When did this opposition response start?I'd wager it started during Reagan's term, since the press hated him so. It's a media manufacured event.

I don't know what is wrong with CBS, but they only had glowing reviews....I didn't even hear the E word mentioned. Do you suppose there's any chance that "Bias" finally got noticed at the Communist Broadcasting System?
To: Amore
The thing is that I don't think that "backup" was bashing Bush. He just said something to the effect that he did not think the tax cut was big enough. If anything, the people responding to him were rude. I just can't believe the guy got banned for saying such "vanilla" type stuff. JMO

I just couldn't bring myself to listen to Gepfart. Has he mentioned Enron yet? I'm betting he is desperate enough to do it. Very little. The Dems know Enron is an issue that will not resonate.

Dick Gephardt, ending his speech, said he wanted to validate and/or make the lives of the lost souls of 9/11 worth something.. So, they're not worth anything unless Dickie's proposals are put through?
What an insult to their families, and to all Americans!

Something never said about WJC. He's crying in his coke tonight.

I think you are right. The Dems started responding to President Reagan's speeches, first to take some attention away, and 2nd because Reagan was so popular.
To: BigBlueJon
Is CFR still an issue? They are desperate. It probably does well in focus groups. People will say they're against "big money" in politics, but I doubt anybody is really enthusiastic about it except Democrats who want to use it as a tool for censorship.

Please tell me you're not holding your breath, Daughter.Oh believe me, I'm not. : )
I love it when Dick Gephardt is on television. He is just so incredibly unappealing to look at. He's like one of those guys who never physically matured, you know? You know he looks exactly like he did in eighth grade.
I fully expected him to whine right out of the gate, but President Bush headed them off at the pass on so many issues, he had to echo the SOTU on a lot of it. Suddenly they're friends of the military, all full of love and kisses. Chameleons, those Democrats. Truly sickening.

Dan Rather says unemployment rate will go up the rest of the year!

Hey Freepers
Did anyone happen to tape the State of The Union. I had a Bible Study and as a result I missed it, missed his last big speech too. How was it, please Freepmail me comments.
God Bless

Check out big Dan Rather all they are talking about is Enron
To: The Old Hoosier
Another thing to note: oblique, veiled, but very critical, comments about Saudi Arabia. I read in a thread earlier today that the female fighter pilot that sued to overturn the dress code restrictions placed on US female military personnel in Saudi, somehow got herself a seat at tonight's speech. Now, how would a Lieutenant Colonel get a seat at the State of the Union address, especially one with high security...unless it was a calculated dig at the Saudis? Did she ever show up on camera? I didn't see her on C-SPAN, but I only have a fuzzy recollection of what she looks like.

It is nice to have an adult at the helm rather than a lying male slut. Yes, I'm concerned about the "programs" he touted. However, best line delivered tonight was the caution to Congress to CONTROL SPENDING. If he wants military increases and the programs he spoke to, he's going to have to get them to cut off other things like the NEA, CPB/PBS, Office of Surgeon General, etc.

I'm sure that Fox will air it again later tonight.

Check out big Dan Rather all they are talking about is Enron Really? Even after the speech? That just confirms that the Dems are stumped on how to deal with GW.
