What should the Dems do to show some sort of protest at the SOTU?

1. I say walk out. They (WE) have been totally shut out of the business of

running this country and protecting the citizens and their rights. Why sit there a listen to the delusional bastard lie his ass off? Strip away any appearance of democracy. We are living under a dictatorship now.

edit: Got a little to excited. Bad punctuation and spelling.

20. Bravo!

I have posted similar messages on this forum for the past week or so.

As always, I applaud rank-and-file Democrats like yourself (please note that I am an independent, progressive voter) but condemn the Democratic leadership for being such weak pansies who refuse to stand up to RePUKEblicans. If these pansies were replaced by REAL leaders who uphold genuine party principles, the White House and the Congress would not be filled with so many reich wing subversive traitors like the scum who are infecting them today.

2. Yeah, I'm for walking out -- or maybe . . .

. . . they should each give up their seat to an angry, average American like you or me.

What if, instead of a bunch of suits, Bush had to look out at a bunch of moms, and nurses, and teachers, and cab drivers, and soldiers, and cops, and plumbers, and truck drivers?

He couldn't hack it. He would ABSOLUTELY lose it.

3. Shout him down

like in Parliament.

Make the chimp face up to the truth.. he is not king or emperor.

[Nomen Tuum]

4. Stand up and turn their backs on the Führer.

It's time to act.

It's time to have backbone and stand up to these thugs!

[cynatnite]

5. Wear ear muffs

They won't do any sort of protest at all other than the 'I don't agree' speech afterwards, but I like the idea of every single dem wearing ear muffs while bonehead speaks.

6. I want them to yell loudly 'liar'

and booooooooooooo

no more quiet and demure...I want english parliament style

[Quixote1818]

7. Eat a shit load of beans before hand! Then fart at everything

said that is full of shit!

[NanceGreggs]

8. Get up and WALK OUT!

The repubs think Ms. Alito cryin' like Nancy Kerrigan is 'good theatre'? Let's give the American citizenry a REAL SHOW!!!!

[peekaloo]

9. Wear Ted Stevens masks and jump up and shout NO to each lie.

[Hubert Flottz]

10. Moon Bushco.

[ewagner]

11. No applause for sure

and IF the SOB pulls the "irresponsible criticism" routine again
then Democrats should walk out en masse .



Drop the pretense.....this guy is out to destroy us.

[brainshrub]

12. Use strong political language, rally the base... then surrender.

Don't forget to apologize for any remarks you made that might have offended any Republicans.

[jimshoes]

13. They could slow clap him

like they do in England.

[Mnemosyne]

16. I've never heard of this. Can you

please explain further?

Do they clap to block the speech?

Thanks!

17. I recall hearing about it a few years ago

regarding some Parlimentary thing in England where instead of the enthusiastic clapping they substitute a slow cadence single clap, in unison, every second or two to show disdain.
I appologize if that is not very clear but that's what I can remember.

Edit: This from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Applause

Slow Clap

Slow clap as a (sarcastic) sign of disapproval - for example, Tony Blair giving a speech to the Women's Institute during the UK debate preceding the current War on Iraq resulted in a "Slow Clap"

21. Thanks Mr. jimshoes! I so appreciate the Brits

open signs of disrespect. :)

I sure would love to see the Senators (D) make citizen's arrests of all the regime though most of all at SOTU.

[DanCa]

14. Drop of cans of bush baked beans at the white house gate?

Or better yet the Boston Harbor?

[Mnemosyne]

15. A massive Citizen's Arrest by all of those that

still have the sense that God gave a carrot, if any will be there, of all of the * regime criminals before they can cause more death and destruction. The Constitution requires it.

A girl can dream can't she? :)


Barring that, I voted for walkout.

[Island Blue]

18. How about a purple middle finger? Just a thought. n/t

[twenty4blackbirds]

19. Citizen's Arrest

[Roland99]

22. Wear "Impeach Bush" T-Shirts

[bklyncowgirl]

23. Sit on their hands but if that Son of a Bush says anything

about irresponsible criticism or natters on about how he is reaching out to his critics they should just yell "shame, shame, shame" and walk out.

I'd love to see them moon him en mass but that is not going to happen.
