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.

The Iraqi people have lived under conditions that we can't imagine in our worst nightmares. Neighbors turned against neighbor. WOmen stolen off the streets to satisfy Saddam's sons. Liberal groups who visited Iraq in the 90's wrote and the Washington Post reported that over 5,000 women and children died of torture and starvation alone in Iraq. These are not natural deaths.

When people have been forced to live like that for over 35 years, it is no wonder they are frightened, disoriented, and unable to stand up for themselves.

As well, we disappointed them once before and they were uncertain if we would do it again.

I too got frustrated occasionally with how slowly they seemed to rouse themselves from their national nightmare and realize they had to fight for their survival. But I believe they are doing it now and I am glad of it.

We can't compare how we would react here in this country...it's comparing apples and oranges.

I agree with you. I just turned down the sound and will go back to Hume when the 'rats vacate the premise. Yuck.

Regional diplomacy must be intensified.

and I don't know how Nancy Pelosi can speak with her brow tuck so tight that her eyebrows are half way up her forehead. You have to wonder if that necklace conceals her belly button.

It's amazing that they think by talking to you like a five year old and talking negatively they will regain power,

But they are talking to their Kool-Aid drinkers.....
