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.

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.

The Dems are hating all of this. Notice how slowly they rise, if they do at all. Yes. And barely clapping.... like it hurts.
They really are showing what sorelosermans they really are.
Bush is talking about the courage of the Iraqi voters. You know the Dems really hate admitting Bush won THIS issue BIG TIME.

I was underwhelmed by the response as compared to the responses to just about everything else. I knew I should have taped this.

"You've been saying for months that Bush PROPOSES amnesty. He didn't.
To continue to say it just shows what a fraudulent poster you are."
You are an ignoramus, but that's merely stating the obvious...
TONIGHT I brought up "BORDER ENFORCEMENT," not "Amnesty," you simpleton.
The President mentioned it a total of 10 seconds.
If your medication allows your brain-cell synapse to fire more than one cell per second, please explain the brevity of such an important issue to America's security.
