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.

Nancy Pelosi: "... and I'm the democratic leader of the House of Representatives."

Sorry toots, you are only the leader of the democrats in the House of Representatives. Big difference.

The Dem response looks pre recorded. Also switching the channel to "South Park".

I don't pay into social security at all....i'm under the old civil service retirement system....i pay into federal retirement, and then have 8% of my salary go into the TSP....new employees (if you consider l985 date of hire new) pay into ss and then they can pay up to 15% of their salary into TSP with the government matching up to 5%....i'm not real versed on the "new" system as I've been working for the government since l969 but that's a very basic way to describe it....we all pay into Medicare....

But don't forget Joe sold his soul when he ran as AlGore's veep. He really abandoned all of his principles then. Yes, if we had to have a RAT, he would be the best of a bad bunch. But I'd never really trust him again.
