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.

She can't blink. My husband says she looks like there is a mouse running around the room and she's skeered to death.

She's counting on keeping everyone's attention with this short skirt...waiting for a beaver shot. This woman looks like a robot. Maybe she is the female "G I Joe Kody " doll.

I am 21, EVERYONE I talk to about social security, most under the age of 27, agrees w/ Bush's plan for it.

Shout it to the roof tops! LOL

(Was he GREAT! He was GREAT! ("Thank you God, for GWB.")

Way back in the 50's, Ayn Rand (100th anniversary today of her birthday) wrote of this very problem - that there would come a time when only 2 people of working age would be paying for each 1 on SS....

It's needed fixing for a long time - indeed , it's been, by and large, just one long scam - a Ponzi scheme. Bush, tonight - (FINALLY, someone said it out loud,) why do the senators and congressmen and other federal workers have the privilege (voted to themselves only) of a private account SS...That's what we have to use as our theme.

Democrat senators and congressmen have had the Gaul to say that we - the lowly peons - aren't wise enough to handle it. But THEY are?

We can pin their ears back on this one. If it isn't a good deal, why did they vote it and keep it all these decades for themselves?

(I have 15 grandkids - I want to know they have a chance not to work all the days of their lives...)

The stupid hag didn't listen to Newt! Keep talking Nancy! More votes for Republicans in 2006 and 2008.

She's rewritten that speech from what she planned this afternoon but not enough to make her not sound like an idiot.

We've never heard a clare plan? Hmmm..wonder if the media will ridicule her for that? And Reid's rollette.

Harry Reid is basically endorsing a socialist system so that "everyone" has the equal benefits of living in America---he didn't even mention working harder!!!

Now, Pelosi thinks she can talk about Foreign policy when she doesn't have a clue where Iraq is---

Libs are talking about "choice" with regard to handling our own future? When did they decide that we were smart enough to do that? :-p

That's funny; the only "choice" lieberals think anyone can handle (and only wymyn at that) is whether to kill a youngster or not.

Can she blink??! Tell me if she blinks...

LOL .. I just asked that question

Nancy wants to know when are we going to pull out of Iraq

I guess she didn't listen to the President's speech huh?

Pelosi has quite a strong lisp. She has probably worked long and hard to overcome it.

Nancy's got me trying to remember the name of that Saturday morning cartoon I used to watch when I was a kid: the animated characters didn't move: but their lips did. CHuck something...?
