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.

Well I'm glad we solved that problem. Tell me again how you are different from every other socialist with his hands in my pocket? Why do I owe you a living again?

since I started working at the age of 16?

Hey, punk, we're ALL been working since we were 16, some of us earlier.

That means that I'm paying in for somebody who never worked at all.

Try not to act so put-upon.

I heard it. The poor people in Ohio had to stand in line. I didn't realize they were worried about being killed while trying to vote. /sarcasm.

I meant a meeting of the ruling Mullahs and their supporters. One well placed boom could go a long way to freeing Iran. Just a thought.

Charlie is evidently unaware that the American people considered them fools for their shameless antics with Ohio, and now with observing the risks the Iraqi's took hold them in even lower esteem.

I think one theme undergirded the entire speech: human freedom.

Yes, that's a good summary.

They understand. they just do not want to give the president credit for a successful policy, nor do they want the voters becoming more independent. Once that occurs their jig is up.

What in the heck are you talking about?

I simply pointed out the realities of what the SS system has always been.

If you want to delude yourself into believing that it was ever some kind of an investment plan, that's your problem.

I have no idea what he said after that. I turned the channel as soon as I heard him comparing the two.

The whole Ohio thing was SO concocted that I don't think any serious person believed anything they were seeing.

And as you said, in light of the Iraqis' sacrifice and courage, the Dims look even DIMMER for whining about 'standing in line.'

What amazes me, is that none of them seem to even realize it. The party is OVER.
