These shows are terrible, and the partisan nature of the speeches makes them worse. It doesn't matter if your left or right, they stink. I've commented on this in the past, even mentioning-I believe it was Di Nero's (sp?) at one of the awards shows where he lambasted Trump in a F bomb filled rant. It was bullshit which I pointed out.
It is also the type of thing that turns off moderates who associate these acceptance speeches with the dems. They are usually preaching to the choir and if you factor in that most of them are wealthy, it's double the harm. It's like conservatives who scream about govt. hand outs to the poor but see nothing wrong with corporate welfare, ridiculous expenditures by the military or libs who were all for busing, all the while sending their kids to private schools.
Pres: Romney. Might lose the PETA vote, but who cares.
