out with people who do the same shit every night?
