Democrats complain...

That isn't exactly breaking news...

[nmh]

"President Bush to Deliver State of the Union Amid Partisan Division"

So what else is new?

Demoncrats are still sulking and pouting over being losers.

[spaatzcadet]

I'm sorry, but the words "Harry Reid" and "Honest, Open Government". Made me burst out laughing!

The irony is killing me.

'Democrats complain... - That isn't exactly breaking news..."
Yes, but when they start complaining about their own complaints, it would be complaining of a higher, second order. And who knows, they may produce even higher order complaints.

"This is a very serious discussion of the balance between liberty and security," said Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi of California, the leader of Democrats in the House of Representatives. "Our founding fathers understood it very well. They wrote it into the Constitution. We take an oath to uphold that Constitution."


Hey Olive Oyl, if you understood all of that like our founding fathers and the conservative members of Congress do, everyone in America would be much safer now and in the future.

What isn't told....is the increasing split between some of the Republicans...and other Republicans...IMHO...

I heard on a radio news report this morning....that at that Davos soiree that Kerry was at....there was forum about "human rights"...and lo and behold, along with Jack Straw and representatives from other nations...

WHO was the lone US participant???

Well, one POTUS candidate, John McCain...and, did he use his time castigating BAD countries for their atrocities...the terrorists for be-heading and kidnapping innocent people in Iraq....the outlaws in the Sudan, the Congo...elsewhere???
NO...NO...he spent his timed CASTIGATING THE US for the "continued abuse and torture of prisoners at Gitmo"...

Yes...my friends...I dare say, there is a contingent of Republicans that are running contrary to what Bush's agenda is in trying to fight terrorism...and, just about everything else he is trying to accomplish.

Luckily, Specter decided to use some of the sense God gave him...to actually work to get one of Bush's nominees confirmed....but, not before making deals with the devil...and having it drawn out into a nasty, fight.

[Cicero]

What in the hell is wrong with Voice of America. Their job is supposed to be to give the world a positive impression of America, not to run our country down and attack the administration in foreign countries.

I don't see too many VOA articles here, but almost all of them have a leftist, defeatist tone.

Yet another agency that Bush has failed to clean up from its clintonoid corruption. Five years in office, and clinton is still effectively running these agencies.

[popdonnelly]

Yep, I'm divided from the Democrats, and there's no way in Hell we're getting back together.

That's PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSHpress_2_2>

[Robert A Cook PE]

Best thing that could happen is the democrats acting like the bunch of whining, childish, immature clowns on national television.

But, then again, they ARE a bunch of whining, childish, immature clowns who WILL likely act that way on national television.

By the time Bush gives the SOTU speech, Alito will be sworn in, and the Dems will e nursing a fresh bruise.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

President Bush delivers his State of the Union address Tuesday to outline his policy objectives for the year ahead. But at the moment, there appears to be a great deal of disunity between Republicans and Democrats.

[GeorgeW23225]

The democRATS are complaining??? I'm shocked. NOT!!

[jerry639]

Democrats complain that the president may have broken the law when he bypassed a 1978 statute that requires a court warrant before the government can engage in domestic spying.

With all the Dim lawyers in the Senate they should be able to come to a convolution one way or the other. "He may...is just Dim propaganda and smearing. They know full well he isn't breaking the law.

"In his speech, the president needs to tell the American people what he is going to do to end the culture of corruption and lay out solutions that will make America stronger," said Harry Reid of Nevada, the Senate Democratic leader.

If President Bush wanted any advice from this little man he would ask for it. Until then Senator Reid, just shutup. Remember the last advice you gave him? Nominate Harriett Miers for the Supreme Court. He took your advice on that and got his behind raked over the coals from his own base. Doubt President Bush will take your advice again.

Was there ever a time when a president gave the State of the Union in front of a non-partisan Congress?

[Mo1]

But at the moment, there appears to be a great deal of disunity between Republicans and Democrats over issues like national security, congressional corruption and the Supreme Court.

At the moment???

Where has this dude been since the election in 2000 ??
