Man in the Street Reaction: How have people where you are reacted

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

to the Great Speech?

Of course I'm especially interested in the wingnut or shrub voter reaction.

I live in shrub love central, but had relatively little exposure to people at work this morning, and heard no mention of the Great Speech.

1. Well, I'm in Toronto

So far the reaction has been a bit of shock that he couldn't come up with anything new to say, but any contemplation of it was quickly blown away by the passage of same sex marriage.

2. My neighbor came over and watched with me. He is a repug.

After we talked. The thing that disturbed him the most was that nobody applauded. He thinks Bush has lost military support.He had not heard about the downing street minutes, I gave him an earful. When he left he said he needed to digest everything.He also did not feel that the emotion at the end of the speech was comfortable for Bush.

4. "emotion at the end"--like the sickening feeling of waking up after a

drunken hangover and realizing there's a dead baby under the wheel of your car?

Would it be something like that?

I would think and hope that a lot of shrub voters are feeling something like this around now, it would suggest there's still a shred of hope for our national soul.

The fact that your neighbor who doesn't agree with much of your politics would watch it at your house suggests that you have civil interaction and that perhaps he's more open minded than many shrub supporters we know.

11. He is not very political and he gets a kick out my being very

political and outspoken. The emotion at the end, it was weird almost like he wanted the sympathy mixed in with he was supposed to act sympathetic.

13. Sarcasm?

Hey, if you want a debate on the intelligence, articulation, integrity, and ethics of this avatar of freedom and justice, you've got one. :sarcasm:

7. I'll say "Welcome to DU"....

10. I think he/she was referring to Kerry's speech yesterday

[quiet.american]

8. Who -- Clinton? n/t

[Pithy Cherub]

9. Wow! You really keep Clinton's speeches handy!

:rofl:

[lectrobyte]

5. Most of the normal people I know didn't watch it. The Repub cow-orkers

here haven't said much about it either.

[peace frog]

12. Ever since the Schiavo fiasco...

... my repug coworkers have been deafeningly silent on the subject of their once-adored fearless leader. Who knows, perhaps the sleeping beauties are awakening from their long-time slumber.
