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.

"Dems booing Bush while he talks about SS going bankrupt."

"uh... why would they boo that?"

Because SS is *their* Oil-for-Food scheme

Yup, very rude behavior which we've come to expect from the party of the CRIMINALLY INSANE

Did someone say PARTY?

Booing? The Dems are friggin nuts! Booing? I am appalled but not surprised at those that would use the courts to silence us... The bastards!

Disgust...and a bucket of warm spit to each of these scalawags!

Probably not. The Dems are making themselves out to be the Donkeys that they are. Rude, sore losers, and whining, snarling brats.

They learned that's what their campaign-contributing crowd wants to hear.

They've got nothing else to stand on.

I bet whoever does the rebuttal will harp in social security. I bet whoever does the rebuttal has said or voted that social security is in crisis.


Private account is going to happen!
