Group Wants Webb to Rebut Bush Before Joint Session
(CNSNews.com) - A left-wing activist group is calling on Democrats to let Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) rebut the president's State of the Union address before the full joint session of Congress to symbolize the Democrats' "reclamation of power." VelvetRevolution said the Democratic response to President Bush's address is usually "an embarrassing, limp, pro forma predictable 'hey, don't forget about us!' rejoinder which the TV networks begrudgingly carry which most viewers ignore." Now, the Democratic response "can truly carry the message - from a level playing field - of how the Democrats envision their plans bettering the state of our union," the group said in a press release. Webb "should deliver his address to that same jam-packed and receptive chamber as the president is granted, demonstrating that Democrats are running Congress as a co-equal branch of government, and laying out their vision for the country," it added. "In doing so, the Democrats will finally show what they stand for - and that they will no longer be cowed - instead of merely and meekly serving as bit players and extras in a grand show which George W. Bush no longer leads," the group said.
LOL....yeah, right.
onyx seems REALLY taken with Sylvia Brown.
Do you really watch "the Oprah'???
I heard Frank Luntz talking about her today...saying that GOP candidates could learn a lot by adopting her communications style...because when she speaks she gets right to the point..
He said that the GOP will LOSE in 2008 if they don't get their message..and chop it down to fit "American's attention spans"...and that is short and to the point.
He said that one thing that Bush did RIGHT in his 2004 campaign was pound his agenda...and just let people know where he stands on each subject.
He said Oprah has it down to an art on communicating with "the average American"...
I would imagine so...she talks to MILLIONS every day..but I am not one of them.
Hell no. Despite the fact I've earned the reputation as "The Oprah's biggest fan on FR" from onyx. I may watch her on rare occasions, out of curiosity. In fact, I never bothered to watch The Oprah when she had the boy who was missing for 4 years and his parents on, last week, despite the fact they said they wanted to go back to living in peace beyond the bright lights of the camera. Shows like that are a total waste of time.
He watches Oprah.
BS and you know it. You just like to get under my skin. LOL
I agree though. The Republicans need to hammer their agenda every day they are on the stump, because not everyone is going to be watching them day in and day out, and the media isn't going to be covering that aspect of the GOP candidate. I dare say, the media will be totally focused on bringing GOP candidates down. That's what THEY will be hammering into the psyche of the average voter.
If you hear the Rats talking, you'd think we were ravaged and war-torn.
I am beginning to wonder if you are brother and sister!!
You two are so cute!
Well you two cuties...I have got to go to bed...I have a feeling tomorrow night will be busy and long, with the SOTU..and the James Webb rebuttal which is what this thread started out about...LOL
See you both tomorrow!!
How can anyone keep up with the hair styles...what weight she is....up or down??
I respect so totally what she has done...and how hard she has worked for what she has gotten..I don't begrudge her one penny or one minute of her fame.
Her show is not my kind of show.
