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.

I am starting to think the the Shia and the Sunnis have nothing on the dems and the Reps.

The way the dems have been acting since 2000, I think the "hatred" between the dems and the Reps, rivals the animosity between those two groups.

My Dear Wormwood,

Thank you for bringing the term "bed-wetting liberal douche" to the conversation! Not used enough.

I do get a little tired of Sean hammering away on one point over and over, regardless of what else is said. Alan sickens me however. I would pledge undying loyalty to any of these guys that would concede a point on conscience instead of flailing away to make sure "their side" was represented.

Fondly,
Screwtape

I was unable to watch this live, so I'm watching it now, and I just have to say...I despise Democrats. They don't even have the class to give Bush any credit for ANYTHING positive. They just sit there on their fat arses and make sure they maintain their scowls. Whatever you do, don't clap. Bunch of hypocrites.

I hate to say it, but if I looked like that my husband would find himself a Monica, too, and I don't know that I would blame him.

Hannity isn't a dummy. You can't do what he does and be stupid.

I'm sorry, I just don't see it. His schtick (constantly throwing other people's quotes around) is so lame it's groan-inducing.

I'm sorry. I know he's got fans.

I will inject my opinion on Peggy. She wrote that speech for Reagan over 20 years ago. It is now 2005, and the world is very different.

Peggy commented that not all people can have a democratic government. This was made right before the Iraqi elections. This was inexcusable.

She armed our enemies with her comments. It was an irresponsible column, and not well thought.

But tomorrow, she will have a column saying that Bush followed her lead. Full of herself, she is. Bah.

I'll be waiting for the same people that dissed Peggy Noonan to be dissing Charles, one of the finest conservatives ever.....

Apples and oranges. We have not targeted civilians, we have not cut off supplies and services to civilians. We have fought those who were doing so and enabled and encouraged the citizens of Iraq to stand for their freedom.

This war has been vindicated by the victory of the vote, of the voters

Hillary didn't look well. I was worried she'd go into a fainting spell right in the middle of the President's speech.

First, his speech was awesome!!! Second, the groaning, hissing and booing were coming from, you guessed it, the left side of the aisle.

If you try to read this thread, you'll be doing it for a day or two. There's more on here than during the debates. I think!

" Hannity doesn't register on the depth meter. I honestly believe that Hannity is some form of anthropoid plant or fungus."

That's a rather Lovecraftian diagnosis. You should at least check out his earlier works, which he wrote under the pseudonym Abdul Alhazred.
