[Catherine Vincent]

1. Bush sucks!

[Bluebear]

2. What she said

[FuzzyDicePHL]

89. Sucks

Yeah, he sucks but he does it poorly and uses too much teeth.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. Contacted the Democratic Psychic Hotline and...

Madame Clara said that we should wear hip boots and take our blood pressure medication.

[Cleita]

4. Thanks. I enjoy other DUers comments. I can't watch.

My blood pressure soars.

[Cha]

9. I won't be watching either..

I've been dodging bullets all winter and not getting sick..no telling what that would do.

[American Tragedy]

13. Me too...literally.

When I was in the hospital today, my dad came to visit me before surgery and we started bitching about Bush's plan to make consumers become "more responsible users of healthcare".

I glanced over at the heart monitor and noticed that in the midst of the conversation, my blood pressure had shot up about 35 points.

[Cha]

16. EAsy!

That's what I'm talkin' about! :hug:

[Cha]

5. I want to hear bush say something..anything

..about the brave Soldiers who have given their lives for his lies in Iraq!

[DrWeird]

7. OMG! DID YOU SEE THAT!

BUSH WET HIMSELF THEN RAN OFF CAMERA CRYING!!!

Tell me if there are any good parts.

[Nitrogenica]

10. I didn't know they hate us because they hate freedom.

[DemonFighterLives]

11. big countdown on MSNbc

Matthews is hyperventilating. He expects democrats to whoop it up over the great Iraqi elections.
This will be hard to watch. What are the drinking rules? Freedom- one sip, evil doers? I can't see him using "bring em on" or "smoke em out" this time.

[classof56]

23. Personalize. Ownership. Liberty.

Oh, yeah, of course the freedom that's on the march.

Keep your bottles handy!

Tired Old Cynic

[Pam-Moby]

12. Gear up for the same old State of the delusion speach..n/t

[Cha]

17. State Of Delusion!

I like that..probably have to borrow it.:D

[AuntiBush]

78. Great!

State of Delusion to right! The AntiChrist has just announced our VICTORY in Iraq and bragging about "millions" of jobs.. wait, he said the we're gratiful. And we're the economic leader of the world!

Which world is he talking about? Chimp World!

Oh, tax relief is forever, and if you were born before 1950, flush your retirement down the tubes. Privatize is now changed to private.

He just said "Tax payers dollars must be spent wisely, or not at all!"

I'm braver than I thought... I've yet to strike the TV.

State Of The Union Excerpts

Two weeks ago, the President renewed America’s commitment to the ideal of liberty for all. Tonight, he will lay out the policies to advance that ideal at home and abroad:

“Over the next several months, on issue after issue, let us do what Americans have always done, and build a better world for our children and grandchildren.”

“First, we must be good stewards of this economy, and renew the great institutions on which millions of our fellow citizens rely.”

“One of America’s most important institutions – a symbol of the trust between generations – is also in need of wise and effective reform. Social Security… on its current path, is headed toward bankruptcy. And so we must join together to strengthen and save Social Security.

“Fixing Social Security permanently will require an open, candid review of the options… I will work with members of Congress to find the most effective combination of reforms.”

The President will talk about the enduring values that make America strong, including promoting a culture of life and extending the compassion of America by supporting community and faith-based organizations that help our most vulnerable citizens:

“Our second great responsibility to our children and grandchildren is to honor and to pass along the values that sustain a free society… Government is not the source of these values, but government should never undermine them.”

Finally, the President will talk about our on-going efforts to win the war on terrorism by supporting the advance of freedom in the broader Middle East and across the world:

“Our third responsibility to future generations is to leave them an America that is safe from danger, and protected by peace. We will pass along to our children all the freedoms we enjoy – and chief among them is freedom from fear.”

“…During this time of war, we must continue to support our military and give them the tools for victory.”

“…In the next four years, my Administration will continue to build the coalitions that will defeat the dangers of our time.”

“In the long term, the peace we seek will only be achieved by eliminating the conditions that feed radicalism and ideologies of murder. …The only force powerful enough to stop the rise of tyranny and terror, and replace hatred with hope, is the force of human freedom.”

“…The goal of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace is within reach – and America will help them achieve that goal.”

“To promote peace and stability in the broader Middle East, the United States will work with our friends in the region to fight the common threat of terror, while we encourage a higher standard of freedom.”

“Our generational commitment to the advance of freedom, especially in the Middle East, is now being tested and honored in Iraq.”

“We will succeed because the Iraqi people value their own liberty – as they showed the world last Sunday.”

“…The new political situation in Iraq opens a new phase of our work in that country…we will increasingly focus our efforts on helping prepare more capable Iraqi security forces – forces with skilled officers, and an effective command structure.”

“…We are standing for the freedom of our Iraqi friends, and freedom in Iraq will make America safer for generations to come.”

“The volunteers of our military are unrelenting in battle, unwavering in loyalty, unmatched in honor and decency, and every day they are making our nation more secure.”

[Skip Intro]

Hatty told Matty, "Let's don't take no chance.
Let's not be square, come and learn to dance."
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

Matty told Hatty, "That's the thing to do.
Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
