STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]

2/2/05

[Timeout]

The pre-spin: Bush will spend about 1/2 the speech on foreign policy, 1/2 on domestic, with heavy emphasis on Social Security reform. It's said he will provide a detailed tutorial on the SS system and its problems with a few details on his personal accounts proposal.

Laura's guests are said to be an Afghan voter and an Iraqi voter (too bad there's no Ukrainian wearing an orange hat!).

Should we start a drinking game on how many times the pool camera swings to Hillary? Hmmm. Probably not...it would likely hamper out typing ability.

Word on the blogs has it that the closing part of the speech is a hum-dinger. Set your VCR's.

Report here on outrageous MediaCrat spin before AND after the SOTU. Pictures and screen caps welcome.

You in box clogged up? What are you talking about?

I can't stand the sight of that woman, makes me want to snatch her bald headed when she starts slamming America. She is so left, she makes Fat Teddy look moderate.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

There will be an Afghani citize, as well as an Iraqi citizen... seated next to Laura Bush.

The funniest thing about Harry Reid's speil was his saying
SS is healthy BECAUSE THE ECONOMY IS SO STRONG!
LOL!

[Choose Ye This Day]

And might I add that he looks as HOT as ever!

You might. In fact, I believe you just did.

I really hope there isn't much attention brought to the ink stained finger. That symbolism for struggle of oppressed people that wish to be free belongs to the Iraqis. If too much is made out of it, it will become another "Mission Accomplished" or band-aid purple heart situation.

[swheats]

and maybe we can see Bush walk right by her after her nasty remarks about him.

hmmm I just can't see Bush passing up an opportunity to heap coals on his enemies by being cordial to them. But I'll watch and see.

Atleast Michael Reagan is carrying on the greatness of the Reagan name and politics his dad would have been proud of!

It just occured to me....I haven't seen one popularity poll on the president since the Iraqi election. Do you suppose the poll happy MSM forgot to do a poll on the most important event since the election?

[conservativebabe]

Sure, but it's fun to toy with them sometimes. Such intellectual giant, they are

[BlueOx]

****And, well, blue ink, blue ox country...***

Too funny!!!!!

[Howlin]

FGS, are they willing to say ANYTHING ....just anything to bash Bush?

Do they not even listen to their own words?

She is a disabled child and she is sick.....give me a break.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I think that essentially was what Fred Barnes said..... they were getting close to a brawl with Britt playing referee....and Fred telling Mora she was being disingenuous and she really didn't know what the details were...

[TexKat]

Live thread for SOTU!!!

[Chani]

marking my place in the back row by the door for a speedy exit.


Drink whenever he says the word Freedom. ;)

[Carolinamom]

You're armed! They can't fool you or us any more. (PS Got your PJ's on? LOL)

[Howlin]

It was the most depressing thread I have ever read.

It really was. And we fought to keep it from breaking bad.

The sad part is that it was mostly FR members who hate Bush.

Interesting. In fact, I haven't seen much in the way of polling since mid-January.

Chances are the polls were conducted but the results were too depressing for Old Media to report!
