You are what I previously described as a &quot;typical democrat&quot;

Is it in your Rich De Mented capacity to wake up and &quot;just get over it&quot;  YOU LOST.</description>

		<description>Rick:

I would say Clinton divided the country by lying under oath.  Had he not perjured himself, it would have been a non-issue.
Perhaps the greater question is why the President was introducing Ms. Lewinsky to the finer point of Cuban cigars &#039;when we were trying to win wars in Bosnia and Kosovo&#039;.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;No Democrat thinks and acts in the intrest of the American people, only division.&lt;/i&gt;

Yeah like how the Republicans tried to &quot;unify&quot; the country by impeaching Clinton when we were trying to win wars in Bosnia and Kosovo. 

Look in the mirror!</description>

		<description>As I watched the speech last nite, I could not help but observe how rude, inconsiderate, and downright disguting manner the Democrat side of the aisle was portreying. It does not supprise me though, thats the way they all are. Obstructionists, decietful, dishonest and mad at the entire world for their defeat in 2000 and 2004. They just don&#039;t have the brain capacity to be any other way.

		<description>I have to agree that the response from the Dems was very disrespectful.  Especially from the eye-rolling troll Clinton.  If she thinks such pouting fits illustrate the qualities we seek in a Commander in Chief, then by all means &#039;bring her on&#039;.

It was a sad performance that demonstrated to our enemies that we are indeed weak and divided, because the left cannot break from their association with absolute freaks like Sheehan. 
 
The Dem rebuttal was priceless.  Regardless of what the President said, it would have been the same, tired message: &#039;the sky is falling&#039;.  Their catch phrase &#039;there&#039;s a better way&#039; was funny also.  There may be a better way, but the Dems have no idea what it is.  

I know it&#039;s not right to criticize a person for their facial ticks, but in light of what he said, Tim Kaine really freaked me out.  That eyebrow! I couldn&#039;t tell if he was trying to sell me a used car or pick up on the camera person.</description>

		<description>I thought delivery-wise, this is the best Bush has done - he is getting to be a better public speaker, content aside. I noticed the cameras moved to McCain when the President mentioned pork, and the need for a line-item veto (Q: with zero vetoes so far, would Bush even use a line-item veto?). If they had panned to the Senator from OK,  who would have known who he even was (I have no idea what Coburn looks like)?

The Social Security &quot;crisis&quot; response really disappointed me. Remarking that he and Pres Clinton are approaching 60 (pan to Senator Clinton), the solution is to set up yet another commission/committee/whatever to yet again state that there is a problem.  

But the Dem response by VA Gov Tim Kaine was freaky. Getting ready for some guests, I was just glancing at the TV - and it looked like he had a bad reaction to Botox, with one eyebrow an inch above the other. Maybe that is how he normally looks, but it looked like he was leering into the camera. He looked like someone out of The Munsters.</description>

		<description>Seriously. &quot;America is addicted to oil&quot; Did he really say that? Is there really any human being left on the planet that could even conceive of GWB &quot;standing up&quot; to the world oil powers, at home and abroad, and leading the US to an alternative energy future?!?

Jeezy Creezy, I though Dave Chappelle shouting &quot;Mars, bitches!&quot; was supposed to be parody, but if Bush himself had done that, it wouldn&#039;t be any more ludicrous than that point...</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The Real State Of The Union...&lt;/strong&gt;

Keeping with my previous promise, I did not watch last night&#039;s State of the Union address and, after reading through the transcript of the speech, I can only say that I&#039;m glad that I didn&#039;t. Three-quarters of the speech is, as always, pure bunk;  .....</description>

		<description>The entire &quot;speech&quot; was a stringing together of Frank Luntz-approved focus group words.  This guy is an embarassment and insulting to anyone with a brain.</description>
