    Let me be clear

  2. beezle   15 years ago

    the reply was truly pathetic. The GOP needs to really just get the guns out and pop themselves in the head. A faux SOTU rebuttle speech? Applause from a live audience? And please, could you be any more politically correct in selecting who would be visible in the camera shot? Black woman, white woman, asianish maybe latinoish guy with glasses and white military dude!

    Honestly if this is the GOP’s idea of a good response or at least the marketing of one then they most certainly can’t be considered to actually be in control.

    As to the content.. inverse obama – platitudes to ‘R’ base and no real concrete solutions.

      And please, could you be any more politically correct in selecting who would be visible in the camera shot? Black woman, white woman, asianish maybe latinoish guy with glasses and white military dude!

      Three of them are members of McDonnell’s Cabinet in Virginia, and the fourth, the military guy, served alongside McDonnell’s daughter Jeanine in Iraq.

      1. beezle   15 years ago

        That is interesting to know that they are cabinet members. Are they the only three?

        I hope you do see that the shot looked like an exercise in political correctness, even if that was not their intent – though I suspect it was.

  3. Fist of Etiquette   15 years ago

    Starfuckers.

  4. juris_imprudent   15 years ago

    Wait, wait, I understand it now. Both parties are conspiring to bore us into total apathy and disgust. Then only their partisan hacks will vote and we’re doomed.

  5. Naga Sadow   15 years ago

    Hooch is crazy.

  6. lunchstealer   15 years ago

    Yeah the only comment he made in his SOTUbuttal which wasn’t the exact opposite of everything they did during the BushII years was the one about “No rights for (people that untrustworthy government chooses to call) terrorists!”

    It made me wanna vomit up all the alcohol that I’d used to sit through Obama’s speech.
