Plenty of Domestic Spending: police/fire training, border security, Armed Svcs. payraises, etc. Just not the kind of domestic spending the Dems want. I love it.

"I will not wiat on events as dangers gather.

I will not stand by as perils stands closer and closer.

The United States of America will not allow the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive wepons.

[KeyLargo]

Can't help but notice Hillery's golf clap and bs smile plastered on her ugly face.

[Fury]

I think it is a matter of custom that they do not applaud, so that they do not give the apperance of being partial.

[Recovering_Democrat]

POTUS just introduced the flight attendants who noticed Richard shoebomber Reid.

[July 4th]

Guess W's never had a French class. :) That's ok...I forgive him.

[TexasNative2000]

Can anyone explain why the Supreme Court Justices don't applaud?

They don't want to appear to be politically approving or disapproving of anything that is said.

Opening of the Jan. 27, 2000 State of the Union Speech......

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, honored guests, my fellow Americans: We are fortunate to be alive at this moment in history. Never before has our nation enjoyed, at once, so much prosperity and social progress with so little internal crisis or so few external threats. Never before have we had such a blessed opportunity -- and, therefore, such a profound obligation -- to build the more perfect union of our founders' dreams.

[Ophiucus]

Dignity - they're supposed to be above political matters and such to maintain judicial objectivity at all times.
