Live Thread II: State of the Union Address - Starting Now

[Jean S]

Starting now.

The pre-speech festivities

The Democrat Response Thread

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Have you seen Chad's badge?

It looks like a fake to me.

I think Helen Thomas is a hoot. By calling President Bush "the worst President in American history," she will likely go down in history as the worst journalist in American history

And the ugliest.

It's funny everyone is so conscious of Daschle's appearance - but to me it's just the result of him joining forces with Hitlery. Sometimes when people join in league with evil, it shows in their outward appearance. I've seen this change in Daschle (as gradual) over the last few months. It seems to me the lines in his face have become more pronounced.

Actually, if you really check it out - the repub men and women by and large are much more attractive than the dem men and women - and coincidentally - most of the repubs are CHRISTIANS.

WE WILL NOT DENY, WE WILL NOT IGNORE, WE WILL NOT PASS ALONG OUR PROBLEMS TO OTHER CONGRESSES, TO OTHER PRESIDENTS , AND OTHER GENERATIONS, WE WILL -- WE WILL CONFRONT THEM WITH FOCUS AND CLARITY AND COURAGE.

Kicked ol Bill Clowntoon right in the cajones with that shot.

How can anyone not like this guy?

[Chad Fairbanks]

I'll have you know that this is a REAL Fake Badge...

[Carolinamom]

Good one Johnny. You're like a fine wine Johnny my man.

[Hila]

Mean-ugly, mean Sheila should not be allowed near D.C.

[Hazzardgate]

Brilliant summation of a brilliant speech :)

"I have not a clue
I was in the middle of a post and bam the thread got pulled
A warning would have been nice .. My head is still spinning

I'm glad I wasn't the only one surprised by that stuff. The very idea. I could care less what a danged democrat has to say about anything. Not tonight or any night. Clearly, we all had plenty we still wanted to say on THIS thread.

[CyberAnt]

Well ... FOX noticed - and they have made a great big deal about the fact that the dems didn't stand and didn't applaud and most of them didn't even smile!!!

[supercat]

Before the new software which permits pagination was in place at FR, I was able to "move" 33 threads over the course of 16 hours, with well over 4,000 replies, without ever having to "lock a thread"

I'm not saying it was a good idea, but I'm pretty sure that was the rationale.

Perhaps what might be better would be to just have one thread but somehow edit the "root article" to include links to the essential parts.

Delicious post, JH2!

[zarf]

The word focus group should be stricken from the lexicon.

Will I still remember in the morning

[isthisnickcool]

Bush is stupid!

Since we have not seen that line in some time and we WON'T be seeing it anymore I thought I'd post it just to point out that the left are the people of the lie and we better not foget that. Of course they have known all along Bush is very smart, of course they have known he is a good and decent man, of course they know that he does as he says and is a man you can trust. They see in him what they are not and cannot be because they don't have the spark in them. They are vessels of hate and godlessness. And their emptiness makes them jealous of Bush. A righteous man.

[Howlin]

No, but we'll still like you.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Okay, if you can tell me how my name should have been, then I'm going to tell you that you should change your tag line. Most people associate armadillos with Texas and your tag line doesn't really cast us in the best light, if you know what I mean.

[JohnHuang2]

Thanks ;^)
