I don't watch a bunch of things. State of the Union Show? Nah. Presidential speeches? Why bother? I get plenty of info right here.
True. It’s just weird in a way to now be breaking such a longstanding habit of watching the convention, which goes back so many decades with me. But I used to watch them as they would reinforce a certain kinship with those who I felt shared my values/beliefs and staunchly opposed the bulwark of encroaching socialism and the cultural, social and economic decay it was bringing. But with figures like Romney in the forefront and Rove in the background, coupled with the kicking of Palin and the Tea Party to the curb, it’s just more than apparent I no longer have anything in common with what the GOP now stands for. No kinship, no nothing.
