How should Dems use there time after the SOTU speech?
I think they should let Byrd or Kennedy rip Bush on the war and explain in detail how Bush betrayed our country with his lies.

1. Two Words...
"Job Market"

I'd also say somthing to the effect. "Last year Mr. Bush, you spent considerable time of your SOTU talking about WMD's in Iraq... How's that search going?"

Then sit back and watch him squirm. :D

2. LOL - You can't trust a damn thing the man says, he will focus on
nothing of importance - dems will be the party of issues: jobs, healthcare (not medicare scams), and bring integrity back to the office.

5. jmow, great minds think alike
You beat me to it.

Ignore whatever new lies the Chimp trots out.

Nail him to the wall for all the ways he has failed
since the day he was installed, and for the old lies that
have killed so many good people.

10. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture
After our guy is in office, we'll have to take America through a period of debushlerization.

After Papa Joe died, the Soviets embarked on a campaign of destalinization, where the image, the legend, the man Stalin was thoroughly degraded and lambasted in all media. Some of it got pretty ridiculous.

Our campaign of debushlerization will ensure that not only will Bush's next public-service job involve chains, large logs and men with shotguns standing on the bank, but that no other Bush ever rise to a position of authority.

And then is the time to pull out the Hitler references.

13. Yes -- give the PEOPLE the chance to rebut Bush through the Moveon ads
especially since MoveOn is getting dissed by network for Superbowl ads.

7. use their MORAL AUTHORITY
Use Congressman John Lewis, the sole surviving member of the Big Six civil rights leader, the youngest man to speak at MLK's "I have a dream" day.

Use MORAL AUTHORITY!

Shame George W. Bush by presenting a man who represents the battle for human rights, for civil rights, for equality under the law, for American values.

A real man.

John Lewis.

8. Hmmm. Maybe praise Bush as the new Emperor? Cheer his speech?
Kiss his ass, er, pinky ring? Wouldn't want to offend the masses now, would they? God forbid take a stand against el Busho.

Daschle would be well suited for this I think.

Somehow I don't see them saying what you've suggested...They might allude to these things but I doubt they'll aggressively attack his lies.

9. Give each Dem candidate a few minutes.
But EACH candidate finishes his analysis of the SOTU with:

"ARE YOU better off now, than in 2000....?""

11. of course we're not
better off now than we were in 2000, but chimpy's pat answer to all that is 9/11. and the sheeple will be shamed into silence for even daring to think about how their own lives have disintegrated under the * regime.

12. I'm going to go out drinking that night.
It's been awhile since we've gone and partied it up. I don't want to watch the SOTU, I want to get a buzz.

14. Two *different* words: Toilet Flush!
Anybody remember the massive toilet flush planned for the last word of Nixon's second inaugural address? (If I'm remembering this correctly...)

We outta do this for the State Of The Nation. Every toilet in America flushes simultaneously as he utters "..and God bless the United State of America."

WHOOSH!!!

Massive news coverage of flooded waste treatment plants and exploding sewers. More fun than you could shake a stick at!

Man those flush levers, boys and girls!!!!

16. Let them show 11,000 laid off aviation workers in Wichita...
Those 11,000 used to make about $12.00 to 20.00 per hour,now the wages at Walmart looks attractive. Their benifits are all gone now,and despite this pimped up "economic recovery" thats all the rage on Whore TV very few have every been called back.

Fight GD FIRE with FIRE. All ChimpAss will talk about during the SOTU is Iraq,terra,freedoms,terra. When the Dems get a chance nail his ass to the floorboards over JOBS. What the FUCK does it matter if we caught an old fuck like SH when millions are out of work in the US?!?!? Did his caputure put food on the table or pay the GD rent of laid off workers? How about Halliburton RIPPING off US taxpayers?

Whatever,get some balls and fight these bastards! Put the pink Tu Tu's away for some other time.

David
