STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]

2/2/05

[Timeout]

The pre-spin: Bush will spend about 1/2 the speech on foreign policy, 1/2 on domestic, with heavy emphasis on Social Security reform. It's said he will provide a detailed tutorial on the SS system and its problems with a few details on his personal accounts proposal.

Laura's guests are said to be an Afghan voter and an Iraqi voter (too bad there's no Ukrainian wearing an orange hat!).

Should we start a drinking game on how many times the pool camera swings to Hillary? Hmmm. Probably not...it would likely hamper out typing ability.

Word on the blogs has it that the closing part of the speech is a hum-dinger. Set your VCR's.

Report here on outrageous MediaCrat spin before AND after the SOTU. Pictures and screen caps welcome.

That should put a stop to the "Bush is for amnesty" rant around here.

Of course, it won't.

Of course it won't as he has continually pointed out that he is opposed to amnesty but that isn't enough for some people.

Probably,but what she writes for tomorrow's papers,won't be what she says tonight;IF she's on.

Democrats look like PURE *ssH*les FOR JUST SITTING THERE!!!


WE NEED QUOTES FROM THE ASS PARKERS WHO SAID THE OPPOSITE DURING THE CLINTON YEARS.


MY two cents is that increasing the age is a BIG mistake. Its "my money" I paid in.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Our children's retirement security is more important than partisan politics.

"Instead, you got the purple finger."

And I'm afraid I know where I'll be asked to insert it ;-)

[BigSkyFreeper]

The "Bush is for amnesty crowd" will misread what he said.

[Howlin]

Who was booing? Was it the Dems?

[mylife]

We have to move ahead with courage and honesty!

[MontanaMatt]

I only wish I could go back in time then and booh for Carter when he spoke to Congress.

[Mo1]

[Shermy]

"He did say REJECT AMNESTY!"

Word games.

[arasina]

True, but I expect that mention will be expanded and further explored. He's a great poker player, remember.
