I couldn't take much of them in real time either, just astounded by the words coming out of their mouths. I muted and spent more time reading the group thread for the RNC and then listened to the podcasts after the fact.

I almost wish I could give up most of my interest in politics since I'm basically a happy hermit, scaredy cat in a deeply red state. There's not a lot of active change I can help with, but I keep keeping up with it. : )
