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

[Jean S]

Starting now.

The pre-speech festivities

The Democrat Response Thread

[Bonaparte]

Oh, don't the Hildebeast and Lie-berman look cozy together -- talking through the speech and "clapping" as tepidly as possible.

[NormsRevenge]

spending discipline=No More Pork . Sounds fair to me..

[gitmo]

the American Govt should not expand any faster than American's paychecks.

Hillary & Lieberman really got animated over that! Wonder what they said?

[Darlin']

Love that photo and your tag. Itgs one of my favorite quotes. :)

[eabinga]

WE MUST WORK TOGETHER TO FUND
ONLY OUR MOST IMPORTANT
PRIORITIES.
I WILL SEND YOU A BUDGET THAT
INCREASES DISCRETIONARY
SPENDING BY 4% NEXT YEAR, ABOUT
AS MUCH AS THE AVERAGE FAMILY'S
INCOME IS EXPECTED TO GROW.
AND THAT IS A GOOD BENCHMARK
FOR US.
FEDERAL SPENDING SHOULD NOT
RISE ANY FASTER THAN THE
PAYCHECKS OF AMERICAN FAMILIES.
A GROWING ECONOMY AND A FOCUS
ON THE CENTRAL PRIORITIES WILL
BE CRUCIAL TO THE FUTURE OF
SOCIAL SECURITY.
AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER
TO KEEP SOCIAL SECURITY SOUND
AND RELIABLE, WE MUST OFFER
YOUNGER WORKERS A CHANCE TO
INVEST IN RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
THAT THEY WILL CONTROL AND THEY
WILL OWN.

Yes, Kerry's there...barely.

Do you all think that maybe Hillary and Nancy are long lost twins? Hillary just got the big fat ass genes.

All the Demopukes have is mouthpieces like Helen Thomas calling Bush the worst president ever. Put a sock on it, Helen.

This year Daschle thinks it is a good idea for us all to get a muffler.

[Republic]

and about not taxing people in the first place.

I LOVED THIS LINE............my FAVORITE SO FAR! I LOVE OUR PRESIDENT! I LOVE THE WAY HE THINKS! I LOVE HIS COURAGE! I LOVE THAT STANDING IN FRONT OF OUR NATION HE REPRESENTS ALL OF US TO THE WORLD!

And, not to wax too positive or enthusiastic (Howlin-one complaint about my caps and you are in deep doggie doo doo, you ol dog you!)---but---tommy daschle looked so scary-so mean-so upset-so, well, smallish in mind and manner, I was stunned for a moment! I have never seen him look so awful.

[Jorge]

The Democrats are not standing for our President. They don't like the tax comments. Clymers.

Yes...I only saw one person stand on their side of the isle...that looks bad.
They could at least pretend to be for lower taxes...I thought they were proposing an alternate tax cuts for the "right" people?

[gitmo]

:o)

[Centurion2000]

He just drove a stake in the heart of HillaryCare. (Thank God)

[altura]

Do they realize how stupid they look refusing to even engage in polite applause. Guess they don't care.

[RAT Patrol]

No national health care that dictates coverage and rations care. hahahahahaha! YEAH!!

[DCBryan1]

LOL, he just kicked Hillary in the mouth on socialized health care!

[Ichneumon]

WOW! The internet video feed of the speech from www.whitehouse.gov is *fantastic*. I swear, it's better than broadcast TV.

[ItsBacon]

Oooohhh...nice Hillarycare slam
