STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]
2/2/05
Posted on 02/02/2005 3:43:44 PM PST by 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.

"Yep, the dems look like little spoild brats who didn't get their way, and their gonna sit an sulk.. sickening. "
Yep. Don't you just love how they are showing their true character tonight? Even my liberal mother-in-law sees how they are acting like such babies. Gotta love it!
The worst thing that could be happening right now is for dems to be appearing to be for what's good for America. People are so easily fooled.

To: Txsleuth
I think we can do that for you. Now, if you folks will address the issue with some reason after tonight, this might be a much more civil place to frequent.
Deal?

Is this a first?I don't know. I've heard rumblings from the Dems before, but I've never heard outright BOOING. Shameless.

Of course you mean "purposefully distort," right?

Many of us disagee with the President on immigration policy. Nothing new was mentioned tonight. We've debated that at length. We will continue to do so. Let's not turn this thread into a bicker fest.
Those of you who join me in disagreeing with the President on immigration, let's be reasoned in our approach here.
Thanks.

I'm actually pretty pleased that Dean will be party chairman. Most of the "normal" Dems I know (the Joe Lieberman/Zell Miller types) are really upset about this situation. They were also pissed as hell that Robert Byrd was so vocal against Condi.
