Boycott "The View"
I simply cannot take the smug republican, Elizabeth, and Meredith, the closet republican. Let's stop supporting these people via our time and dollars.

4. That ought to be easy...
Since the show is tripe on so many different levels.
And since most working folk aren't home to see it anyway.

5. Wouldn't I have to start watching that piece of crap to boycott it?
Or how do you boycott something you've never watched anyway?

Or what is the sound of one hand clapping?

7. I used to watch daily
but, just yesterday, in a phone call to my mother, I told her I was never going to watch that show again. She (also a frequent viewer) agreed that she never would either.

14. On Nov. 2nd she
said that she voted for the security of her and her children. The security word seems to be the belief that ** will protect them more than Kerry. They have forgotten that 911 happened on **'s watch.

18. I'm cancelling my basic cable
it was only for the "free" channels anyway. I'll use Netflix if I must have entertainment. We should be starving the corporate beast by not buying anything that we don't absolutely need. Buy used, if you must buy. The beast is what feeds bushCo-so starve it.

21. Never again
i can't believe i supported that Elizabeth during survivor and the look for less, i thought it was such a great idea to have a show that was about creating fashion from thrift shop finds. I would have never never watched her had i known, and i am sure alot of the look for less viewers would agree. Oh well, cable is long gone in this household.
