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.

So, in other words, they support the peaceful overthrow of our government. And they won't do it honestly, they will do it behind the cover of amorphous statements like:

Tens of millions of Americans have made it very clear recently that they want a government that is tolerant, honest and respectful.

Why not have Cindy Sheehan do the Democrat's response?

Thanks for the ping. I'm sure Webb's response to the SOTU will have as many listeners as the SOTU does.

As for defending Webb - - he's a big boy and he can do that himself.

This VR has nothing to do with that VR.

VR has hijacked, in the name of "progressive" (i.e., hard left/socialist) objectives, the term used for the way the Czechs freed themselves from their socialist oppressors.

That would be real cute. And the President should end his Address by sending Congress back home, ending the session until further notice.
