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.

Privatized Social Security money "the government can never take away"
No wonder the Dems are cringing and whining like the Wicked Witch of the West.

(Question to Liberals .. When did supporting and defending Freedom become a bad thing??)
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.

he's doing so well tonight in explaining this policy without causing me to yawn. Usually issues like this, while important, induce sleep.

GREAT shot at the dems... "I will listen to anybody who has an idea to offer."
That was, indeed, a great line!

"Dubya didn't miss a beat....I've never in my life heard booing at a SOTU .....what asses!"
Make a note of that... America is watching. This is not the UK and we don't boo during our SOTU speech. NEVER.

"personal retirements should be familiar with Federal employees...because you already have something similar....it's time to extend that to ..... ALL Americans.

[Addressing why SS needs to be changed. Society has changed; SS has not.]
Just like the defunct treaty with the no-longer-existent U.S.S.R. that the DUmmies were griping about him cancelling. Good old common sense. Thank GOD for a President who has the courage to take on issues that everyone else is too afraid to touch!
