Here comes the Conservative 0. Pleading with the Sheeple to “UNDERSTAND THIS” in which I pray the sheeple will finally become people and shove his message right back down his throat and demand real change.
The public is by and large stupid and is just thinking about the Super Bowl or American Idol.
As far a businesses and business owners - Atlas started shrugging as soon as he was elected. They are usually very smart, geared towards surviving and will not risk their capital to hire people while he is in charge.
He will try to appeal to Democrats and throw some bones to Republicans, just like he did in first SOTU - to appear “bipartisan” / “nonpartisan” / “post-partisan” etc.
Since we know that he is going to lie when he does that, the best thing Republicans can do when he will play “conservative” is to sit on their hands and not applaud - what’s the point if we know he is not sincere?
That would make for some awkward moments for Obama (teleprompter will have a programmed pause for an expected applause) and will deny him what he covets most, in front of millions of viewers.
This will send the same message as Joe Wilson’s (R-SC) “You Lie!” ... even louder, because actions speak louder than words. And there will be no “incivility” so the media and Democrats will not be able to complain about “disrespect of the office”.
GOP, give it a shot. You can say what you need to say in your response to the SOTU speech.
