The LEAST the Dems can do for us is to NOT APPLAUD tonight.

[GalleryGod]

Stone faced. Bored as hell. Maybe a sneer or two. The Repugs pulled this 'tude plenty on Clinton.

Campaign starts Tonite, DEMS. Let's do it.

Sit Tight. Upright. No expressions. (except maybe clear contempt)

[AX10]

1. I remember during the 1999 SOTU, the GOP sat with their hands folded..

and they walked out as soon as the speech was done.

[redqueen]

3. I expect MUCH better from Dems.

Compare the times then to the times now.

They should walk out early.

[GalleryGod]

10. Like it was YESTERDAY.

I was pissed at the post-speech "glossing over" of the repug reaction, too.:argh:

[liveoaktx]

20. VIDEO- from last year- Dems did NOT clap and suck up, 'cept for Lieb

My Favorite 2005 SOTU moments

[helderheid]

[AX10]

27. Thanks

:hi:

[oldtime dfl_er]

4. They won't;

why give Captain Falafeloofah or the Coultergeist any fodder?

[entanglement]

15. LOL Coultergeist

:rofl:

[Craig3410]

21. Heh, stole it from the Uncyclopedia.

5. They have absolutely no clue what's happening in this country,

with very few exceptions.

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. I wouldn't even go to the god damned thing.

[GalleryGod]

11. That's the Sweetest Strategy !

Plenty of seats still available, folks! Hurry on down to the Capitol Building! Plenty of seats.:dunce:

[endarkenment]

7. Prepare to be re-disappointed.

No balls, no spine, no opposition. 25 or fewer will do anything other than clap and cheer at every jingoistic utterance from il capitano busholini.

[geomon666]

8. oh yeah

I'm not watching and I don't expect any sign of protest from the politicrats.

[GalleryGod]

9. I'm hopin' your wrong. With the site of Mr. Scalito and Whatshername

in the Presidential Box:puke: :argh:

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. But, but, but I thought they were walking out?

You mean they're not?:sarcasm: I wish they were, but they won't. After yesterday's performance, I expect nothing but the Dems fawning all over the rat bastard. Just wait for the standing ovations. The Democrats have no balls. They will clap. They will laugh. They will stand for the ovations. And I don't want to hear, "they have to show respect" because that rat bastard hasn't EARNED respect.

I won't be watching, but I'll read about it here.

13. Why even bother to go?

I mean, is it in their job descriptions? "All House and Senate Representatives must attend the POTUS SOTU speeches." Kind of like university faculty having to attend graduation ceremonies (per their contracts).

edited for word order

[endarkenment]

16. It would show disrespect

and they cannot disrespect the ruling party or the ruling party will take all the military contracts out of their states. So they can disrespect us and switfboat us and lie about us and say that 'kerry phoned it in from Davos' 50,000 times, but we must be properly subservient like a good house slave must always be. It is much worse out in field you know.

Plantation mentality.

[GalleryGod]

18. Spot on!

[GalleryGod]

17. Good Point ! No. They don't have to be in attendance.

SHEEPLE. I'm afraid.

[demosincebirth]

14. I never watch the lil' coward.

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. LOL: You keep setting the bar too high

You keep expecting them to behave as if they were in a streetfight (which they are) rather than in some gentlemanly bridge game over snifters of brandy (which they most assuredly are not).

They will clap like crazed idiots every time Bush mentions how fucking dandy is the state of this our union, they will gesticulate like forest tribe people to the massive idol of Cheney's bulbous head, they will kowtow to Bush as he swaggers down the aisle smirking at thir losery loseriness, they will nod enthusiastically for every additional lie about his dumb-shit war, they will offer gestures of respect for the indentations made by the President on the very carpet, which a few will then take plaster of paris (freedom) casts of and frame in their living rooms for nightly adulation. Not applaud? You must be fucking kidding me. You are talking about the Democratic Party after all.

[Just Me]

22. Stony silence can be a very effective protest tool.

Hell, maybe they can put duct tape over their mouths, as well.

[fooj]

23. Duct tape...now there's an idea!

Peace.
