Conservatives Disappointed with Bush 'State of the Union' Speech
The National Ledger ^ | 2-2-06 | Robert Novak

Posted on 02/01/2006 9:51:00 PM PST by Coastal

WASHINGTON -- While jumping up on cue to cheer during the speech and delivering rave reviews afterward in the Capitol's Statuary Hall, conservative members of Congress were deeply disappointed by George W. Bush Tuesday night. It was not merely that the president abandoned past domestic goals. He appeared to be moving toward bigger government.

The consensus on the Right was that President Bush's fifth State of the Union Address was his worst. Republican congressmen agreed privately that he was most effective at the beginning with his familiar message of why U.S. forces cannot abandon Iraq. The problem for these lawmakers was the rest of the 51-minute presentation, which was filled with unpleasant surprises.

I'll just take comfort in knowing you will be perpetually bitter.

Bitter? Why would I be bitter? We're winning the war of ideas.

Don't flatter yourself; you're nothing more than a diversion.

From what? Meaningless chat?

Open applications, those are the ones you currently have open in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. Those rectangular buttons at the bottom to the right of the start button.

You are aware that this President has yet to exercise the veto, correct?

You didn't say that he hadn't exercised his veto power; you said you wished President Bush knew what a veto was, and you said you were sincere about it.

Anyone who sincerely says such a thing is an idiot. I can now chalk you up as certifiable, because you don't know the difference between ignorance and inaction.

By the way, your memory was correct. That phrase was not in use around here way back then. You were right to call them on it. They're making it up as they go, as is their wont...

See there you go again, winning friends and influencing voters!

Just because we're not all as bitter as you are doesn't mean something is wrong with us.

We just came on over here to mess with you and RM because it didn't take us that long to dispell the "9-11 World Trade Towers Weren't Hit by Planes" thread.

You'll notice I said "the USB;" not the "universal serial bus" or even "the USB port," just "the USB"--WITH a picture, mind you.

She's going to pick it all up real quick. I've seen it a dozen times before. You'll see.
