The problem with these Republican SOTU "responses" is that they have been filtered down and revised so many times by party apparatchiks before air time, and are so cautious and non-hostile, that they are nothing more than watery, feel-good, "let's all work together" platitudes. They never confront Obama and point out the damage that he and his policies have done to the nation, and thus come across as complete milquetoast. The Republicans would be better off with NO response than the ones they have done for years.
Yep. Well said. They don't believe in us, the American people. They don't believe in our intelligence, they don't want to risk offending any of us simpletons.
Because they don't believe in us -- they believe in the results of cheated fraudulent elections, and they believe that the MSM isn't limited to representing only the MSM.
Cruz and Palin, like Reagan did, believe in the intelligence and goodness of the American people. Democrats and the GOPe have contempt for it -- that's why they will cheat to gain power, and that's why they want to see government controlling everything from health care to how people freely, peacefully, civilly interact with open homosexuals in society. Democrats and the GOPe lack the faith in Americans to do right, so they work to make sure government is there to force us to "do right" by its own lights.
To hell with them, Republican or Democrat. If they don't believe in Americans first and foremost, then they can look for somebody else to vote for them. From now on, I'm only voting for someone who respects the intelligence and goodness of the American people and whose goal is to REDUCE GOVERNMENT TYRANNY.
