STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]
2/2/05
Posted on 02/02/2005 3:43:44 PM PST by 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.

Military must be impartial in areas of politics. They is why we have a republic and not a military junta ruling us.Well they are doing a fine job of being impartial. I did not see them stand nor clap, not even once!

Boy, I couldn't disagree with you more. I've thought that in the past at times, but not tonight. I think he is on fire.
To: tgskunk
LOL Yes, they probably do. We do have TSAs & 401(k)s though. I do approve of his SS efforts though.

And I was thinking he was looking waaaay cocky (which the demos hate) and very comfortable. All in the eyes of the beholder, eh?

We need the names of those who did the booing. Get the list of DemonRATs and "independents" in Congress and you've got them all (you might catch an "innocent" or two, but I doubt it).

Reid and Pelousy are doing the rebuttal. I'd just like to think of them as buttals.
