Are members here actually going to watch the SOTU address?

[RestoreGore]

If you are, why? I'm not because I just can't stomach it anymore. As far as I am concerned Washington politics is a waste because the longer these war criminals are allowed these types of amenities, the more turned off to the entire process I become. There is absolutely NOTHING this__ can say to impress me, especailly with the phony sideshows they always put on with their "guests" in the gallery. Spare me. The cable news channels need to be shown a message and that would be by not watching his obvious attempt to save his butt. It is ALWAYS about him and his benefactors and not this country, and I'm sick of it.

[babylonsister]

1. YES! I want to see "MADAME SPEAKER"!! nt

[ncrainbowgrrl]

9. Me too!

:bounce:

[LSparkle]

13. Me three

Also, I want to see how tepid a response RatBastard gets from the majority Dems. Also Webb's response will hopefully be impassioned and make quite a counterpoint to the stumbling ChimpInChief.

[sueh]

26. Me four!!

and I want to hear Jim Webb, and I want to see Randi somewhere in the gallery.

[rock]

30. Ditto-rama!

Not the whole thing of course, I'm not a masochist.

[wakeme2008]

2. I will turn it on at around 9 and hopefully get Webb :) nt

[The Count]

3. Because I hope he my fall to pieces...Last I saw him, was the Kerry debates

and he came pretty near damn close...I'll give it another whirl...

[aquart]

4. Some valiant, courageous, even-tempered souls will provide commentary

For those of us who begin shrieking insanely at the sound of George's voice.

[greyl]

5. Yes. I don't really understand the people who "can't". nt

[RestoreGore]

18. Well don't worry, I will definitely watch his impeachment trial

;-).

[emulatorloo]

6. HELL YEAH! I want to see him try his "conciliatory" act . . . .

[Phredicles]

7. Hell no.

The bastard makes me sick, especially in these Supre-Soviet style displays of adulation.

[rhiannon55]

8. Morbid curiosity, I guess

Kinda like watching a train wreck. It's a sick impulse, but there it is...:popcorn:

Oh, and THIS TIME, we get to see our beloved Madame Speaker seated right behind the moronic little chimpster. What a lovely addition she will be.

[pdrichards114]

10. No effin way!!

I want my "lack" of watching in the networks bullshit rating method to be another sign of how much I hate this muthafucka

[Double T]

11. I need an escape from bush's 'reality'...........

who needs or wants nightmares.

[iconoclastic cat]

12. Drinking game! Woohoo!

Who'll be drunker, Bush or me?

[SayitAintSo]

34. Me Too !!!

With the Drinkin' Liberally crowd in Columbia SC - annual event!

[onenote]

14. Yes. Because I prefer to see and hear these things myself rather

than just get other people's perceptions of them.

Also, I'm curious to see how the Democrats and the repubs handle the situation in terms of the amount of applause, standing ovations, etc.


Finally, I'm interested in politics (which, I suppose, is why I post on a discussion group entitled "Politics". D'uh.

[kimmerspixelated]

15. Yeppir,

For Pelosi and Webb!

[Lugnut]

16. I wasn't going to but I changed my mind

I'm hoping to see a meltdown but I'm not counting on it. I'm watching to see what kind of reactions he gets from each side of the aisle.

[RestoreGore]

Couldn't the Democrats boycott it?

You know, just not show up?

[Graybeard]

17. I'll listen..with Mike Malloy ...

...Malloy will debunk the lies as soon as they get out of W's mouth. Streaming on NovaM.com

[hlthe2b]

19. Normally, I'd agree with you, but not this year--it is truly historic

With Bush* at his lowest ebb, breaking revelations about Cheney and his henchmen, a visibly hostile public translating to at least a somewhat hostile Congress, and the first ever woman and Democratic Speaker of the House seated right behind him.

I also like to study human psychology.....Bush* is a textbook example of a sociopathic narcissist.

[momster]

20. My poor daughter

has been assigned watching the SOTU address as part of her English class. She's watching for rhetorical usage. The least I can do is watch with her...maybe protect her a little from the waves of stupidity that will be rolling off the tv.

[RestoreGore]

21. She has my condolences n/t

[Graybeard]

23. That has to be a case of child abuse!

I'd sue the teacher. LOL

[Critters2]

22. No. I'm doing a mock interview to help train a search committee

but I wouldn't watch if I could. I have three new DVD's I haven't watched yet.

[Nite Owl]

24. I'm going to watch the beginning

to see our Speaker sitting there, after that I'm going for the mute button if I can take seeing his face for long. Will listen to Webb.

[Bridget Burke]

25. It conflicts with a new episode of Veronica Mars.....

Apparently, she's going to help some animal researchers look for a missing monkey....

(Well, I might watch. With the sound off.)

[Contrary1]

27. Other than the first couple minutes...

so I can see Big Dick snarl, I have no interest.

Nil, Nada, Nein, Nr, Non, ão...nope.

[damntexdem]

28. No.

Because I teach a class tonight.

[elfin]

29. Just to see Madame speaker - then Tivo Bank until

Webb's address. Looking forward to that.

[Blue_In_AK]

31. I need a good laugh. n/t

[Cabcere]

32. Yes, because...

I have a masochistic streak. :beer:

[babylonsister]

33. Welcome to DU, Cabcere!

:hi: I think there's a bit of that streak in all of us after all these years.
