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.

Social Security is solvent. And Harry Reid said that it will be in "fine" shape for the next 50 years. Hope someone points out that that's exactly the problem - just when todays young folks will be on social security - it wont be there, - Social security based on a 52 year span of putting by $ - age 15 to 67 now.
So it's a problem that has to fixed that far ahead...

Hopefully Tony will shut Juan up and make him look like a bigger fool than what he really us.

"an occupying force" Of course, if she were referring to the gang sipping lattes in the Washington State's Governor's mansion, she would be accurate....

By giving the speech to the news outlets in advance, allows time for the BLATHERITES to dissect it and get their snarkies ready.

I am on Fox now, but I hope someone will let me know when C-SPAN goes to coverage. I like to see who the camera catches while everyone is filing in.

Try to find an all-in-one unit.

I'm a wee bit partial to trackballs operated with the thumb (specifically, Logitech Trackman Wheel). More precise control for stuff like Doom3 :-)

Trent Lott said tonight that he had voted against it twice, but now he's for it. Go figure.

I know this man is on all of our minds tonight, we who are doing nachos and beer and playing the "State of the Union" drinking game while he cannot. Please think of Cody. Thank you.

What part of Montana are you from? I was just in Kalispell Monday and Tuesday. It was breathtakingly beautiful up there.

I am 21, EVERYONE I talk to about social security, most under the age of 27, agrees w/ Bush's plan for it.

Yes...but they don't give them ALL of the speech. I am sure there will be some surprises.
To: hispanarepublicana
Try to find an all-in-one unit. All of those have actual mice (sort of defeats the cordless if you're tied to a desk :-)
