OK, I Get it -- You Like Your Candidate, Not the Other One

So, I was watching the Republican National Convention last night (Cubs weren't playing), and thankfully, the GOP was kind enough to install a live laugh track to let me know when to clap, boo and yell U-S-A.

This isn't exclusive to the Republicans. Every political gathering seems to have people who are over-exuberant applauders and hissers -- depending on what the candidate says.

I watched last week, as Barack Obama had to say, "Thank you. Thank you very much," about 300 times after he was introduced at the Democratic National Convention before the crowd stopped clapping. Then when Senator McCain was introduced last night, it seemed as though all the Republicans in the room were looking at their watches to make sure they clapped longer for their guy.

And, the whole time I'm watching this, I'm thinking that these are the stupidest people I have ever seen in my life. You have 90-year-old war veterans who are forced to keep standing up and sitting down every time McCain utters a word, just so they can show they like him.

Here's a piece of advice for all of these morons...since you are at the REPUBLICAN National Convention, the audience at home watching is under the assumption that you are pretty big fans of the REPUBLICAN party and that you probably agree with everything the presenting candidates have to say, so do them, the old guys in attendance and me a favor, and sit on your hands for awhile. It would be so much easier to listen to a 20-minute speech in less than 25 minutes, instead of the hour and 15 minutes it takes now.
