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.

Mullahs days are numbered, no need to use JDAMs and make trouble for the Iranian people.

Why, why, why is Ron Reagan on? He's so sickening.
To: deport; Jim Robinson
Good. It's time they had a new poll.
Jim, perhaps you should have a 2008 Republican Nominee poll. It would be interesting to see who is the early favorite among the Conservative base.

Wouldn't it be nice to see the details of the Bush temporary guest worker program before folks lash out?...
We just don't have much patience for members of the Church of GoPatGo tonight. And nothing Bush does will ever satisfy that guy anyways.

Yes, I know and not agreeing with him doesn't make someone an "unconservative" either. Still the point is tonight I give the man a 99 out of 100.
To: Sprite518
Iran is the best choice simply because the people there already want to overthrow their government themselves.
Something like Israel bombing their nuke facilities could crack the mullahs and they'll be taken out by their own people; the same young people they used to get power in the late 1970's.
They'll have elections so fast it will make the Dems commit suicide. And that will make Syrians sick of Ba'athist rule all the more anxious to get rid of them. They too like to own businesses and raise families.

"DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HIM!"Amen, Howlin. PissyChrissy flies with the wind...I remember him bashing the Toon about the impeachment one night and then screaming at the Pubbies the next night.
Oh, Great...here's another brilliant mind...Ron Reagan. Blech.

Krauthammer just made the same point.Well, that makes my day. I can't think of any analyst I'd rather be aligned with. I'm taping Fox...will go back and find it.
The more I think about this speech, I'm just awestruck. It was nothing like the magnificence of his speech right after 9/11. This was practical and programmatic. It's the BOLDNESS of this speech that just jumps out at you.
Bravo to the speech writers. And thanks be to God for sending us such a man for such a time.

Oh, geez. Little Ronnie Reagan just said "the speech was well read". Whatta bunch of lemon suckers they are.

McCaffrey praised the election in Iraq as well.
Guess he still has friend in the military and knows that it would be critical of them to denigrate the election.
