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

[Jean S]

Starting now.

The pre-speech festivities

The Democrat Response Thread

[2Jedismom]

I like the "otherwise dealt with" part.

Made me chuckle!

[Letitring]

What is with the Military people in the front row not applauding or anything? Is that what they are supposed to do? Sit there?

[gitmo]

How about incursions on our southern borders??

[SamAdams76]

We are DEPLOYING STAR WARS! We are DEPLOYING STAR WARS!

[Bonaparte]

Gee, that applause of Kerry's doesn't look too vigorous. You suppose he's got some kinda "nerve" disorder?

[Howlin]

Yes, ma'am!

[alnick]

Are you sure this picture wasn't taken at the Wellstone Memorial?

[dutchess]

Just showed Hillary VERY RELUCTANTLY getting up when Bush was being applauded for fighting terrorists!!! You could tell she HATED IT! (and she is wearing OLD CRUSTY!)

[Chong]

Exactly!!! That is why I put "murder" in quotation marks, with the silly laugh in my tag line. :-)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Have you heard anything you like, ov, or are you one of those "glass always empty" types? ; ) LOL

[Luis Gonzalez]

Of the two, Rummy makes the better-looking chick.

[doug from upland]

We better expand the hell out of this economy to pay for it all.

[eabinga]

AS WE FIGHT THIS WAR, WE WILL
REMEMBER WHERE IT BEGAN, HERE
IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.
THIS GOVERNMENT IS TAKING
UNPRECEDENTED MEASURES TO
PROTECT OUR PEOPLE AND DEFEND
OUR HOMELAND.
WE HAVE INTENSIFIED SECURITY AT
THE BORDERS AND PORTS OF ENTRY.
POSTED MORE THAN 50,000 NEWLY
TRAINED FEDERAL SCREENERS IN
AIRPORTS.
BEGUN INOCULATING TROOPS AND
FIRST RESPONDERS AGAINST
SMALLPOX.
AND ARE DEPLOYING THE NATION'S
FIRST EARLY WARNING NETWORK OF
SENSORS TO ATTACK BIOLOGICAL
ATTACK.
THIS YEAR, FOR THE FIRST TIME,
WE ARE BEGINNING TO FIELD A
DEFENSE TO PROTECT THIS NATION
AGAINST BALLISTIC MISSILES.
I THANK THE CONGRESS FOR
SUPPORTING THESE MEASURES.

[oldvike]

"We have secured our borders and ports of entry."

Bwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa! Not.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

Anti-Missile & Bioshield Defense, SWEET!

[Rome2000]

Project Bioshield!

[meyer]

just saw daschle standing and clapping

Daschle has the clap?????

[weegee]

I was hoping for a little more flight control than this:

Actually flying cars went out the window when terrorists started flying planes large and small into buildings and planned to distribute chemical/biological agents.

[Mr. K]

hmmm the democRATS dont seem to like defense against missles...

[Wordsmith]

Big bioterrorism emphasis. Act before the dangers are upon us. Operation Bioshield.
