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

[Jean S]

Starting now.

The pre-speech festivities

The Democrat Response Thread

[RAT Patrol]

Help for AIDS in Africa. That is fair enough.

[eabinga]

THE QUALITIES OF COURAGE AND
COMPASSION THAT WE STRIVE FOR
IN AMERICA ALSO DETERMINE OUR
CONDUCT ABROAD.
THE AMERICAN FLAG STANDS FOR
MORE THAN OUR POWER AND OUR
INTERESTS.
OUR FOUNDERS DEDICATED THIS
COUNTRY TO THE CAUSE OF HUMAN
DIGNITY, THE RIGHTS OF EVERY
PERSON, AND THE POSSIBILITIES
OF EVERY LIFE.
THIS CONVICTION LEADS US INTO
THE WORLD TO HELP THE AFFLICTED
AND DEFEND THE PEACE AND
CONFOUND THE DESIGNS OF EVIL
MEN.
IN AFGHANISTAN, WE HELPED TO
LIBERATE AN OPPRESSED PEOPLE
AND WE WILL CONTINUE HELPING
THEM SECURE THEIR COUNTRY,
REBUILD THEIR SOCIETY, AND
EDUCATE ALL THEIR CHILDREN,
BOYS AND GIRLS.
IN THE MIDDLE EAST WE WILL
CONTINUE TO SEEK PEACE BETWEEN
A SECURE ISRAEL AND A DAMIC
PALESTINE.

I believe moller.com has flying cars (they are still waiting on FAA approval though I think). I hope I got the ride address....I am just going by memory.

[Chong]

Thanks. Thought I explained it with my tag line, but if anybody didn't catch that, sorry. It was sarcasm.

[Howlin]

That's not a very happy corner of the House, is it?

[Dog]

Wow look at those glum faces..

[Slyfox]

The Dems are looking like they should have at the Wellstone Funeral.

They probably had more fun there.

[DCBryan1]

Aids? Who cares? Its a behavior-related disease.

[Mo1]

Talking about Aids in South Africa .. WOW!!

[Bella_Bru]

Someone here will bitch about it soon enough.

Americans are generous people. Giving all the food to all the other countries in the world.

In Africa, 50% have HIV (yikes) - Uganda minister in the audience nodding.

5.2 Billion with a 4% cap in spending growth?

I'd like to see a plain-old inflation-rate growth cap. Especially when they underestimate inflation.

[Constantine XIII]

LOL, the Dims are really shooting themselves in the foot!

They are being rude, but as Napoleon said, "Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake!"

[Howlin]

LOL!
